Last year, when Business View Magazine first spoke
to Fisher, Belton had embarked upon two major water
and wastewater projects: An $11 million water project
that includes a three-million gallon elevated tank, a
key waterline, and wholesale improvements to an ex-
isting pump station; and a $12 million project to make
significant improvements to the city’s wastewater
treatment plant.
Recently, Fisher reported on the progress of those ini-
tiatives: “Three of the four contracts are complete,”
he said. “We have a new three-million gallon elevated
tank; we have a large interceptor constructed; and
now we’re working on one of our key pump stations.
