2003 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

 104. PROJECT:Ranchester Master Plan
LEVEL:I
SPONSOR:Town of Ranchester, Incorporated Municipality
LOCATION:Sheridan
PROGRAM:Rehabilitation
  
EXISTING LEGISLATION:
Purpose Chapter Session Account Appropriation Due Date
Level I 7 2002 II $75,000 2004

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Town of Ranchester would like a feasibility and cost analysis of the recommendations outlined in the level I study completed in October 2002. These recommendations include evaluation of a new infiltration gallery upstream of Fivemile and Wolf Creeks, and further evaluation of water treatment processes used for taste and odor control and disinfection. The scope of work is contingent on the success of the Dayton well that is currently being drilled. If an adequate supply is found, Ranchester's needs will be met with a regional pipeline supplied by the Dayton well. The study would then be downsized to only address conveyance issues, emergency power issues and water storage issues.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the Rehabilitation Program at Level II with an appropriation of $80,000.
