[Music] A site has been approved for a new water treatment plant in the greater Southdale area, but before it can be built, a longstanding building must be demolished. Last month, the city council approved using the land currently occupied by fire station 2, which is set to be replaced with a much larger building at a new location later this year. Edina TV shows us why a new water treatment plant is needed in the area. Thousands of homes and businesses in Edina use millions of gallons of water every day. This is water treatment plant number six. This is one of five treatment facilities. Most of it is treated in a place like this. So we have various wells that produce raw water into this facility. And this line right here is that raw water line. It's filtered and treated to make it clean and safe to drink. After all the treatment trains, clean water is distributed out this dark blue line into our distribution system. But if you're in the South Dale area, that glass of water likely has a unique flavor. There's taste and order issues because we got to use water right from the aquifer that doesn't go through a treatment plant. It's still safe to drink. A solution to these issues lies in a new water treatment plant and the city council has approved its location. We finally zeroed in on the Yorktown Park or where the fire station number two site is because we were starting to build a new fire station. So, we looked at that site previously, but with a fire station there, there wasn't enough space to make it happen. The city council will be asked to approve the demolition of fire station 2 in 2026. A new plant will also take the load off of plant number six when others are taken offline for maintenance. The design of the building will be decided after a redesign of the nearby Adam Hills Park in Ridgefield. So, they're going to do some master planning for the parks in 2026. Once we understand what the community wants for the park, then we'll see how we integrate the water treatment plant at that time. Once built, the new facility will serve up great tasting water for at least 50 years. something you build once and hopefully maintain for a very very long time. I'm Dan Carpenter for Adina TV. The public will have an opportunity to provide input on the design of the new water treatment plant in two to three years. Construction is projected to begin in four to six
