Fisk Drinking Water Improvements

Drinking Water Treatment, Supply, Storage, and Distribution System Improvements for the City of Fisk

The City of Fisk has struggled to maintain consistent water supply from the two existing alluvial wells. And the treatment plant and distribution system are in need of basic upgrades to replace components that have deteriorated over time. A funding package for drinking water improvements was obtained through the Missouri DNR State Revolving Fund in the amount of $2,682,800. These funds were used to close the existing wells, demolish the existing well houses, and construct two new drinking water supply wells, each with their own pitless discharge unit and piping leading into the treatment facility. The water treatment plant received extensive repairs, including replacement of filtration media, replacement of the aeration tower, chlorination system repairs, chemical feed system repairs, and various improvements to the plant controls and mechanical systems.

Engineering design began in mid 2024 and was completed by the end of the year. The project was then successfully guided through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources permitting process and was bid out to contractors in February 2025. The construction contracts were successfully awarded and construction began in mid-2025. The drinking water improvements project was completed in June 2026.
