Oshkosh breaks ground on improvements to water filtration plant, Wednesday May 6, 2026. PC: Fox 11 Online
OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Clean, safe and reliable drinking water is the goal behind a water filtration project in Oshkosh.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held Wednesday afternoon to replace the city’s aging clearwells, which are buried tanks used to store treated drinking water.
The project comes following a routine survey by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources conducted in 2007.
The tanks, which are over 100 years old, don’t meet today’s safe drinking water regulations.
The project includes the construction of two 1-millon gallon reservoirs to store drinking water and two 16-million gallon per-day pump stations at the Water Filtration Plant.
Leaders say this project is also an investment in Oshkosh’s future.
In speaking on about the project, Oshkosh City Manager Rebecca Grill says it will allow the city to continue to meet the needs of residents and businesses for years to come.
