Buena Vista board accepts completion of water treatment plant expansion
Summary
Trustees unanimously adopted Resolution 48 accepting construction completion of the two‑phase water treatment plant expansion, putting the project in warranty. Funding sources cited include DOLA, SRF and Colorado Water Conservation Board grants; staff said operations are running and major objectives were met.
Trustees voted to adopt Resolution 48 on July 14, accepting the completed water treatment plant expansion and the infiltration gallery project. Sean (S7), who presented the item, said both construction phases are complete, the plant is operational and both projects are now in their warranty periods.
Why it matters: staff said the upgrades increase the town’s water treatment capacity and resilience, and funding was layered from multiple sources including the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs and Colorado Water Conservation Board grants. The board’s acceptance begins the formal warranty and closeout process and enables final reporting tied to grant and loan forgiveness terms.
Key points
- Project scope and contractors: The water treatment plant expansion and infiltration gallery work were performed by Rice Lake West and JHL Constructors with engineering and owner‑representation from Swiftwater and JBA.
- Funding: Multiple grants and SRF funding were referenced; staff noted loan forgiveness mechanisms and grant awards used across the two phases.
- Warranty and reporting: Both phases are in warranty and staff will finalize reporting and a press release pending district attorney sign‑off on prosecutorial details related to an unrelated criminal case mentioned in the presentation.
Outcome: A trustee moved to adopt Resolution 48 and the motion passed by voice vote. The board thanked staff and contractors for completing the multi‑year project.
