A master plan for Nebraska City's water system is currently available at city hall.
The plan recommends several projects, including a new wellfield, new water tower and service improvements for the J. Sterling Morton Beltway.
A new wellfield, expected to cost about $9 million, is recommended for lowland near the Missouri River east of St. Benedict’s Cemetery. The new wellfield would provide up to 2.6 million gallons per day.
Nebraska City’s water currently comes from nine shallow wells north of the city. The water plant typicially operates 16 hours a day, but may operate up to 20 hours per day during the summer.
Also proposed, is a $1.4 million pressure zone and pump station near 19th Street and Fifth Corso.
The new zone will serve customers south of Nebraska City and along the J. Sterling Morton Beltway.
A second water tower, holding 750,000 gallons of water, is also proposed north of the beltway.
