Dispute emerges over new water plant
August 7, 2008
Some Omaha-are residents are
going to the media with concerns over the new Platte West Water Treatment Plant, which is scheduled to go into service in a matter of weeks to increase the city's water capacity. The new plant is needed quite urgently, but the residents are worried that contamination from a
former ordnance plant could reach the water going into the plant. The Nebraska DEQ says that
it has no regulatory authority over the matter, and the Metropolitan Utilities District says that it
received the approval of the US Army Corps of Engineers to go ahead.
We can help you with
clean-water pumps from Patterson, which supplied the high-service pumps on the Platte West project. Please feel free to
contact us with your questions.
