🚧 Join Us for a Major Milestone! 🎉 This Friday, September 19 at 12:00 PM, the City of Newcastle will host a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for our brand-new Wastewater Treatment Plant at 1200 NE 16th Street. This $52 million facility is one of the largest infrastructure projects in our history. It replaces an aging system, improves water quality, and gives us the capacity to meet future growth—responsibly and sustainably.

Come tour the facility, hear from local leaders, and help us celebrate a major investment in Newcastle’s future. 📅 Mark your calendars—we’d love to see you there!
