CH2M Hill said this week it needs nine additional months to complete the design of the town's wastewater treatment plant expansion.
The firm also said it's going to need more money.
.......More specifically, CH2M Hill stated that the delay is due to the state setting limits on phosphorous discharges into Lake Norman. Now, said Wimberly, the design plans that CH2M Hill has developed the past year will have to be "tweaked" to accommodate the changes.
Osborne said CH2M Hill wasn't aware of the potential phosphorous limits until a meeting that the firm and town had with the state in April.
..... CH2M Hill's local experience has been a point of contention since October 2004, when the town's engineering and utilities departments unanimously recommended Black & Veatch to negotiate the scope and fee of Mooresville's treatment plant expansion.
