BENTON, IL – (Rick Hayes, Benton News. Please click on the link for the full story.  Here is an excerpt below.)

Benton’s new wastewater treatment plant has reached the halfway point of construction and is expected to be operational by spring 2018.

Officials from River City Construction, the general contractor, and HMG (Henry, Meisenheimer and Gende) Engineers say that while most of the construction will be complete by the end of 2017, it will take a few more months to install the equipment and check the system. An April 1, 2018, date has been set for the plant to become fully operational.

“We’re at 56 percent completion money-wise and work-wise too. All of their equipment is beginning to show up since we started in January,” said Harry Borrenpohl, senior project manager for HMG.
