The Winterset City Council on Jan. 19 approved Pay Application #6 for the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) project and heard a construction update from project staff.
The payment authorization was moved by Council Member Michael Eller and seconded by Council Member Christopher Fairholm; the roll-call vote was unanimous. The transcript does not specify the dollar amount for Pay Application #6.
In reports earlier in the meeting, Wastewater Superintendent Nic Smith described operational items including a planned sump pump inspection program, broken clarifiers with alternate treatment options, needed pump repairs at the Eaton Lift Station, and recent sludge removal. Smith also noted construction progress with Woodruff Construction having placed 800 cubic yards of concrete.
Taylor Hopper, project manager for the STRAND‑led WWTF project, told the council that concrete work is expected to continue through June 2026 and that material testing reports have indicated strengths greater than required. The council approved the payment application consistent with ongoing construction progress.
