PROJECT INFORMATION:
The sponsor utilizes 12 wells, a surface intake from the LeClair Canal,
and a 4 MGD water treatment plant to meet the needs of its residents. The
treatment plant is used to meet peak summer demands, and operates from May
through September. During peak demand days this plant operates at 80% of
its rated capacity. The sponsor has indicated there are 1500-3000 people
living on the periphery of Riverton, and at least 15 community water systems
in and around the city. They have seen consistent growth in the city and
expect this trend to continue. Further, they expect this growth to include
an outward movement of their boundaries that may take in some or all of the
outlying community water systems. These factors will require the sponsor's
water system to expand.
WWDC completed the Level I master plan for the City of Riverton in June, 1998.
The Level II study requested from the 1999 legislature is to develop conceptual
designs and cost estimates for the WWDC eligible items identified in the Level I
study as warranting further work.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
