Why is there a wastewater treatment plant on Grant Avenue ?
This treatment plant was first constructed in 1954 and was on the eastern edge of the City. All of the wastewater is brought to the plant using buried sewers that use gravity to move the wastewater to the plant. Over the last 45 years, the growth of the City has surrounded the plant. The plant is boxed in between the Union Pacific railroad tracks to the south, Grant Avenue to the north and east and commercial development to the west.
