Hawaii County has hired a contractor to remove mold from a building at the wastewater treatment plant in Hilo.
The building includes a break room and laboratory. Mold was found as a leaking roof was replaced last year, and the Department of Environmental Management brought in a trailer for employees to use as an alternative break room. Some employees were relocated, the department said at the time.
A study found mold on top of a bookshelf and blueprints, behind bulletin boards and in drywall and drop ceilings.
The $410,000 mold remediation contract was awarded to Isemoto Contracting.
Bill Kucharski, Environmental Management director, said the work should be done in December.
