Omaha dedicates new Platte West water treatment plant
October 15, 2008
Omaha's Platte West Water Treatment Plant is being
dedicated today. The new plant, which uses
Patterson horizontal split-case pumps to create system pressure, increases Omaha's available water supply by almost 50%. Interestingly, the plant is
upstream of Lincoln's water plant, even though Omaha is about 60 miles to the west of the capital city. A
video documenting the steps that led to the plant's construction gives a fine overview of the process.
