Demolition of Sweet Home’s old Water Treatment Plant was completed on Friday, Nov. 16.
The city’s new Water Treatment Plant went on line on Aug. 13, 2009, replacing a plant that was built in the 1930s and upgraded in the 1960s.
The plant had become incapable of meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standards, which increased in the late 1990s. The plant could not meet chlorine contact time requirements.
