Waupun Plant Receives Grant Funding To Improve Water Systems

(Waupun) A plant in Waupun is receiving money from the state to make several key improvements to its facility. Governor Tony Evers and the State Building Commission recently approved a total of $71-million-dollars in projects across Wisconsin. The money will help address the back log of deferred maintenance and provide funding to begin the preliminary design of several important construction projects within state-owned facilities.

Waupun Central Generating Plant will be getting part of the $71-million to construct water system improvements. The plant provides water and other utility services for Waupun Correctional Institution, Dodge Correctional, John C. Burke Correctional Center, and the Waupun Dairy.

Evers says the approved projects are critical for modernizing the state’s infrastructure and helping make sure its buildings are operating efficiently and safely. The governor adds that he is grateful for the commission’s support for these important projects and looks forward to continuing their work in investing in infrastructure across Wisconsin.
