Water Treatment and Storage Facility (WTF) Project
The City of Prior Lake Water Treatment Facility (WTF) project is underway and scheduled for completion in January 2009. Once operational, the facility will benefit the whole city.
Project Update
  
In addition to the precast being placed the past couple of weeks, the contractor is working on finishing the concrete walls in the filter/ detention tank area and stripping the shoring from the deck of the backwash holding tank. The plumber has been installing below grade piping for waste lines and installing roof drain piping in the filter building. The electrical subcontractor has been installing conduit below grade for the entire building.
