Peter Gallegos from the City of Madera Wastewater Treatment Plant talks about upgrades currently in progress at the facility.
Construction is underway on a $10.3 million upgrade to Madera’s Wastewater Treatment Plant, a project described as one of the most significant public works investments in recent years.
The plant, located on Avenue 13 and Road 211/2, treats millions of gallons of wastewater each day and serves every home and business in the city. City leaders say the project is essential to maintaining reliable service, improving environmental performance, and preparing for future growth.
At a Dec. 4, 2024, meeting, the Madera City Council awarded an $8.7 million construction contract to Gateway Pacific Contractors, Inc. Work began earlier this year, and is expected to continue into 2026.
