Council approves WWTF change order and pay application as new plant nears completion
Summary
Council approved Change Order #4 and Pay Application #9 for the wastewater treatment facility, and heard a STRAND update that the new plant will hold 3.5 million gallons daily; project-related dollar amounts were not specified in the minutes.
The Winterset City Council on April 20 approved Change Order #4 and Pay Application #9 for the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) project and heard construction progress updates from STRAND representatives.
Taylor Hopper with STRAND told the council the new WWTF will have a capacity of 3.5 million gallons daily and that current work includes concrete pouring, preparation for a blower building, and ongoing piping work. Council members discussed a change order related to new pumps; the minutes do not specify the dollar amount for the change order.
Wastewater Superintendent Nic Smith reported recent operational issues at the existing plant, including infiltration and a temporary bypass during a heavy rain event, noting that clarifier operations are now restored. The council voted unanimously to approve Change Order #4 (motion by Council Member Eller, second by Council Member Cook) and to approve Pay Application #9 (motion by Council Member Orr, second by Council Member Fairholm).
The minutes record the approvals but do not list the specific financial amounts for the change order or pay application. The council also approved Pay Application #3 for the 2025 Street Project in the same meeting. Council oversight will continue as the plant construction progresses.
