Project Background
Currently, community members that have seasonal pipes rely on private wells that provide water to residents during off-season. In addition to the general issue of water provision, a major concern is that these private wells have tested high for nitrates and magnesium.
Description of the Community:
The utility serves 117 houses, with 65 being year-round residents and the remaining being seasonal residents because they are served by seasonal water mains and are unable to occupy their homes when their seasonal mains are not operational. The community’s annual per capita income is approximately $45,000, and while it is not designated as underserved, there are significant concerns pertaining to the community’s inability to provide essential services like water to its residents.
Project Scope of Work:
The project will require an assessment of the current drinking water distribution system, and the development of a preliminary engineering report to assess alternatives, establish a recommended alternative, implementation costs, and long-term operational costs associated with year-round water distribution to community members currently connected to the seasonal main lines.
