Vicksburg to accept award Thursday for Water Treatment Plant of the Year

The American Water Works Association will present the City of Vicksburg with the 2020 Water Treatment Plant of the Year Award Thursday, Oct. 22, at the Vicksburg Water Plant (601 Haining Road) at 10 a.m.

This is the city’s second consecutive year to win this award, which cites overall water quality, plant improvements, energy efficiency and regulatory conformance as criteria for the selection.

“Having the best water treatment plant in the State of Mississippi for two years in a row is just one more reason why people should move to Vicksburg,” said Mayor George Flaggs Jr. in a statement last week when he announced the award.
