PROJECT INFORMATION:
The project would serve 450 residents with 230 taps in the
unincorporated area north of the Snake River. The current WWDC - Alpine
Water Supply project is currently involved with approximately the same
number of residents and taps in the incorporated area south of the
river. The Lincoln County Commissioners, as well as the Town of Alpine,
are concerned about the rapid development in the Alpine Junction area.
They would like to develop a master plan for water (and sewer) service
to serve the region including the residents of the areas north and south
of the Snake River. This project is looking at both sides of the river
as a possible future regional system. The Town of Alpine is also
approaching this project as a regional system and had a crossover line
placed in the plans of the new Snake River Bridge when it was
constructed in the summer of 1995.
The applicants would like to drill a test well in the north area around
the Port of Entry and also do some pump testing in that area. They
would also like to complete additional population growth projections and
reevaluate the land ownership in the Alpine area. Due to the rapid
growth and changing of land ownership in the area, it will be hard to
determine the service area and district boundaries for this project at
the present time. Therefore, it is recommended to hold this project at
Level II status at the present time until a district is formed. After a
district is formed, the project will be eligible for Level II funding.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends that the project be retained at Level II-Hold
status.
