It was again a topic of discussion at last week's council meeting.
In late September, council voted to give the company another three months to meet waste water standards.
However, the company queried a clean up order issued by council staff recently.
"Staff issued a clean up order and it only gave them a week to clean up," mayor John Dal Broi said.
"To fully comply with the order they would probably have to stop processing and possibly have to process out of Griffith."
Councillor Dal Broi said councillors decided to allow them more time to address waste water issues.
"Up until now, Real Juice has been focusing on addressing all the fire safety issues," he said.
"It's slow but you've got a local company which is trying its best."
The Griffith juicing company has been operating since 2004 without an operation certificate and in early April council allowed it about three months to meet fire regulation and waste water standards.
John Dickens, whose home on Duchatel Road neighbours the factory, has repeatedly raised concerns about high levels of noise at all times of the day and night.
He said all he wanted was some peace and quiet.
Cr Dal Broi said this was the last extension the company would be given.
