City begins to lay out footprint for water treatment facility in NW Wichita

The architectural plans for Wichita’s new water treatment facility are starting to take shape. It won’t be long before crews begin the groundwork, according to the Wichita Business Journal.

The $553 million project — which has been funded mostly by federal and state loans — will replace the city’s current facility, which is 80 years old. Wichita Water Partners, the design-build group contracted to do the work, completed design plans and submitted loan applications to secure the funding for the project.
