Daggett County reports construction tweaks at Dutch John water treatment plant
Summary
Officials said GAC tanks arrived oversized, prompting engineers and contractors to increase concrete footer sizes; work is being handled as a construction change and will return to the commission only if it affects the budget.
Daggett County Municipal Building Authority officials reported on July 29 that the Dutch John water treatment plant project is advancing but required on‑site construction changes after new granular activated carbon (GAC) tanks arrived.
Speaker 3 said contractors “decided they needed to do some changes on the footers that hold those tanks within the floor system” after seeing the tanks’ size. Engineers recommended increasing the size of the concrete blocks beneath the tanks, and the contractor is treating that as a construction change rather than a formal change order.
According to Speaker 3, the modification is expected to fit within the current project budget; if it does not, the change will be brought back to the commission for formal approval. Speaker 1 and others noted work remains on schedule and that the project team is coordinating the sequence of work with contractors and engineers.
The report did not include dollar estimates for the footer changes or a revised completion date. The board did not take a formal vote on the construction change during the meeting; Speaker 3 described this as a heads‑up to the authority that the team expects to manage the modification within budget.
