Mansfield Officially Opens Albertini Water Treatment Plant on West St.

Two years ago, Mansfield broke ground for the Albertini Water Treatment Facility, and has now officially finished the project.

Town manager William Ross said the plant, along with the Cate Springs and Walsh Plants, were designed to improve the water quality and remove any unwanted minerals/toxins from the system.

“We wanted to reduce any of the manganese and improve water quality,” Ross said. “It’s a good well field for the town, I think 20 to 30 percent of our capacity is in this wellfield and so we need it to improve the water quality coming out of here and ensure the chlorination was right.”

Ross added the well will provide this service to the town for the next 20 to 30 years.

“Overall this will maintain a continuous supply of high quality drinking water for the community,” he said.

The land was originally obtained for the town from the Albertini family, and named for them.
