Major improvements for Drexel water system coming

Deemed "much needed" water improvements are underway for the city of Drexel over the next year. Problems with  the aged water plant have been cause for repeated boil orders or worse yet, no water available for residents over the years.

A contract to purchase water from Tri County Water Authority in Independence, Mo. shows improvements to include a new 10 inch water main to be laid between a point near Harrisonville to Drexel with a new booster pump station near 293rd and O Highway. Plans also include a new 250,000 gallon water tower to be constructed near State line, just northwest of town.

Within the city, there are plans to replace and upgrade the majority of water lines throughout town.

The entire project is slated for completion February 17, 2011 with a total cost projection of close to $4.5 million dollars. Nearly $2 million of the money comes from the American Recovery Act; you can learn more about the program by clicking here. Get info by putting Drexel's zip code 64742 in the search box.

Bates County Live will report progress as the project moves forward.
