The new facility, located on 30.8 acres near Pikeview Reservoir, is fully enclosed for maximum odor control. It also features new technology for automation and UV light treatment to kill bacteria. A public open house, including tours, will be held on Saturday, July 14 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. James (J. D.)
