2002 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

PROJECT INFORMATION:
During the 2001 legislative session approval was given to fund the replacement of an existing transite water line, for the installation of pipeline to an existing booster station, and for the addition of a new booster station for the Town of Dayton. This project was called the Dayton Water Supply Rehabilitation Project. After funding was received the town of Dayton hired Entech, Inc. to design and supervise construction of the new pipeline and booster station.

Currently, the towns of Dayton and Ranchester are discussing the potential for a regional system. To facilitate this regional concept the transmission main line that was approved for construction funding during the last legislative session would need to be increased in size from 12" to 16" to support the capacity needed for the two towns combined. The total project cost was authorized at 880,000 by the 2001 legislative session. To accommodate the regional supply concept the total project cost would increase to $1,032,000. Construction is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2002.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
Amend the current legislation to reflect a 60% grant of 619,200.
