Wichita water plant project remains on schedule

Wichita City Council members were told Tuesday that the project for a new water treatment plant is “on track and on schedule.”

Public works director Alan King gave council members an update on the $494 million project, which is under construction near 21st Street North and Hoover Road.  The plant will replace an 80-year-old facility that is in need of replacement.   The new facility will treat up to 120 million gallons of water per day.

King said the estimated date for substantial completion of the plant will be September 17th, 2024.   He also told the council that an agreement with Evergy will be presented soon that will provide for a dedicated substation to supply electric power to the plant.
