PROJECT INFORMATION:
Salt Creek Water District wishes to make improvements to their existing system as well as join in a
regional, Newcastle area system which was evaluated in the 1999 Level II study. This project
includes the district's purchase of the SCWD No. 1 Well drilled by WWDC in 1999 with
directional drilling technology and completed in the Madison formation aquifer.
The Level III appropriation will finance pump, plumbing, and controls to connect the SCWD No. 1
Well into the district's water delivery system. The appropriation will also finance construction of a
pipeline to connect the well and to replace old transmission pipe.
The district has hired an engineer who is designing the improvements. Construction is anticipated
in 2001 with completion of the project toward the end of the calendar year.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
