PROJECT INFORMATION:
The project would serve 450 residents with 230 taps in the unincorporated area north of the Snake
River. The current Alpine Water Supply project is currently involved with approximately the same
number of residents and taps in the incorporated area south of the river. The Lincoln County
Commissioners, as well as the town of Alpine, are concerned about the rapid development in the
Alpine Junction area. They would like to develop a master plan for water (and sewer) service to
serve the region including the residents of the areas north and south of the Snake River. The town of
Alpine is also considering regionalization of the area and had a connecting pipeline placed in the
plans of the new Snake River Bridge when it was constructed in the summer of 1995.
The applicants would like to drill a test well in the north area around the Port of Entry and also do
some pump testing in that area. They would also like to complete additional population growth
projections and reevaluate the land ownership in the Alpine area. Due to the rapid growth and
changing of land ownership in the area, it will be hard to determine the service area and district
boundaries at the present time. Therefore, it is recommended to place this project in the hold
category until a district is formed. After a district is formed, the project will be eligible for Level II
funding.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends that the project be retained at Level II-Hold status.
