The Sioux City Water Treatment
Plant was built in 1973 and updated in 1994,
with a capacity of pumping 30 million gallons
per day.
The Sioux City Wastewater
Treatment Plant was built in 1961 and upgraded
in 1978. The plant was designed to handle 30
million gallons per day of flow; 92,000 pounds
of total suspended solids (TSS); and 12,000 pounds
of biological oxygen demand (BOD) per day.
The Sioux City landfill was
built in 1978 with a 20 year life expectancy.
The landfill received approval for expansion
which will bring its life expectancy to the year
2005. At that time the city of Sioux City plans
to build a new landfill east of the current landfill
which will have approximately a 30 year life
span. The estimated years are calculated on a
70,000 ton per year loading.
The Sioux City Regional Recycling
Center was completed in November 1994, and is
currently accepting white office paper, newspaper,
corrugated cardboard, and #1 and #2 plastics.
