Three million dollar investment on sewer filters for Joplin

The city of Joplin is spending three million dollars for the installation of waste water filters in the sewer system.

Joplin Mayor Keenan Cortez tells Newstalk KZRG why the investment:

“It’s just like changing a filter into anything else, you gotta keep it changed ever so often.  So this is one of those instances where we are making sure that we’re staying on top of the maintenance, that we’re keeping everything updated as it needs to be so that everything works as it should.”
