WATER AND WASTE TREATMENT PLANT GET UPDATES
MidAmerica’s park owned water and wastewater treatment facilities are undergoing a $2 million capital improvement project. The projects for the water treatment plant include disinfection equipment replacement, raw water piping rehabilitation, distribution pump control upgrades, roof repairs and general site work to improve access and drainage.
The wastewater treatment plant plans include new sludge handling pumps at the treatment facility, replacement variable frequency drives at the Webb Street Lift Station and construction of a new lift station for the commercial area (hotels).
MidAmerica provides 12-16 million gallons per day of drinking water to 80 industries, six rural water districts and three municipalities. Additionally, MidAmerica processes approximately 2 million gallons of wastewater on a daily basis.

The 10th Street project will provide access and connectivity to over 1,000 acres of greenfield sites. It will connect Highway 412B to Highway 69 and will cross the entire Park. 10th Street will also provide access to the Armin Road project area. The project is estimated to cost $5.5 million.
