In 2001, Cape Coral city officials prepared a comprehensive utility master plan to keep pace with increasing demands in one of the country’s fastest growing cities. A major part of the City’s program was a design/Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Utility Expansion Program (UEP) that added 720 miles of water, gravity sewer, and irrigation pipelines, 240 miles of residential road, and 34 wastewater pump stations for residential and light industrial service. MWH Constructors managed this large-scale program for the City and provided all facility design and engineering services, design support during construction, and full CMAR services - including a 24/7 hotline for 23,000 residential customers served.
In 2004, the City awarded MWH a subsequent seven-year, design/CMAR contract to further expand its water, sewer and irrigation collection, distribution and transmission systems and to expand its production and treatment plant capacities through the Facility Expansion Program (FEP).
MWHC doubled the capacity of Cape Coral’s two wastewater reclamation plants; designed a third new plant; expanded the existing water treatment plant; and built a new 12-mgd reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment plant. The design/CMAR projects under the FEP included the following:
MWH and the City conducted system-wide value engineering exercises to identify the most economic and sustainable solutions for the City’s water and wastewater treatment needs, demonstrating more than$26M in cost savings.
“MWH has delivered all of the City’s projects on schedule, on budget and with a responsiveness and flexibility that is rare in any company these days. Your spirit of cooperation and partnership has made a huge difference in the productivity of the teams, our staff and the ultimate quality of the projects.”
After a year of meticulous planning and excited anticipation, MWH’s Phoenix Team moved into their new office on June 1, 2023. Let’s take a look around!

MWH is continuing to work uninterrupted on the Biosolids Digester Facilities Project (BDFP). The long-term, largescale project represents a significant overhaul of the Southeast Treatment Plant, San Francisco’s largest wastewater pollution treatment plant. BDFP is set to redefine the way wastewater is treated in the city, aiming to process up to 800 million gallons per day (MGD) and serving about 80% of the city’s population. Implementing state-of-the-art technologies and innovation, the project underscores MWH’s commitment to environmental sustainability and urban rejuvenation. The revamped plant will set new standards in waste management and pollution control, marking a major milestone in San Francisco’s environmental management history.
