PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Pursuant to the 1999 City of Gillette Water System Evaluation, this project calls for construction
of four new transmission lines and the installation of isolation valves to increase static pressure in
an area of town known as Twin Spruce. Modeling of this area was done to investigate areas of
low pressure and low available fire flows. To create higher pressures, the area must be isolated
and included in one of the other existing higher pressure zones in the City or a new pressure zone
must be established.
An evaluation of this project was prepared for the city by Stetson Engineering, Inc. This report
served as the basis for the design funding that was provided by the 2001 legislature. The design
was completed in 2002, and a construction contract was awarded to Hot Iron, Inc. The amount of
eligible work was $618,201.25. The project should complete in the summer of 2003.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required on this project.
