CITY DEDICATES NEW WATER PLANT

A NEW WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS UP AND RUNNING AND SERVING THE SOUTHBRIDGE AREA OF SIOUX CITY.

PLANT SUPERVISOR RICK MACH SAYS THE 27 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT CONTAINS THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE FRESH WATER TO THE SOUTHBRIDGE AND PORT NEAL AREAS, AS WELL AS PART OF MORNINGSIDE:
  

MACH SAYS STREET IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING RELOCATING PART OF HARBOR DRIVE, PLUS A NEW WELL FIELD AND WATER PIPES BRING THE CITY'S TOTAL INVESTMENT TO 52 MILLION DOLLARS.

HE SAYS THE PLANT CAN BE EXPANDED TO A 30 MILLION GALLON PER DAY CAPACITY AS THE SOUTHBRIDGE INDUSTRIAL PARK ADDS NEW BUSINESSES.

THE PLANT WILL WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY'S MAIN WATER PLANT ON TRI VIEW AVENUE.
