The Steep Bank/Flat Bank wastewater treatment plant located in Missouri City, TX was originally designed in 2000 but within several years, the city needed to double the treatment capacities of the facility.

The wastewater treatment plant was designed in 2000 with a plant capacity of 1.5 MGD, utilizing a single ditch with the extended aeration activated sludge process for secondary treatment to facilitate removal of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Ammonia (NH4-N).
