The wastewater project is nearing completion for our 2 year project. The upgrades include a brand new headworks building with new pumps and screens. Also, an additional clarifier and a refurbished existing clarifier. We also constructed new splitter structures along with updated metering capability. These upgrades to our plant which was initially constructed in 1964 gives us the ability to treat an additional 500,000 gallons of wastewater per day with better efficiency.

Riverside Flats is a multi-family development being constructed next to City Center.
