Loyalton City Water Update:

3/10/2023

0 Comments

 
     
Status:           State of Emergency
 
Update: 
An Ad hoc committee was formed to work on the state of our water infrastructure. 
Tasks to accomplish in order by priority:
  • Replacement of the 10” pipe that was bypassed while fixing leaks earlier this summer.  If that pipe does not get replaced before summer, the outside watering including lawns and gardens, car washing etc. will not be permitted, in order to have enough water pressure for fire suppression. 
 
  • The Van Daam leak; of which we received funding from the State Department of Water Resources to repair this leak.
 
  • The grants for the Planning Report have been submitted, and we are awaiting an acceptance of award amount.  Once we have the report, we can apply for further USDA Grants.
 
  • Grant funding will not cover all costs for infrastructure replacement and repair. Low interest loans, or property tax special assessments will most likely be part to replace close to 75% of our city water system.    
How YOU can help: 
  • Any water infrastructure grant opportunity you hear of, email them to the City of Loyalton at: sarah.cityofloyalton@gmail.com
  • Attend the Water Committee community update meetings the 1st Thursday of every month / 6:30PM
In the City Hall auditorium.
  • Attend the regular City Council meetings the 3rd Tuesday of each month / 6:30PM
In the City Hall auditorium.
 
 What to expect: 
A definite increase in water/sewer charges
Possible disruption of water source, as well as street detours due to construction. 

Next Meeting:  4/6/2023 Ad hoc Committee 5:30 PM / City Town Hall meeting 6:30 PM
Committee members:  Sarah Jackson, Joy Markum, Joyce Cameron, Dori Gayner (representing as school Board member), Pat McCarthy, Wendy Church-Bergstrom, Doug McCoy, William Mertton, and Kelly Champion.
