Tuscarawas County signs off on $3.4 million Wilkshire Hills wastewater upgrade; minor work remains
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved a Certificate of Substantial Completion for the Wilkshire Hills WWTP Upgrade Phase 2, a $3.4 million project, while the sanitary engineer said a small portion of work remains to be finished later this year. Vote was 2–0 with one commissioner absent.
The Board of Commissioners of Tuscarawas County on April 15 approved a Certificate of Substantial Completion for the Wilkshire Hills Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Phase 2.
Michael Jones, Tuscarawas County sanitary engineer, said the work represents a $3.4 million project and that "there is still a small part of the project to be finished later this year." The motion to approve the certificate was moved by Commissioner Mitch Pace and seconded by Commissioner Kristin Zemis; the vote was Zemis yes, Pace yes, Greg Ress absent.
The certificate signals that the main construction contract has reached substantial completion, though Jones indicated residual items remain to be finished this year. The board did not specify remaining costs or a completion schedule in the meeting record.
The action preserves the county's official acceptance step for the Phase 2 contract and allows follow-up work and final closeout procedures to proceed. No additional funding authorizations were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board moved on to other agenda items after the vote; the county did not announce a date for final completion in the meeting transcript.
