Treating Our Waste

The Tomahawk Creek Wastewater Treatment in Leawood is being rebuilt to the tune of $350 million. The original plant, built in 1955, was too small for the demands of Johnson County property owners. Begun last fall, it's expected to be completed in 2021. It's adjacent to Leawood City Park and even required the installation of a traffic light on Mission Rd. to handle the number of workers coming in and out of the project. It is a massive project but has tight security so the best I could do was this, shot through the fence.
