Galva City Council rejects water treatment demolition

In a special meeting Thursday, the Galva City Council rejected a plan to demolish the current wastewater plant.

Galva Mayor Gary Wanberg presided over the meeting, with council members Gaylen Freese, Lanny Hustedt and Ryan Wuebker in attendance. The demolition was the proposed Phase 4 of the Wastewater Improvement Project, which would have cost $95,000 to complete. The motion to reject the demolition passed unanimously.

“The plant was working fine,” Mayor Wanberg said, “there was no reason to tear it down.”
