PROJECT INFORMATION:
The towns of Pine Bluffs water wells are currently connected to the town's distribution system. A Level I study funded by the WWDC determined that a need existed for construction of a transmission line which would connecting the town's wells to the storage tanks. In 1995, a Level II study looked at rehabilitation of the town's existing wells, as well as location, sizing and costs associated with a new transmission pipeline. A subsequent Level III construction project rehabilitated one well, but was not successful in replacing another well as drilling did not encounter significant water. This Level III appropriation will fund construction of a transmission line that will allow the town to disinfect their drinking water in accordance with any proposed federal requirements. The proposed transmission line will provide centralized disinfection and will provide a cost effective method to avoid individual disinfection equipment at each well. The town currently has six wells, of which only three are currently being disinfected, and of those, two have little to no contact time. Modifications to the distribution system are being financed with State Land Investment Board loan and grant funds.

Construction of the transmission pipeline and appurtenances is underway with completion of the project anticipated in 2002.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
