Construction of the $7.5 million plant began in October 2009. Workers had razed the existing site and built a new building, conducted maintenance on two existing wells that it had, installed three filters, pressure vessels, a new electrical system, new chemical treatment systems, an emergency power generator, automatic filter controls, and a new Supervisory Control and Automated Data Acquisition (SCADA).
