New water plant construction starting fall 2016

Water demand is nowhere near what it used to be in North Liberty. To keep our water system on pace with our growing population a new water plant with higher power and more storage is needed.
Planning for this new North Liberty water treatment plant is well underway. City officials say final plans for the plant will be submitted around July and the project will go out for bid shortly after. Construction for this  two phase project is hoped to start this fall at the current public works campus off of south Front Street. Work on the roughly 20 million dollar project is estimated for completion in early 2019.
North Liberty Water Superintendent Greg Metternich walks through some finer details of the new plant and explains the long term benefits it will bring to the city.
