The renovation of Coffeyville's Water Treatment Plant has begun. It has a total of 6 filter beds, but the subfloor of No. 2 blew out several years ago leaving it inoperable. While the existing five beds have been adequate for the city's water demand, customer demand has increased in recent years, so the city says it's now necessary to have all six beds working to treat water.

BRB Contractors is the project contractor. They are removing all the filter material with 5-gallon buckets, a rope, and a pulley, because they're not able to fit any equipment in the bed. Soon all six city water filters will be up and running.
