Contract AdminUtilitiesDetected Jun 23, 2026

The District has recently brought operations of the Harmony Grove Village Sewer Treatment Plant in-house, transitioning from contract operations by Dudek to internal staff. As of May 13, 2026, former Dudek staff member Sean Coughlin is now the District’s Chief Plant Operator and Nicholas Shanley has been hired as Plant Operator, while Dudek continues to operate and maintain the plant through at least April 2026 per disbursement data. In parallel, construction of a solar system at the plant has been completed, with an inspection scheduled for June 4 and a final shutdown planned to tie the solar array into SDG&E’s system.A keypad access system has also been installed for vehicle entry, and regulatory paperwork is being finalized for the operational transfer. For vendors, this reveals current and emerging needs around solar O&M, SCADA integration, onsite electrical improvements, biosolids or process optimization, and potentially security and access controls at the plant and lift station.

Recent payments show a large solar project payment to SitelogIQ and continued Dudek O&M invoices, indicating overlapping contract and in-house operations during the transition period.
