It is the upgrade to the Waste Treatment System 0$<25 7(' located on '(1721 Monticello Road. This is where the waste from the city is received, processed and disposed of. The department head of the Waste Treatment Plant is Marcus Halterman.

Next, the financial backing was obtained by negotiating with the State Revolving Fund Loans Department, which loans monies to cities for worthy projects. We were successful in negotiating a 1.5% twenty-year loan for $7.5 million dollars to fund the project. We negotiated the loan down from 3% (the going rate at the time) to the 1.5%, saving millions. After the contract was bid and awarded to Crosby Construction, the project was divided into nine pieces with very specific items in each group needed to complete the total upgrade. These pieces were numbered one through nine and placed on a Gannt chart. A Gannt chart is a working document that allows all involved to see the progress of each task laid out on a
