Hightstown extended the completion date for the AWWTP Influent Pump Station Drywell Upgrades project by 120 days, to September 20, 2026, due to delays in obtaining BABA-compliant valves. The existing $224,000 contract with Sovereign Consulting remains unchanged in value and is funded through the NJ Water Bank. The delay highlights procurement and compliance challenges for treatment-plant components and may create needs for schedule recovery support, specialty suppliers, or future plant resilience upgrades.

Time extension only, no added cost; focuses on BABA-compliant valve lead times in an NJIB-funded project.
