OBSD 2023 Wastewater Facility Plan Approved!
January 11, 2024
In mid-December, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) formally approved the OBSD 2023 Wastewater Facility Plan. This has been a lengthy process which was originally submitted to the DEQ in March of 2023. Several comments were received and addressed after a 90-day review period by the DEQ. The plan was re-submitted in August and again there were comments that were subsequently addressed. The plan was then formally approved by the Board of Directors of OBSD at our December 21, 2023 meeting.
The final result is that we have an approved 10-year operating plan for our wastewater facility. This plan also lays out several capital improvement projects that will be undertaken in the coming years to address capacity, regulatory changes, and overall improvements to our facility. These projects will be funded by System Development Charges for new properties developed within our district, as well as from Grants and Loans that will be applied for as we move forward.
