The large broken pipe that caused the Metropolitan Utilities District to ask customers to voluntarily cut back on outside water use is at what the District President calls the "flagship" water treatment plant.
"Normally, full capacity, we could produce 150-million gallons a day; we are producing 40-million gallons a day until we get this full repair done," MUD President Mark Doyle told Gary Sadlemyer on Newsradio 1110 KFAB.
Doyle says the Florence Treatment plant along the Missouri River near the Mormon Bridge is the oldest and largest of the utility's three plants.
