Distribution & Treatment
Water distribution and treatment has been a part of the Chanute’s history since 1894. In 2012, a valve dated 1922, was found during a leak repair. That valve is still working and in use. The current treatment plant was put online in 1951, and updated in 1970. A previous plant can be seen off of Highway 39 at the East River Bridge.
