PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The city of Newcastle received a loan and grant appropriation for construction of a water storage
tank, pressure reducing valve stations, and transmission pipelines to improve the municipal water
system and its ability to provide service to neighboring entities, e..g. Cambria, West End, Salt
Creek, and Blacktail. Regional solutions were explored in the 1999 Level II study, which also
provided for the drilling of a Madison formation well for the Salt Creek Water District.
In 2000 the city executed the legal documents and has begun negotiations for engineering services.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
