PROJECT INFORMATION:
Jackson has a total permanent population of 4,700 and 2,200 taps. The
town has a high water demand during peak tourist season. Jackson
received $54,000 from the WWDC Groundwater Grant Program in August of
1993 to drill a test well to evaluate water quality parameters. Based
on the data gathered through this exploratory drilling program, the town
proposes to construct two additional production wells with well houses
and controls, a standby generator, and transmission lines to connect the
new wells to the existing system.
This is a typical extension of a WWDC Groundwater Grant Project wherein
the information gathered during the testing program generates a Level
III application for production wells and appurtenances. The project
will allow the town to better serve the south Jackson area.
The well drilling program has been designed, is currently under
construction, and will be completed this winter or the spring of 1996.
The interconnecting pipelines are being designed. Total project
construction should be competed in the fall of 1996 or the spring of
1997.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required for this project.
