(KMZA)--The city of Seneca is moving forward with plans for the construction of a new water treatment plant.

The Seneca City Council, when they met last week, voted to enter into a contract with Midwest Engineering Group to begin the design process for the new plant.

The action is contingent on the acceptance of the contract by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

City Administrator Steve Brooks said the design process should take about a year.

Brooks also provided an update on the proposed new electric substation/generation project. He said he expects to have some bid sheets next month for the transformers and larger components of the substation. Brooks said the 3 generators for the project are currently in storage and will not arrive until the substation is built.

He also provided an update on the Skoch Park memorial project. Brooks said Recreation Director Jordan Weaver has put out a request for proposals for the concrete work, which are due October 9th. In addition, he said the flagpole assembly and benches have been ordered.
