Owens Cross Roads says new wastewater plant is operating; funding reported covered by grant and forgiveness loan
Summary
Council received a staff update that the new wastewater treatment plant is essentially complete and operating; operators are setting up bacteriological processes, demolition of the old plant is planned, and staff said funding is expected to be covered by a grant and a 100% forgiveness loan if work completes before the June deadline.
City staff reported that construction of Owens Cross Roads' new wastewater treatment plant is essentially complete and the facility is operating while operators establish bacteriological treatment processes.
The update said the construction contractor has demobilized and will return to finish demolition of the existing plant once notified; staff expect full demolition to begin in mid-March and for flow to be shifted to the new plant, after which the old plant will be torn down and the site restored to prior grades.
According to the update, the project is on track with funding: staff said the work is expected to be covered by a grant and a 100% forgiveness loan. The meeting record states that all work must be complete before June to remain eligible for the loan/grant funding.
The council did not take formal action on the wastewater item at this meeting; the update was provided as part of routine project reporting and the council proceeded to other business.
