Ribbon-cutting ceremony in Reedsport
By Brie Thiele, KCBY NewsMayor Keith Tymchuk remarked that "good things come to those who wait" as community members came together to celebrate the opening of the waste water treatment facility in Reedsport. 11 years after it's first conceptualization, residents of Reedsport came out for a ribbon cutting ceremony Monday. "10 years from now, 15 years from now, the city of Reedsport is going to look back on these councilors that were here and they're gonna say they did a heck of a thing because they were looking for the community's future and looking at it to protect that," says Tymchuk. "We now have a facility that was badly needed." The expansion project came about after the Department of Environmental Quality requested that the plant be expanded. "Learn how to make a real nice product out of a poison, polluted product," says Morgan. "We've had a real good record of making clean water and usable fertilizer sludge out of the stuff that's come through these plants." The expansion of the new facility shouldn't need any more upgrades for a while it's expected to last the community for the next 45 years. |
