How will the water reclamation facility impact my property values?
If potential buyers believe that the water reclamation facility will emit odors, be noisy, create flooding concerns, and pollute the river, they will be less likely to buy property in proximity to the facility. On the other hand, if the facility is not built, there will be no new development in Lawrence as the existing plant can only accommodate a population basis of 100,000. There is no question that the availability of a public sewer system has the potential to maintain or even increase property values.
