Todd Creek Treatment Plant

Todd Creek Treatment Plant
The Todd Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant — built in 1968 and expanded in 1990 — has exceeded its useful life due to Northland growth, the new KCI passenger terminal, and aging, less efficient treatment technology. KC Water plans to build a new plant in a nearby location to install new treatment technology and increase capacity to accommodate future growth

An alternate location has been selected, and a plan is being developed. The public is invited to join us on June 24 to learn about the new location for the project to replace the Todd Creek Wastewater Treatment plant. Details below:

Presentations

KC Water staff will be introducing Ordinances 251043 and 251044 to the Kansas City council Thursday, Feb 13th for a first reading and then presenting the two ordinances to the City Council’s Transportation, Infrastructure, and Operations Committee on February 25th at 9am. You can find the agenda for the meeting here. If you cannot attend in person, you will be able to watch the meeting virtually via Zoom or the city’s YouTube channel.

The two ordinances would allow KC Water to purchase the land and mineral rights of the “southern” location option that is completely within Kansas City Missouri and then amend the current design contract for the project for the new location.
