PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Town of Pinedale is an incorporated municipality with a population
of approximately 1200 residents. A Level II report was completed in
1993 for the Town of Pinedale. The town was under an EPA order to
filter its water system and/or complete a watershed control plan. In
1994, the town's Watershed Control Plan was accepted by the EPA. The
town obtains water directly from Fremont Lake and does not filter the
raw water. The raw water intake is 70 feet deep. Chlorination is
provided. The Level II report noted the Town of Pinedale needs a new
water tank, appurtenant piping, and equipment to meet chlorine detention
times.
In 1993, the town requested funding for a Level I water supply master
plan to assess present/future needs and to evaluate the entire water
system. The Level I study was completed in 1995 and refined the work
outlined in the Level II study. The Level I study delineated the
potential service boundaries and evaluated deficiencies in their supply
and distribution system. The master plan provides a complete evaluation
of their existing water supply and distribution system and identifies
those areas outside the present service area that may be served by an
expansion of the water system based on projected growth. The recently
completed Level I report recommended that the Town of Pinedale construct
a new pipeline from Fremont Lake to town and additional chlorination to
meet chlorine detention time requirements, and provide redundant
chlorination. The cost for those items is estimated to be $3,550,000.
The project is currently under design and an early 1997 bid letting and
contract award are anticipated. Construction is expected by the end of
1997.
