Wellhead Treatment Plant

The Wellhead Water Treatment Plant is designed to improve the water quality in the northeast area of Dayton. The treatment will remove Iron and Manganese from the water which can cause odor and discoloration. Staff will also be able to decrease the amount of Chlorine required to disinfect the water. Work is progressing on the well head water treatment plant on a revised timeline after a long pause while the City completed various requirements for accessing the $4,000,000 Federal funding for the project. The new timeline has a completion date of January 2026.

Both pressure vessels are installed in the building (each vessel weighs 80,000 pounds), block walls and roofing are in place. Brick fascia will be installed in the coming weeks, plumbing will begin in June and will last through December. Electrical is another long timeline lasting from June until completion in January 2026. There is a detailed timeline available below. If you have questions about the project contact Martin Farrell, Public Works Director at mfarrell@daytonmn.gov
