KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The debate over a new Todd Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant will continue for a little longer.
The Kansas City Transportation, Infrastructure and Operations Committee was originally set to vote on purchasing land from Hunt Midwest for a new plant in unincorporated Platte County.
But after resident pushback, KC Water will now explore a second site — with the possibility it could still go back to its original plan.
Residents said they’ve dealt with the smell of the KC Water treatment plant, located just across Kansas City limits on 144th Street, for generations — but at least they didn’t have to see it.
