The public is invited to an open house at the new Gallatin Water Treatment Plant from 2-6 p.m. on Thursday, May 17 at the plant’s location on Rocky Road, just east of Dockery Park.
Learn the process that ensures the safety and quality of your drinking water as you go through the water treatment laboratory. Find out about the water softening process, the tower, and the lagoon at the bottom of the hill. You will see much of the ground level pipe-work. Large photos will depict those parts of the plant that, for safety reasons, can’t be seen on the tour. Cups will be given for momentos.
The United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development partnered with the City of Gallatin and the Friends of Gallatin to provide funding for the water plant as well as a bucket truck. Their representatives, along with engineers from Snyder & Associates, representatives from Green Hills Regional Planning Commission (GHRPC), and field representatives for Congressman Sam Graves and U. S. Senator Claire McCaskill were at the water plant on May 10 for a presentation of Certificates of Recognition.
