(KNZA)--The city of Horton will hold an open house at the city's new wastewater treatment facility Tuesday afternoon, August 1, to allow residents an opportunity to view the facility.
The open house will take place from 3 to 6 at 1514 100th Street, in Horton.
The city's original wastewater treatment plant, which was constructed in 1956, was having trouble meeting the modern, much stricter permit limits.
In October of 2021, construction began on a $6.3 million facility upgrade. The project was completed in September 2022.
Financing for the project was secured from USDA Rural Development, with roughly 40 percent of the money coming as a grant.
The project was engineered by BG Consultants and the general contractor was AHRS Construction.
Earlier this year, the city of Horton was recognized by the Kansas Rural Water Association for having the “ Most Improved Wastewater System of the Year.”
