Municipal Building Authority: Water treatment plant nearing start of operations, staff says
Summary
A progress update reported that concrete pads for the new water treatment plant are scheduled next week, electrical and HVAC work should finish next week, and staff hopes to begin operations in December to complete disinfection, sampling and state permitting, with full operation expected by early next year.
Speaker 3, role not specified, told the Daggett County Municipal Building Authority (MBA) that the water treatment plant "is moving forward, steadily," and described a near-term schedule for remaining construction and startup work. "Outdoor concrete pads [are] poured next week, weather permitting," Speaker 3 said, adding that electrical and HVAC work "is supposed to be finished up next week."
The presenter said staff remains "hopeful" to begin operations in December to run disinfection and process water for sampling required for a state operating permit, with the goal that the plant will be "officially running" by the first of the year. "So fingers crossed," Speaker 3 added.
Why it matters: a local water treatment plant affects when treated water can be produced locally and when state sampling and permitting obligations can be met. The report supplied a near-term timeline but did not include a specific startup date beyond the month of December or detail about permit submittal dates.
What was said and next steps: staff identified concrete, electrical and HVAC completion as the immediate tasks and framed December as the tentative month to begin disinfection and sampling for the state permit process. The MBA did not record additional technical specifications or permit application milestones during the update. The authority did not take a formal vote on the plant at this meeting; staff will continue construction oversight and return with any formal action as needed.
