In <br />June 2020, a water treatment plant feasibility study was completed which recommended <br />the construction of a conventional gravity filtration system. The study identified the <br />southwest intersection of Birch Street and 12th Avenue as the best location. The site is <br />located just east of Well No. 3. and is also within a mile of Well No’s. 1, 3, 5 and 6. <br />Trunk watermain bisects the site and raw watermain can be installed efficiently to treat <br />these four (4) wells at this central location. In May 2023, the City Council authorized <br />purchase of the 6 acre parcel located at 6590 12th Avenue for the purpose of constructing <br />the water treatment plant. The deed was recorded in August 2023. The property is <br />currently zoned R-1X, Single Family Executive and will be rezoned to PSP, Public and <br />Semi-Public to be consistent with the construction of a public building.
