The City of Indianola Water Resource Recovery Facility has received the grand prize in the Water/Wastewater category for the 2024 Engineering Excellence Awards Competition. The $45.6 million 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. The project began in March 2016, with construction breaking ground in April 2020, and was completed in 2022. Department staff, project contractors with HR Green, City leadership and elected officials will be presented with an award celebrating the accomplishment on Wednesday, May 22, at the American Council of Engineering Companies of Iowa Awards Banquet in West Des Moines.
