The City of Lake Wales is considering an $89 million expansion of its wastewater treatment plant to prevent capacity limitations. Kimley Horn & Associates was contracted by the city to identify these limitations. Current system usage is 1.2 million gallons per day, but projections indicate the city could reach 3.5 MGD or 4.6 MGD within 20 years.
