Peoria is moving forward to bring a new advanced water purification facility online that officials say will give the city greater water security as questions arise about current supplies.
To reach full potential, the city will invest more than $1 billion into the project over many years, and work has already begun.
Chris Sterne, Peoria’s water services engineering supervisor, said staff is developing a long-term financial strategy for the AWP facility and its supporting projects with the goal of integrating the investments into the city’s existing rate structure over time.
