Bidding to open for future Okarche water treatment plant
The bidding will soon open to build a future Okarche water treatment plant to help the town solve the problem of dangerously high levels of nitrates.
The town has been under an EPA consent order to remove nitrates from the water source. Levels have been high in Okarche for two decades.
In December, trustees moved forward with plans for bids to be taken on construction work for a new $2 million treatment plant.
The location for the plant has been selected on the west side of Okarche.
