Fall 2024 Project Update
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services is suspending current plans to relocate the current Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) out of downtown Hastings. The Met Council is committed to providing wastewater services to meet the needs of the community long-term, which will result in decommissioning the current facility and relocating where wastewater is treated.
The existing plant site presents challenges to major renewal, land use compatibility, and expansion of the plant to respond to growth and changes in regulatory requirements. We are taking additional time to consider these challenges and evaluate options to best meet needs. Met Council will work closely with the stakeholders in Dakota County as we return to planning the project. No construction is anticipated within the next 5 years
