Agenda Item Summary:
The Mountain View Water Treatment Plant has exceeded the original design life. The plant and equipment are obsolete and replacement parts are no longer reliably available. Mountain View has significant safety and maintenance issues that result in an overall rating of “poor” by Burns and McDonnel. The current recommendation is to construct a new surface water treatment plant in the eastern portion of the City. An eastern location supports the strong growth occurring toward the east and reinforces the City’s commitment to providing safe reliable water for Ellsworth Air Force Base and Rapid City Regional Airport. Staff proposes to submit a funding application to South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (SDDANR) prior to October 2021 to have the project placed on the SDDANR State Water Plan. The application package will include requests for both grant and loan funding. Submitting a project application for placement on the State Water Plan does not obligate the City.
