PROJECT INFORMATION:
The population of Hawk Springs is approximately 125. Thirty-one service connections that may
be served by construction of a central water supply system. The district requested a study to
investigate alternative water sources, storage, and distribution facilities for the area in and around
Hawk Springs. Residents currently rely on individual wells. Some wells in the area are
contaminated by high levels of dissolved solids, radio nuclides, and septic system effluent. The
legislature appropriated funds to conduct the study.
The Level II study was completed in 1995. The exploration program located a suitable
groundwater supply west of the community. Preliminary designs, cost estimates, and economic
analyses have been prepared for the preferred alternative, with the estimated total project cost at
$2,145,664. The estimated monthly bill for the project is $45.49/tap. The sponsor is currently
working on financing alternatives.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends that the project remain on Level II-Hold status.
