PROJECT INFORMATION:
The population of Hawk Springs is approximately 125, with an estimated 31 taps that would be
served by a central water supply system. The Hawk Springs Water and Sewer District was formed in
1994. The district requested a study to investigate alternative water sources, storage, and distribution
facilities for the area in and around Hawk Springs. Residents currently rely on individual wells.
Some wells in the area are contaminated by high levels of dissolved solids, radionuclides, and septic
system effluent.
A Level II study was completed in 1995 to evaluate storage, distribution, transmission, and water
supply alternatives. The exploration program located a suitable groundwater supply west of the
community. Preliminary designs, cost estimates, and economic analyses have been prepared for the
preferred alternative, with the estimated total project cost at $2,145,664. The estimated monthly bill
for the project is $45.49/tap. The sponsor is currently working on financing alternatives.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends that the project remain on Level II-Hold status.
