The Platte City Board of Aldermen Tuesday night voted to dismantle the old city water plant, which hasn’t been used since Platte City hooked up to the Kansas City water system. According to the agreement with Kansas City, the water plant had to be cut off from the Platte City water system when Platte City started receiving water from Kansas City.
