Construction crews have begun the demolition of the former Marysville water treatment plant on North Main Street. While the right side of the building and tanks will be torn down, the left side of the structure will remain standing as part of Connect Real Estate's Water and Light redevelopment project.

Why it matters

The demolition of the former water treatment plant is a key step in the redevelopment of the site, which aims to transform the area into a mixed-use development. The preservation of part of the existing structure also reflects the project's goal of incorporating the site's industrial history into the new design.

The details

The demolition work began on Thursday, with crews focused on taking down the right side of the building and the associated tanks. However, the left side of the structure will be kept intact as part of the planned Water and Light project, which will redevelop the site into a mixed-use development.

• The demolition work began on Thursday, March 20, 2026.

What’s next

The next steps in the project will involve finalizing the redevelopment plans and securing the necessary approvals to move forward with the construction of the new mixed-use development on the site.
