In a recent government meeting, significant updates were provided regarding ongoing construction and environmental management projects. The construction team reported that by the end of March, they expect to energize the site and secure a certificate of occupancy. Key milestones include the demolition of the existing field tank starting December 31, with substantial completion anticipated by March 31.

The team is closely monitoring the master schedule, with critical activities planned for December, including the arrival of a new canopy structure on December 9 and the commencement of canal demolition on December 2. Coordination with the Buckeye Water Conservation District is crucial, as the dry-out period begins on November 27, allowing for subsequent demolition work.

Additionally, the team is working with Arizona Public Service (APS) to ensure all necessary permits are secured for the installation of service lines. Approval from APS is expected within a week, which will enable trenching to begin.

Concerns were raised regarding a leaking existing storage tank, with plans to bring in environmental specialists to assess soil contamination once the tank is removed. A $60,000 grant from the county has been secured to assist with potential remediation efforts.

Board members expressed appreciation for the construction team's efforts, highlighting the importance of maintaining safety and minimizing disruptions to the nearby school during the construction process. The meeting concluded with a positive outlook on the project's progress and a commitment to ongoing communication and coordination among all parties involved.
