The Commission is excited to formally break ground on the new West Parish Water Treatment Plant. To help mark the occasion, members of the public are invited to a Public Open House at West Parish Filters Drinking Water Treatment Plant on Wednesday, October 16 from 3 to 6 PM. 

A formal groundbreaking ceremony with various officials will take place earlier in the day. The Commission is happy to invite customers and members of the public to the afternoon Open House to share in this exciting milestone for our water system. During the Open House, tours of the existing treatment process will be offered, as well as information and updates about the construction of the new West Parish Water Treatment Plant.
