Delaware County wastewater board approves $198,705.35 in January claims, releases rehab retainage
Summary
The Delaware County Wastewater District approved $198,705.35 in claims for mid-December through January, released retainage for a completed rehab project, and reviewed collections and maintenance issues at its Feb. 4 meeting.
The Delaware County Wastewater District board approved claims totaling $198,705.35 for the period 12/03/2025 through 01/30/2026 and reviewed account balances and year-end items at its Feb. 4 meeting.
Speaker 5 reported the claims total and the district’s account balances, saying the cash operating balance was approximately $420,000 and the improvement fund balance was $2,499,492.92. Speaker 5 moved to approve the January claims; the motion was seconded and carried on roll call.
The board voted to release retainage for a completed rehabilitation project and discussed when the warranty period began. A board member asked whether the warranty period started at substantial completion; staff confirmed the warranty start at substantial completion and the board proceeded with release of the retainage.
Staff also updated the board on collections and maintenance. Collections rose to $2,058.44 from $278.05 a month earlier after field letters were delivered; a surplus plow sold at auction for $2,025. Staff noted a variable-frequency-drive fault on station 1 during cold weather that was addressed by the contractor’s heater installation.
The board took the actions as part of routine fiscal oversight; no further funding allocations or budget amendments were proposed at the meeting.
