Pioneer Rural Water District Approves Bond Resolutions for Plant Expansion
The Pioneer Rural Water District Board of Directors unanimously approved resolutions on Tuesday allowing the district to sell up to $15.5 million in public market bonds to finance a two-phase expansion of its water treatment plant. Phase 1 features an $11 million, 5 million-gallons-per-day ozone treatment system—slated to come online next July—that will eliminate supplemental water purchases from Seneca, while Phase 2 will expand capacity to 5 MGD backed by an expected $8 million U.S. Economic Development Administration grant. With Wells Fargo engaged to sell the bonds on Nov. 17 and an anticipated closing date of Dec. 1, general manager Terry Pruitt noted that contractors are ready to begin work as soon as the financing is finalized.
