Missouri American Water was asked by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) and the Missouri Attorney General’s office to work with the association, connecting the Lake Tamarack wastewater system to the company’s nearby Cedar Hill system, following which the acquisition took place.
Missouri American Water has installed a new lift station and a wastewater pipeline connecting the Lake Tamarack customers to the company’s Sand Creek wastewater treatment plant in Cedar Hill.
The acquisition will lead to the closure of the wastewater lagoon that previously served Lake Tamarack customers.
Frank Kartmann, president of Missouri American Water, said: “The acquisition of this system gives Lake Tamarack customers access to full-time wastewater professionals and our convenient customer service center that is available 24/7.
“Connecting these customers to our Cedar Hill plant will help improve the local water environment.”
