SUBJECT:
Council Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing Utilities Department Staff to Submit a Level II Feasibility Study Application to the Wyoming Water Development Commission to Study Water Storage Improvements for the City of Gillette Water System.
BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this application is to perform a Wyoming Water Development Commission (WWDC) Level II Feasibility Study to determine the feasibility of improvements and expansions to the City's treated water supply and storage system.  Several improvements have been identified by City staff and in prior WWDC Level II studies.  These improvements include:

  • A regional zone 2 tank;
  • A new tank in proximity to south of Gillette to serve Crestview, Antelope Valley, and the surrounding area; and
  • An elevated regional tank downstream of the Gillette West Pump Station to improve system hydraulics and to serve the designation service area (DSA) southwest of Gillette.

Additionally, the City would like to evaluate the potential of incorporating 4 or 5 existing water wells within the Gillette Regional Water Supply System.
ACTUAL COST VS. BUDGET:
The Level II Feasibility Study application requires a $1,000 application fee that will be paid for by the Water Fund.  The proposed Level II Feasibility Study will be funded 100% by the Wyoming Water Development Commission.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I Move for Approval of a Resolution Authorizing Utilities Department Staff to Submit a Level II Feasibility Study Application to the Wyoming Water Development Commission to Study Water Storage Improvements for the City of Gillette Water System.
