Project Summary

The Locke Park Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Addition Project will include the construction of a building addition, installation of GAC vessels, and associated mechanical and electrical components. The project will allow the City of Fridley to maintain a resilient, quality water supply now and in the future, and enable the return to use of the City's Well 10 that has been impacted by PFAS and shut down since 2016. Construction is planned to begin in June 2025 with final completion in early 2027.
