CLARKSVILLE MOVING FORWARD WITH MISSISSIPPI RIVER WASTEWATER OUTFALL PROJECT

CLARKSVILLE, Mo. — A significant infrastructure project is moving closer to construction in Clarksville, where city officials are seeking contractors for the relocation of the community’s wastewater treatment facility outfall.

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources says Clarksville is accepting sealed bids through October 7 for construction of approximately 3,550 feet of four-inch force main, a new lift station and related work. The project is being financed through Missouri’s State Revolving Fund and federal capitalization grants.

The project has already moved beyond the planning stage. Missouri DNR issued construction permit CP0002459 for the Clarksville Wastewater Treatment Facility Outfall Relocation on June 26. State records show that construction authorization remains effective through December 31, 2027.

The work involves relocating the wastewater facility’s outfall toward the Mississippi River, making the project particularly significant for a community whose downtown and infrastructure sit immediately alongside the river. Contractors interested in the project have until 2 p.m. October 7 to submit bids to Clarksville City Hall, where they are scheduled to be publicly opened and read.

The project is one of only two Clean Water State Revolving Fund construction projects currently listed by Missouri DNR as open for bids statewide. Once a contractor is selected, the project will represent another substantial piece of infrastructure work for the small Pike County, Missouri river community.
