Study Shows Creating 'Metro' Sewage Plant is Doable

A $75,000 study organized by the Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments and conducted by the AECOM engineering firm is nearing completion but came up Tuesday during a Waterloo City Council meeting.
Waterloo Waste Management Services Director Steve Hoambrecker said officials are finalizing a draft report completed last week before officially presenting it to area city councils.
The idea to explore a regional sewage treatment plant has been kicked around for decades but began picking up steam in recent years as cities began facing massive bills to upgrade antiquated plants and meet new nutrient reduction standards.
