South Canadian improvements 65% complete; Trust aims to energize electrical loop next
Summary
Trust staff reported the South Canadian Improvements Project is roughly two-thirds complete by work and finance, with substantial completion targeted next February and final completion in February 2027.
At the June 3 Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust meeting, project staff provided a quarterly update on the South Canadian Improvements Project, the Trust’s largest current wastewater treatment-plant modernization effort.
Joy Cote, the project presenter identified in the record, said STV (formerly CPMY) is the project engineer and Crossland Heavy Contractors is the prime contractor. Cote said the project’s construction cost after the latest change order is just over $190,000,000, with payments of about $131,000,000 to date. She reported the project is roughly 69% complete on finances and about 65% complete overall by project progress.
Cote described recent work inside plant structures, ongoing conduit and panel installation, electrical controls, HVAC, auger-cast piles at aeration basins, installation of backwash pumps at the filter basin, disinfection equipment installation, piping and trusses at the recycled-sludge pump station for biosolids, and exterior brick veneer on the re-aeration building. She said the project’s near-term priority is energizing the new electrical loop, and that the Administration Building is expected to be ready for beneficial occupancy in September.
Cote also described specific process components: cloth-disc filters (polyester nanofiber media set in hexagonal banks) for the filter complex, chlorine contact basins and a sodium-hypochlorite generation system, and a digester-thickening building for biosolids processing. She noted ongoing water testing and leak repairs at aeration basins and that the team is finishing clarifier mechanisms and ancillary components. Drone and photographic updates accompanied the report.
Cote stated contract milestones as: - Substantial completion ("everything but demo"): February of next year; and - Final completion: February 2027.
Board members asked procedural clarifying questions; no formal action or votes were required on the update. Cote closed the presentation and invited questions before the meeting moved to the next agenda item.
