Greenwood-based Indiana American Water Co. has cut the ribbon on a $22 million water treatment facility in the Morgan County town of Mooresville. The water company purchased the system in 2000 and this project represents the largest investment to date in the community.
The new treatment facility adds filtration to remove iron and manganese from the area’s groundwater source. A 500,000-gallon finished water storage tank was added, in addition to new backup power generators for the treatment plant and the wellfield pumps.
The new treatment plant can provide approximately 3 million gallons of filtered drinking water. Indiana American says the facility was constructed to be easily expanded as future demand requires additional capacity.
“Mooresville has seen significant growth over the last several decades, and this investment will enable us to continue to meet those needs and significantly enhance water quality for our customers,” said Indiana American Water Co. President Matt Prine.
Indiana American Water’s Mooresville district serves approximately 4,000 customers or a population of more than 10,000 residents in the area.
This is the third ceremony in a month’s time conducted by the subsidiary of American Water Company (NYSE: AWK). In September, they cut the ribbon on a water disinfection facility in Gary and in early October, they celebrated the opening of a new facility in Charlestown.
