Details: Meeting to Discuss City of Newberg’s Uncovered Filters and Basins on 11/27/21

Issue: The uncovered basins and filters pose a risk for treated water to become contaminated and must be addressed. The City of Newberg developed a corrective action plan and informed DWS staff they had opted to cover the basins. The proposed date for construction plan submission has passed.

Meeting Summary: City of Newberg/Murraysmith provided an update on the status of proposed improvements and solutions and outlined site constraints and market conditions (availability/cost of potential cover strategies and materials). The City mentioned future plans for a new pressure filtration plant and the usage of interim filter and basin protective cover techniques. There was a discussion around the compliance deadline. DWS staff suggested proposing a new plan with rationales laid out and a new reasonable timeline in writing. At this time the system thinks it could be up to 6 years for completion but will aim to have a plan with a new schedule/timeline submitted for review by the end of 2021.
