2001 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

100.PROJECT:Sheridan Big Goose Water Supply
LEVEL:III
SPONSOR:City of Sheridan
LOCATION:Sheridan County
PROGRAM:New Development
  
EXISTING LEGISLATION:
Purpose Chapter Session Account Appropriation Due Date
Level II 82 1998 I $75,000 2000
Level III 96 2000 I $1,587,000 2004

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The water supply system for the Sheridan area is operated by both the Sheridan Area Water System Joint Powers Board (SAWSJPB) and the city of Sheridan. The diversion is operated by Sheridan and delivers water to the SAWSJPB water treatment plant and to the city of Sheridan water treatment plant. During peak demand and during turbid water conditions the diversion and presedimentation facilities cannot meet the system demand. The study will determine the required facility expansion, prepare preliminary designs and cost estimates and prepare the project reports.

The WWDC contracted with MSE-HKM to conduct the Level II analysis. The Level II analysis recommended improvements and expansion of the existing diversion facilities from Big Goose Creek. The city has requested funding of these improvements.

Project documents to allow funding of this project have been executed and HKM engineering of Sheridan has been retained for design and construction engineering.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action required.
