In addition Krieger and Stewart were to provide construction management for the project . In 1993, the City ordered the design work to stop. Plans were about 50% complete.

As Council is aware, on April 7, 1995, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) adopted Cease and Desist Order No. 95-36, ordering the City to make certain improvements to the City's Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant. As a result of the Cease and Desist Order, the Council and the Utilities Commission moved quickly to determine a course of action to comply with the RWQCB directives. The final decision, made on January 16, 1996 and modified slightly on February 21, 1996, was to authorize Krieger and Stewart to complete the design plans. The Agreement called for completion of the repair and improvement plans for a fee of not -to -exceed $200,000 within a time frame of six months. The time frame was in keeping with the RWQCB approved plans and schedules. Krieger and Stewart performed all of the required design work on time, and the State Water Resources Control Board has approved the plans and specifications for the project and awarded a State Revolving Fund loan to Colton for the construction of the project.
