After a steady stream of setbacks, the Clancy Water & Sewer District’s quest for clean water hit yet another potential snag last week – but this appears to be a minor regulatory hurdle rather than a major technical one.
At its Jan. 28 meeting, the district board unanimously approved a contract amendment with Great West Engineering to move forward with drilling two production wells at the successfully tested site on the property of Steve Marks.
Meanwhile, the Helena-based engineering firm is working to address a concern that could have complicated the project: a cut in the ground from historical placer mining operations near the well site that the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) fears could contaminate the water supply.
