State Representatives Carlos Gonzalez and Orlando Ramos were also in attendance. Students from Renaissance School were also present as part of an educational partnership with the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission.
The New West Parish Water Treatment Plant Will Serve 250,000 people in the region including the City of Springfield. The Springfield Water and Sewer Commission (SWSC) is constructing the new West Parish Water Treatment Plant to replace aging infrastructure, improve resiliency, and resolve ongoing water quality issues caused by climate change. The new plant is scheduled to be complete in Fall 2028 and will replace the existing treatment facility that was last modernized in 1974.
Mayor Sarno states, “I commend the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission for reaching this exciting milestone. This project reflects the pride that Springfield has long held in its world-class water supply for over 100 years, and its constant vision and hard work towards building a better future. Water is essential to everyday life, to our economy, and to public health and safety, and the new West Parish Water Treatment Plant will ensure that our residents can depend on safe drinking water for generations to come.”
