Mobile Workshop Presented by Burns & McDonnell

10/10/2024 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM

The City of Wichita broke ground at 21st and Hoover in October 2020, to construct a new water treatment facility, serving up to 550,000 people across Wichita and surrounding communities. This new facility will replace an 80-year-old facility, and will boast state-of-the-art features, sized to meet peak hourly demand with the ability to treat up to 120 million gallons of water each day. This tour will be led by representatives from Burns & McDonnell, one of the lead firms on the project.

 

This year, tour participants will have the ability to exit the bus and walk around the nearly-complete project. Closed toed shoes recommended.
