Celebrating our $26M addition to our Water Reclamation Plant
Seventy years ago, we dumped our waste directly into the Kalamazoo River. Today, we celebrated a new $26 million facility that treats 27 million gallons of wastewater every single day—keeping our community and environment healthy.
This work happens in the shadows. It's mud and guts and skilled hands and people showing up around the clock. But it's also a beautiful metaphor for how we care for one another—not just for ourselves, but for our entire community, our river, our future.
Thank you to Director Baker, the entire Public Services team, and everyone who's kept this plant running for seven decades. This is work we need to talk about more. This is how we show up.
