The Clancy Water and Sewer District board at its Nov. 26 meeting approved a statement of work that will cover past project management fees and upcoming work related to the proposed development of a public water supply. Grant funds will pay for the $49,300 contract between the District and Great West Engineering.
The primary project covered by this statement of work is a study of the area’s hydrogeology that will identify potential sites for drilling production wells and test wells “to verify quantity and quality of water available for the District’s new groundwater source,” Collette Anderson of Great West Engineering wrote in an email.
The work is a necessary next step to help the District determine whether or how to proceed with the project, proposed following a 2018 study of 89 houses that found elevated amounts of nitrates and uranium in some of the district’s drinking water.
