New water superintendent lays out schedule for treatment-plant replacement
Summary
Erica, the new superintendent of the water department, presented a schedule for the replacement project: design-basis report due end of October, 60% design January 2027, 90% design end of March, bids late March/April, construction June 2027–October 2028; staff also described recent operational moves and a temporary office trailer near the plant.
Erica, the newly appointed superintendent for the water department, presented a multi-stage schedule for the replacement of the water-treatment facility and outlined near-term pilot testing and design milestones.
"I'm Erica. I'm the new superintendent for the, water department," Erica said, then walked through key dates: a design-basis report due at the end of October, 60% design in January 2027, 90% design at the end of March, bid set at the end of March and a bid opening at the end of April, with construction hoped to start in June 2027 and finish in October 2028. She also said a test well and pilot-plant work are scheduled this month to inform filter design and chemical treatment.
Why it matters: the schedule establishes procurement and construction milestones for a multi-year capital project that will affect water operations. Staff also noted steps to improve field oversight by placing a temporary office trailer at the treatment plant for closer operational monitoring. Next steps: continue pilot testing, finalize design milestones with the consultant and prepare bid documents.
