Now, moving on to Hunts Point, the new wastewater resource recovery facility.

Justin E. Sanchez

So not new, but updated, new and improved.

In August of 2025, a DAP newsletter stated that infrastructure upgrades to the Hunts Point facility were approximately 75% complete.

Justin E. Sanchez

What is the current status of the site improvement work, and when are the anaerobic digesters expected to be operational?

Jane Gajwani

I believe that the...

Jane Gajwani

Construction is supposed to end this year, so by the end of the year.

Jane Gajwani

And, yeah, those digesters should be up and running by the next calendar year.

Jane Gajwani

And then there are follow-on contracts to that particular contract.

Jane Gajwani

So we're in design and going to be putting out to bid a new contract for energy efficiency improvements and also odor control.
