Construction of Blooming Prairie's wastewater treatment improvements began in May, 1989 and was completed in March, 1991. The total construction cost was $3,757,000 of which 80% was funded by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The project included both renovation of the existing plant and new construction. New construction included a new submersible pumping station, primary clarifier, sequencing batch reactor treatment facility, chlorination facilities, aerobic sludge digester, two sludge storage tanks, administration building, and a garage.
Renovation of the existing plant included new raw wastewater pumps, a standby power generation system, a belt sludge thickener, air compressors, and electrical control panels. A sludge application vehicle was purchased for injection of treated sludge to nearby farmland.
