The College Lake water treatment plant is not yet in regular production and is being operated for testing while polymer issues are investigated. The active flow system is experiencing problems with the polymer used in the treatment process, and the engineer of record (Carollo) is currently conducting bench testing on alternative polymer products. The board approved a third amendment to the Tanner Pacific construction management contract for up to $390,512 to continue supporting construction management/inspection services, claims assistance, and potential arbitration related to the project's ongoing issues. A public commenter expressed frustration that the project has repeatedly missed deadlines and continues to cost ratepayers money; Tanner Pacific clarified they are the construction management firm—not the engineer of record—and are working with PV Water's legal counsel to resolve contractor and design performance issues.
