Twenty million dollars of pre-construction work is under way at the Shasta Dam and reservoir in advance of a $1.5 billion project to raise the dam 18.5 ft. Shasta Dam is the largest reservoir in California and second largest in the United States after Grand Cooley.

Population growth and a need for modernization has necessitated a $34.5M expansion of the wastewater treatment plant in Loveland, Colo. The expansion also uses more modern techniques and water clarification devices to make the plant more efficient. That also helps in the expansion process. Known as the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Project, crews will expand the
capacity of the wastewater treatment plant located at 920 Boise Ave. The work will be done in partnership with general contractor Garney Construction based in Kansas City, Mo. Loveland Water and Power is in charge of the project and work is expected to be completed in September 2019. The project is currently on time and at budget. Funding for the project is through Wastewater Enterprise Bonds. Major components of the project include a larger filter building, a chemical storage buildsee EXPANSION page 50
