PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
In 1992, a Level I study conducted for the town of Moorcroft recommended
construction of a new storage tank, collection system and the construction
of both a Lance/Fox Hills well and a Madison well. In 1994, after the
conclusion of a Level II study, the town of Moorcroft constructed the new
storage tank, collection system, and drilled the Lance/Fox Hills well.
The town is now ready to complete the remainder of the recommendations
and would like to complete the Madison well and associated pipeline.
Under the current supply situation, the town can marginally meet its
daily water demands. The town currently meets its high demand needs by
purchasing water from the city of Gillette. This purchase of water was
originally intended only to meet emergency demands and not to be a constant
supply source. The town would like to see the project constructed as a
Level II well project and a Level III pipeline project.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated in the New Development
Program at Level II with an appropriation of $355,000.
