Northfield Anticipates Building New Water Treatment Plant
The Northfield City Council has approved construction of a water treatment plant, which was initially presented to lower manganese levels. The plant is now proposed as a $33 million community-wide gravity filtration and RO system.
MWQA participated in a community meeting in 2023, and has been monitoring the proposal. Funding from the Clean Water and Drinking Water Revolving Funds was not allocated to Northfield’s project, although the city did receive a federal grant to cover approximately 2/3 of the project.
The Council has a presentation on their website that you can view here.
