Ferrovial Lands $538M Fort Worth Wastewater Project, Its largest U.S. Water Contract

Global infrastructure company Ferrovial has secured a $537.9 million contract to build the Mary's Creek Water Reclamation Facility in Fort Worth, making it its largest water infrastructure project in the United States to date.

The new facility will process up to 10 million gallons of wastewater daily, expanding treatment capacity in western Fort Worth as the region continues to grow. Ferrovial subsidiary Webber will lead construction, building on the company's ongoing water infrastructure work across Texas.

"As communities across Texas continue to grow, so does the need for reliable water infrastructure," said Ignacio Gaston, Ferrovial Construction CEO. "We're proud to work with the city of Fort Worth on a project that will help strengthen the region's water infrastructure and support its long-term growth."

The project will include equalization and peak-flow storage basins, preliminary treatment systems for screening and grit removal, bioreactors, and advanced wastewater treatment technology. Construction also covers solids handling, odor control, and electrical instrumentation and control systems.

How will the facility support Fort Worth's growth?

The Mary's Creek facility is designed to increase wastewater treatment capacity while producing reclaimed water for future industrial and irrigation use. Its design incorporates advanced nutrient removal and membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology, intended to improve treatment performance and support long-term water reliability.

The project is expected to strengthen the region's infrastructure as population and development expand, while creating an additional source of treated water for non-potable uses.

Construction is scheduled to begin in November 2026, with completion expected by summer 2030.
