| BACKGROUND: |
The City of Gillette has received grant funding for four sets of projects so far to connect water districts within the Designated Service Area (DSA). Priorities One through Four have been fully funded for both design and construction, with the construction being complete on all the Priority One connections, Rock Road (Priority Two), and Buckskin (Priority Four). The remaining connections are either in design or under construction.
This grant application is for design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction funding for the Priority Five connections, which includes the Airport and Means water districts. |
| ACTUAL COST VS. BUDGET: |
To date, the City of Gillette has received $12,935,690.00 in grant funding from the WWDC to cover 67% of project costs to connect water districts to the Gillette Regional Water Supply Project. The remaining 33% of project costs are covered by the Capital Facilities Tax.
This grant application seeks to increase grant funding by $3,077,999.12 for a total grant allocation for district extension projects of $16,013,689.12. |
