The Village of Bethalto, Illinois hired Korte & Luitjohan Contractors, Inc. to make improvements to their water treatment plant.  The plant, which was constructed in 1954 and later expanded in 1974, required extensive improvements to modernize and increase treatment capacities to 4 Million Gallons per Day (MGD).

Improvements included adding four new filters, three new water softeners, 0.25 Million Gallon reaction basin, 0.5 Million Gallon clear well, new low service and high service pumps, and SCADA system controls.
