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.
The pressure reducing valve stations and booster pump station have been designed and should be
constructed in 2002. Design and construction of transmission pipelines and new water storage tank
are also anticipated in 2002.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
