PROJECT INFORMATION:
The 1994 WWDC Level II Study for Big Piney/Marbleton recommended upgrades for Big Piney,
including those that are being requested in this project. These upgrades are designed to increase
system reliability, improve public health and safety, provide emergency and fire suppression
water, and increase overall system operating efficiency. As a small town with limited resources
and a stable population, Big Piney has worked since 1994 to develop priorities for improvements
that will achieve the most value. The proposed improvements include a new 200,000 gallon
elevated storage tank, updated well system controls, conversion to liquid chlorination (not
WWDC eligible - treatment), a new supply well, and a transmission line connecting the Big Piney
and Marbleton water supply systems.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the Rehabilitation Program at Level III
with an appropriation of $475,000 (50% Grant).
