OC Legislature's Sewer District No. 1 Advisory Committee 6/16/26 @ 2 pm

The Orange County Sewer District No. 1 Advisory Committee held a meeting on June 16, 2026, to review the ongoing wastewater treatment plant upgrade project. Representatives from Delaware Engineering presented detailed updates on the design, which is about 90% complete, including site plans and unit processes such as headworks, sequencing batch reactors, filtration, and odor control systems. The project aims to modernize the plant to meet new state phosphorus discharge regulations, improve capacity, and enhance odor management. The committee discussed technical aspects, chemical usage, and operational continuity during construction. The project is planned to be bid in early 2027, with a lengthy construction timeline due to the need to keep the plant operational throughout. The meeting also covered procurement-related topics such as contractor outreach, bid process expectations, and oversight during construction to ensure compliance with project requirements.
