An expansion to the Ashland wastewater facility is officially on the clock. A groundbreaking ceremony was held yesterday (Monday) morning in Ashland to kickoff the project.

The expansion could take 12-18 months, but will boost the facility’s capacity from 600,000 gallons per day to 1.6 million gallons per day, and could treat up to 2.6 million gallons per day, if the facility is built to full capacity.
