Box 1115 La Porte, TX 77571 ATTN: Mr. Jack Owen City Manager. STATUS OF THE MAIN LA PORTE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT As of this writing the new plant ~s treating all of the city's waste water. The Fairmont Park plant influent was diverted about 3 weeks ago and the old main plant flow was added last week. The average daily flow is running about 1.8 million gallons per day. The quality of the plant effluent has been meeting the permit standards until last week when the solids in the eff luent has exceeded the permissible amount. This condition occurred because of some problems with the sludge transf er system. The problem was cleared last • Thursday and the plant should be running normally in a few days. Regarding the completion of the plant, we have been working with the Contractor on a lengthy punch list. While the Contractor has been willing, his actual performance has fallen off considerably in the past month. We are meeting with him this week to urge some concentrated effort and get the punch list ~.tems cleared. The only mayor item left for work is the belt press and its peripheral equipment. It is to be .made ready next week at which time the plant should have produced enough sludge to operate the system for a trial run. Most other items are minor and do not affect the operation of the plant. for your information the current punch list is attached. Two items included lit the. electrical list are Change Order No. 5 pieces of equipment which have not yet Been 3:nstalled . If we are successful in getting the Contractor to put forth some effort the plant should ~e ready for acceptance t,!ithin 3 weeks. me tc son, ^ . a~~z/3m Attachment •
