Exciting developments are on the horizon for Needles City, as officials announced a groundbreaking ceremony for the new water treatment plant scheduled for May 24. This project marks a significant step forward in enhancing the city’s water infrastructure, with the capacity to meet all of the city's water needs.

During the recent Planning Commission meeting, city representatives highlighted the successful decommissioning of Well 15, thanks to the readiness of Well 11. With both wells now operational, the city can draw up to 2,200 gallons per minute, a crucial improvement after two years of challenges in water supply.

In addition to the water treatment advancements, the city is also making strides in park improvements, with $7.5 million allocated for various upgrades. Notable progress includes the installation of new playground equipment and the completion of field lights at the middle school’s second field.

These initiatives not only promise to enhance the quality of life for residents but also demonstrate the city’s commitment to investing in essential infrastructure and community facilities. As the groundbreaking approaches, anticipation builds for the positive impact these projects will have on Needles City.
