HALLSVILLE, Mo. (KMIZ)

Missouri American Water has acquired the Hallsville wastewater system, which serves approximately 700 customers in Boone County.  

“We are honored to provide safe, reliable wastewater service to our new customers in Hallsville,” said Rich Svindland, president of Missouri American Water, in a release. “The approval by the Missouri Public Service Commission allows residents to benefit from our company’s experience and expertise in operating wastewater systems efficiently.”  

More than 68 percent of voters in Hallsville supported the ballot measure in November 2019 to make Missouri American Water their wastewater provider. 

“We examined a lot of options and Missouri American Water was the best partner for our city.  Our citizens overwhelmingly voted for this two years ago and we’re glad to finally see it come to fruition,” said Mayor Logan Carter of Hallsville in a release. 

Missouri American Water has committed to invest approximately $3.3 million in the city’s wastewater system over the next five years to improve service.
