Minot was supposed to start getting water from the lake around the middle of this year, but work at the treatment plant near Max could stretch into early 2028.At a recent special City Council meeting, Minot Public Works Director Jason Sorenson traced the delay to equipment beneath the filters at the Biota Water Treatment Plant.The equipment, called underdrains, was first found to be defective last fall.Sorenson told the council what happened when the contractor tried to fix it.“So, the contractor removed the underdrains, replaced them, and then they promptly failed again the first time they tested them in June of this year. So, since June, they’ve been trying to repair those,” he said.The contractor has since selected a new supplier.Sorenson says the latest schedule he’s seen puts the plant work between August of next year and January of 2028, though he says some of that work could move faster.The city is still waiting for a firm date for lake water to reach Minot.</div></body>
