2002 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

 93. PROJECT:Pine Haven Madison Test Well
LEVEL:II
SPONSOR:Town of Pine Haven
LOCATION:Crook County
PROGRAM:New Development
  
EXISTING LEGISLATION:
Purpose Chapter Session Account Appropriation Due Date
Level I 36 2000 I $35,000 2001
Level III 2 2001 I $235,000 2004

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The "Town of Pine Haven Water System Master Plan," completed by Stetson Engineering in 2000, recommended that a second source supply well be developed as a system expansion alternative. The town currently has only one source of supply, the Keyhole No. 1 Well. If this well should fail, the community would be out of water as soon as the storage tank emptied. To increase the reliability of service to the water system, it would be advantageous to have a second supply well. A second well would provide system redundancy and provide additional capacity as the town develops in the future.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated in the New Development program at Level II with an appropriation of $575,000 for test well drilling.
