Blue Springs to vote on money for sewer improvements in April 7 election
Blue Springs residents are voting in the Tuesday, April 7, election on whether the city should use $65 million in combined water and sewer system revenue bonds to fund federally mandated improvements to the Sni-A-Bar Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is also shared with Grain Valley.
The plant was built in 1988 and is located at 4600 S. Seymour Road in Grain Valley. The ballot issue comes after Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe vetoed parts of a bill in June that included $12 million in funds for improvements to the joint-owned wastewater treatment facility.
The city of Blue Springs says these improvements are required to bring the plant into compliance with new environmental standards by 2030, which were set by state and federal regulators.
