Water Treatment Plant Construction

The City and Borough of Wrangell is pleased to announce that the construction of the new Water Treatment Plant is set to begin soon.  Contractors are set to begin mobilizing into town on November 11, 2023, with plans to break ground on November 14, 2023.  Construction of the new plant is expected to take just over 1 year. 

We are asking that the public be aware of the increase in truck and heavy equipment traffic on Wood Street. 

The Water Treatment Plant is located up the hill on Wood Street, past the turn off from the SEARHC Hospital. This area of town is expected to see the biggest increase in traffic. 

If you are traveling on Wood Street, please be mindful and use caution, especially with winter road conditions right around the corner.  If you are leaving the Hospital, obey the traffic signs and look both ways before proceeding down Wood Street towards Zimovia Highway. 

Feel free to reach out to the Public Works Department at (907) 874-3904 with any questions or concerns.
