Active Projects
| 19. | PROJECT: | Canyon/Sunset/Newcastle Area Water Supply | | | | | |
| LEVEL: | New Application |
| SPONSOR: | Canyon Improvement & Service District/Sunset
Ranch Water District |
| LOCATION: | Weston County |
| PROGRAM: | New Development |
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Residents in the Salt Creek and Beaver Creek valleys, north and east of Newcastle wish to
investigate the feasibility, and determine costs associated with developing a water supply system.
Currently, the water supply for these individuals are domestic wells that supplemented by water
hauling. Domestic wells in this area are, for the most part, non-potable. The Madison Formation
Aquifer which has been developed by the City of Newcastle and other entities in the area and
would be an excellent source supply for these residents as well. The study will be initiated by a
reconnaissance investigation of the area so that potential beneficiaries are well informed of the
costs associated with project implementation. One purpose of the study is to determine if existing
supplies are sufficient to serve these areas.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the New Development Program at
Level II with an appropriation of $75,000.
