At Esterhazy's town council meeting on June 14, Jon Zapski, the engineer on site for the town’s Water Treatment Plant upgrade, informed council about Phase 2 of the project almost being completed, and discussed the next steps for the project. Phase 2 of the system included building the structure of the water treatment plant building. Council passed a motion to approve construction for Phase 3 of the water treatment plant which will include installing the floor inside the building. After the flooring is done, all of the mechanics for the water system itself will be put in place. “In regards to where the project is moving from here, obviously contract three is going to be out now, but we’re working feverishly on the finalization of the process of equipment selection, and into the process of mechanical tendering and final design drawings. This will be one of the largest contracts for this project and obviously the heart of the entire operation in itself,” Zapski told council members.
