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.”
The MWH Breckenridge Conference featured 13 insightful presentations, recognizing standout contributions in engineering, innovation, and project leadership. Two teams were selected to join Obayashi’s training program in Tokyo.

Earlier this year, the City of Saco selected MWH as the Construction Manager At-Risk for the $50M Water Resource Recovery Facility Upgrade project. The project consists of a new treatment building with aerobic granular sludge treatment processes, secondary filtration, and UV disinfection with upgraded grit removal and solids handling, as well as the conversion of existing clarifiers for additional stormwater storage and site grading alterations to mitigate tidal flooding from the adjacent Saco River.
