A groundbreaking celebration for the new Wastewater Treatment Facility - join the Chamber Ambassadors during the weekly Chamber coffee to learn more and celebrate the start of the project.
DETAILS: In 2019 the city conducted a feasibility study to determine if updates could be made to the existing sewer plant and investigated lower cost alternatives. After exhausting all other options, it was determined that the construction of new treatment systems will be required. The plant has undergone several updates since it was originally built in 1954, but the current facility is not capable of meeting the new DNR standards.
The estimated cost of construction for the wastewater treatment facility upgrade is $15 million. Construction is expected to begin in Spring 2024 and take approximately two years to complete. The city has, and will continue to explore, potential cost efficiencies through design as well as low-interest financing, grants, and other state or federal programs which may help lessen the cost burden placed on our residents by this state mandate. Unfortunately, there is no way to generate the funds necessary for this project without all user types being significantly impacted.
A significant driver of the estimated project and cost and the two-year construction timeline is the complexity of having to maintain operations of the wastewater plant while removing, replacing, and constructing new treatment systems and piping. The project will require demolition and construction of several new treatment systems at the city's existing wastewater facility, all while maintaining ongoing plant operations. Additional treatments for phosphorus and nitrate removal will also be added.
