WEIRTON — The Weirton Area Water Board continues to work on projects with an eye toward improvements to the treatment and distribution systems in the city.

During Thursday’s board meeting, Jesse Alden of the Thrasher Group presented an update to the ongoing expansion project at the water treatment plant, which carried a base contract amount of $40,401,643.50 and is under the guidance of Triton Construction.

“Based on the contact amount, we are 64.5 percent complete,” Alden said.

The water plant project had been eyed for a substantial completion of Feb. 27, with a final payment in late March; however, Alden explained recent additions to the project and delays in receiving components have resulted in the deadlines being pushed back to having a substantial completion date of June 20.
