Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities and the contractor building a multimillion-dollar addition to the Muddy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant are embroiled in a dispute that has the contractor claiming $30 million in cost overruns.
Winston-Salem, which operates the city-county utility as a city department, has claims of its own against contractor MWH Constructors Inc., arising from the project not getting done by its Nov. 19, 2017 completion date. Those claims amount to $5.1 million.
