Wyoming to turn spigot of waterworks
By Sara J. Bennett
The Cincinnati Enquirer
WYOMING — Water should start flowing this week from the city's new water treatment plant.
Building is finished on the $5.2 million project, which replaces Wyoming's 108-year-old waterworks. And customers should get Wyoming water again by week's end.
Residents — who for the past two weeks have been drinking Cincinnati water — may not notice a difference in taste, said Dan Sullivan, Wyoming's public works and waterworks director. But the facility “will operate more efficiently, save chemical costs and produce higher quality water.”
It also will produce more. The new facility will put out 3.1 million gallons of water a day, compared with 2 million gallons daily from the old plant.
Completion of the new, 12,000-square-foot waterworks, located next door to Wyoming's municipal building on Oak Street, is a mark of pride for Wyoming residents. They could get their water from Cincinnati, but they enjoy being a separate entity in as many facets of life as possible.
“It's probably the biggest capital improvement we've made, and probably the biggest capital improvement they will make for the next 50 to 100 years,” Mr. Sullivan said. “It's part of Wyoming independence, being able to have its own water.”
