Cayce to host state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant groundbreaking on Friday

Cayce will hold a groundbreaking ceremony to launch construction of the City of Cayce Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility on December 4, 2009.  The ceremony, which will begin at 10:00 a.m., will be held at the site of the new facility at 539 Old State Road in Cayce.

Many years in the planning, the 25 million-gallon-per-day facility, which will be funded by the City of Cayce, the Town of Lexington, and the Joint Municipal Water and Sewer Commission, is slated to begin operation in early 2012.  This state-of-the-art facility will improve water quality in the region by employing more stringent treatment processes and by facilitating the elimination of existing, smaller treatment plants in the area.

In addition, the new treatment plant will also provide long-term economic benefits to Lexington County by ensuring the continued availability of wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate the future growth needs of the county.
