2001 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

 28. PROJECT:Dayton Water Supply Rehabilitation
LEVEL:I
SPONSOR:Town of Dayton
LOCATION:Sheridan County
PROGRAM:Rehabilitation
  
EXISTING LEGISLATION:
Purpose Chapter Session Account Appropriation Due Date
Level I 36 2000 I $60,000 2002

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Town of Dayton would like to pursue a detailed cost analysis of alleviating the turbidity problems experienced in the raw water intake used by Dayton on the Tongue River. A Level I Master Plan study funded by the WWDC in 2000 looked very briefly at this problem and basically identified its existence. The level I study listed two alternatives; "A" and "B" as most feasible. Alternative "A" would be to reconstruct the existing infiltration gallery and install variable frequency drives on influent water pumps. Alternative "B" would be to relocate the infiltration gallery and construct an upstream presedimentation basin.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the Rehabilitation Program at Level II with an appropriation of $50,000.
