2003 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

111.PROJECT:Saratoga Master Plan Update/Saratoga Groundwater
LEVEL:I
SPONSOR:Town of Saratoga, Carbon County Impact Joint Powers Board
LOCATION:Carbon County
PROGRAM:New Development
  
EXISTING LEGISLATION:
Purpose Chapter Session Account Appropriation Due Date
Level I 7 2002 II $60,000 2002

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Town of Saratoga would like to continue the planning process initiated with the Level I master plan update completed in 2002. They would like to evaluate the potential of developing a ground water supply to supplement their surface water supply. To do this a ground water exploration program will be undertaken. The test wells are estimated to cost $180,000. If a groundwater supply can be developed, a pipeline and other appurtenances will need to be designed to tie the well or wells to the existing system.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the New Development Program at Level II with an appropriation of $180,000.
