What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Webster City is constructing a new wastewater treatment plant, described as the largest and most expensive public works project in the city's history, with an estimated cost of $31,881,680. The project will be managed under the Construction Manager-at-Risk system. The new facility replaces an older plant that previously discharged raw sewage into the Boone River.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The rebuild is necessary because the existing plant's rotating biological contactors repeatedly failed, and 14 of the 20 total units had reached the end of their useful life. The city applied for a loan from the Iowa State Revolving Fund to finance the extensive construction and demolition.
