Water and
Sewer Overview
The Morrison
Wastewater Treatment Collection system (the original sewers were
constructed in 1902) consists of 17.7 miles of sewer ranging from 6” –
24” and six lift stations. The Wastewater Plant was built in 1939 and is
a Secondary Trickling Filter Process with chlorine disinfection and
de-chlorination. The Plant was designed for an average capacity of
941,000.00 thousand gallons per day and a maximum capacity of 2.586
million gallons per day (MGD). The Plant produces 50 dry tons of
sludge per year, which is applied twice a year to local agricultural
land. Currently the Treatment Plant daily flows are far below the
maximum capacity, which means there is a lot of room for Morrison to
grow.
City of Morrison supplies the community by ground water pumped from
two wells at a depth of 1,600 to 1,700 feet. Well # 3 pumping capacity
is 1,000 gallons per minute and is located at Water Works Park. Well # 4
pumping capacity is also 1,000 gallons per minute and is located on the
north end of town at Kelly Park. A 500,000-gallon Water Tower is also
located at Kelly Park.
