PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project proposal came from recommendations described in the WWDC Level II Riverton
Water Supply Study completed by Nelson Engineering in June of 2000. The municipal and
residential raw water distribution system within the city of Riverton is an offshoot of surrounding
agricultural irrigation systems. The responsibility for operations and maintenance of the ditches,
pipes, and laterals comprising the system was assumed by the city several years ago. The system
serves approximately 200 paying customers ($98.00/user/year), but actual users are estimated to
be upwards of 400, and up to 790 users could be served by an expanded, rehabilitated system.
Preservation and expansion of the system would extend the life-span of the City of Riverton
water treatment plant since the present-day use of the irrigation system is estimated at 400,000
gallons/day. Two laterals that are proposed for rehabilitation are primary laterals for Riverton
Valley Irrigation District and LeClair Irrigation District that deliver water to irrigators
downstream of the city of Riverton system.
The City of Riverton has retained Apex Surveying to design this project. The design should be
completed early spring in 2003.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required at this time.
