PROJECT INFORMATION:
In 1994, Guernsey and Hartville submitted applications requesting
assistance in evaluating the water supply, treatment, storage, transmission
and distribution systems. The Commission conducted a joint Level I
Master Plan study during 1995 to determine the feasibility of a regional
system, but a combined system was found to be not feasible. The aquifer
in the Hartville area is recovering because the Sunrise Mine terminated
operations and stopped dewatering. A source of supply inside the town
limits would eliminate the five-mile pipeline from existing wells near
the North Platte River. In 1996, the Commission recommended that the
project be incorporated into the New Development Program at Level II
status with a budget of $150,000. A successful test well was developed
producing adequate yield to meet the community's peak demands when
developed in conjunction with an existing well with the town limits.
The Abandoned Mine Lands program determined that Hartville is eligible
for 90% grant funding of a $1,025,000 project to put wells #3 and 9 on
line, improve the storage tanks, and construct a new distribution
system. Hartville intends to request the balance in a loan from the
Board of State Lands and Investments. That loan will include $19,020 to
repay the WWDC for 40% of the costs of constructing the test well.
Legislative authority is required to transfer ownership of the well from
the State to the town.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The Omnibus construction bill must include authority to transfer
ownership of Hartville Well No. 9 (No. U. W. 103650) from the Water
Development Commission to the Town of Hartville upon receipt of payment
in the amount of $19,020.
