Light appetizers and refreshments will also be provided.   About The Plant  Nestled in northwest Indianola outside of city limits, the City of Indianola's new state-of-the-art Water Resource Recovery Facility is one of the first wastewater treatment plants in the state to implement the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy – a science and technology-based approach to assess and reduce nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus delivered to Iowa waterways and the Gulf of Mexico.    Planning and development of the revamped site began in March 2016, with construction breaking ground in April 2020. The previous wastewater treatment plant, built in 1978 and designed for a population of 11,600 residents, was well beyond its useful life of 30 years, aging infrastructure and stricter regulations where the community's investment for a new plant was essential.     Following its completion in October 2022, and with an estimated growing population of more than 16,000 residents, the City of Indianola's Water Resource Recovery Facility today meets all of the state regulations established by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the federal requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.     In April, the facility received the grand prize in the Water/Wastewater category for the 2024 Engineering Excellence Awards Competition.    For more information about the Water Resource Recovery Facility and the Water Resource Recovery Department, please visit www.indianolaiowa.gov/163/Water-Resource-Recovery-Department.   RSVP  If you would like to attend the open house, and to help the City gauge interest in preparation of the open house, please RSVP by the end of the day Friday, September 27.
