Something new on the horizon in Drexel

Much needed water system improvements are well underway in and around Drexel, and as seen here, the new 250,000 gallon water tower is nearing completion on the northwest corner of town. The new tower will be filled via a new 10 inch water main that will run from near Harrisonville to Drexel. Along the way, a booster pump station located at 293rd and O Highway will push the water to it's final destination after traveling through about 70 miles of pipe from the Tri County Water Authority water plant in Independence, Mo.

Plans also call for the replacement of some water lines within the city limits; completion of the entire project is slated for February, 2011.
