PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Town of Thayne supplies water to 150 taps. The water supply system
consists of a spring collection system which is pumped into a storage
tank. The tank is located on a hillside approximately one mile from the
corporate limits. The system cannot meet the present water demands
including the fire flow requirements. There are plans to construct a
new secondary school in town. Further, Thayne would like to expand
through annexation but cannot provide the water for the proposed
expansion. The system may need additional supply, transmission, and
storage facilities.
The Level I study inventoried the existing system, evaluated water
supply needs, and evaluated water supply alternatives for the Town of
Thayne and the Bedford Water and Sewer District. Preliminary plans and
cost estimates were developed for the preferred alternative. The Level
II, currently underway, will include a water supply plan for the Town
of Thayne, the Bedford Water and Sewer District and Turnerville (the
Willow Creek Pipeline Company).
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required on this project.
