Belleview invests in future with wastewater treatment plant expansion

Approved by the City Commission in September, the project will increase the plant’s capacity from 1.0 MGD to 1.2 MGD, ensuring the city can handle future growth and development. Construction is slated to begin in February 2025 and is expected to be completed by June 2026.

“The expansion of our wastewater treatment facility represents a proactive approach to meeting Belleview’s future needs,” Mayor Dobkowski stated. “Our city is growing, and we are dedicated to supporting this growth in ways that enhance the quality of life for our current residents and those who choose Belleview as their home in the years to come. By expanding our wastewater treatment capabilities, we’re protecting our environment, preserving public health, and strengthening our infrastructure for the next generation. This project is not just about adding capacity; it’s about planning wisely, protecting our natural resources, and investing in Belleview’s future.”

City Administrator Sandi McKamey echoed the mayor’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure improvements to support a thriving community. “This expansion will ensure that our public works systems are capable of supporting a vibrant, growing community,” McKamey stated.

Bob Titterington, Director of Public Works, highlighted the technical aspects of the project and its long-term benefits. “This project goes beyond simply increasing capacity; it’s about creating a resilient and environmentally responsible system that will serve the city for many years,” Titterington explained.

The City of Belleview is excited to partner with Wharton-Smith to bring this important project to fruition. With a focus on quality, environmental responsibility, and community impact, Wharton-Smith is well-equipped to deliver a successful project.
