SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Each year, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) solicits “Letters of Interest” (LOIs) from entities providing drinking water and wastewater services, to establish a
statewide priority list for planning grants and State Revolving Fund construction loans. Planning grants provide up to 50% of the cost of developing a facility plan and environmental
information document in preparation for project design and construction for wastewater or drinking water systems.
The first Water Master Plan was developed in 1988. Since that time there have two revisions and one addendum. Ther first revision came in 1993 and the second revision was developed in
2001. Then in 2008, an Addendum was developed to the original Water Master Plan with the accompanying two revisions in 1993 and 2001. Much has changed between 1988 and today. Population,
population growth rate and new and increased regulation by IDEQ and the EPA are all factors that neccesitate a new Water Master Plan. The estimates to develop a new Water Master Plan
is $130,000.
LOI applications are due January 2, 2015 and announcement of funding is expected by June 2015. The project would take place in FY16 and matching funds from the Water Department would
be programmed in the FY16 budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of a FY16 Letter of Interest application to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality for a Water Planning Grant and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary
documents.
