PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Town of Pine Bluff's water wells are currently connected to the
town's distribution system. A Level I study funded by the WWDC determined
the need for a direct transmission line connecting the town's existing
wells to the storage tank. In 1995, a Level II study looked at rehabilitation
of the town's existing wells as well as location, sizing and costs
associated with a new transmission pipeline. A Level III construction
project is ongoing at this time; a second phase of the Level III project
would be a transmission line that would allow the town to disinfect
their drinking water in accordance with any proposed federal requirements.
The proposed transmission line would provide centralized disinfection and
would provide a cost effective method to avoid individual disinfection
equipment at each well. The town currently has six wells, of which only
three are currently being disinfected, and of those, two have little to no
contact time.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be advanced to Level III in the New Development
Program with an appropriation of $1,245,000. The financing would include a
60% grant for $747,000 and a 40% loan of $498,000 at 7.25% interest for 20
years.
