Attorney: DEQ "not happy" with unfinished Bristow wastewater plant; payment deadline extended to July
Summary
City attorney told the Bristow Municipal Authority that the Department of Environmental Quality raised concerns because the wastewater treatment plant is not finished; supply-chain delays for SBR equipment were cited and DEQ approved an extension of the final-payment deadline to July.
Attorney Beth Anne Childs told the Bristow Municipal Authority on April 21 that the Department of Environmental Quality had raised concerns about the wastewater treatment plant because work remains incomplete.
"DEQ was not happy with us because the WWTP has not been finished," Childs said, and she attributed part of the delay to supply-chain issues for sequencing batch reactor (SBR) equipment. Childs told the authority that DEQ has approved an extension of the deadline for the final payment to July.
The update was presented as part of the authority's regular agenda; trustees did not record a motion tied to the update itself. The attorney's remarks indicate a schedule relief from DEQ but also a pending completion risk tied to equipment delivery. No new dollar amounts or revised completion dates beyond the July payment-extension were provided in the transcript.
