PROJECT INFORMATION:
This was a Level II feasibility study on: (1) the Little Box Elder Spring
water transmission line which carries water from the Little Box Elder Spring
to the city of Douglas, (2) Little Boxelder Spring Groundwater assessment,
and (3) Sheep Mountain well lightning suppression. There are currently
2,275 taps within the corporate limits of the city of Douglas and
approximately 75 outside the city limits. A population of 5,800 is served.
The city currently has three sources of potable water: 1) the Little Box
Elder Spring, 2) the water treatment plant located along the North Platte
River, and 3) the Sheep Mountain well.
The Level I master plan evaluated the existing transmission and distribution
system and examined the ability of the sources in the system to meet the
current demands and future demands in the anticipated areas of growth in
Douglas. Hydraulic modeling was used to isolate the cause for low water
pressure problems in two areas of the city, Riverbend subdivision and Frontier
Village. Potential system modifications were considered to meet current and
projected growth areas which are experiencing inadequate system pressures.
Preliminary designs were prepared for potential solutions and cost estimates
were made for remedying transmission and distribution problems.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No further action is required. The city of Douglas has decided not to pursue
Level III funding for the pipeline at this time.
