The costs for servicing the
citizens of McCaII are paid
through an Enterprise Fund.
This fund is based upon
monthly base water rates and
monthly usage of water. All
new service connections pay
a system buy -in and connec-
tion fee as well.
The City of McCall also ac-
tively seeks out appropriate
grant funding opportunities.

What's Next: Projects & Challenges
Improving the City Water System
Water Master Plan Update: It has been five (5) years since the Water Master Plan
was updated. Much has happened since 2008. A number of improvements have been
made to the City's water system and the growth rate has slowed considerably. As indi-
cated on Page 2 of this report, there are a number of improvements that have been
identified as being needed for the future long term growth of the City of McCall. These
improvements are also necessary to meet state and federal regulatory requirements.
The purpose of updating the Water Master Plan is to determine if the planned improve-
ments are still necessary and are they in the right order. It is also important to update
the engineering and construction costs associated with each of the identified improve-
ment to appropriately plan future budget needs.
Water Model: The City of McCall's Water Model is a computerized analysis of the
entire city water system. It is used to identify deficiencies where volume or pressure
improvements are warranted. These improvements can be as simple as modifying
pressure settings at the City's Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) stations or as complex
as installing new water mains, water tanks, and booster pump stations. This model
needs to be updated and calibrated.
Knowles Road Booster Station: This year plans are being made to provide back-up
power to the Knowles Road Booster Station. This will allow the City the ability during
power outages to continue providing necessary water to residents and also provide the
necessary volume of water to fight fires. The power generation unit will be sized for
future pump upgrades.
Davis Beach Pump Station: This year plans are being made to provide back-up
power to the Davis Beach Pump Station. The City relies on two pump stations to pro-
vide raw water to the City's Water Treatment Plant, Legacy Park and Davis Beach.
Currently, the Legacy Park Pump Station is the City's primary intake for raw water.
During the summer and other times of high water demand, additional water is provided
by the Davis Beach Pump Station. The use of the Legacy Park Pump Station as the
primary source of water is due to this pump station already having back-up power.
However the pumps within this station are significantly older than the pumps at the
Davis Beach Station . By providing back-up power to the Davis Beach Station the City
can then use the newer pumps at Davis Beach to provide more efficient and reliable
raw water to the City Water Treatment Plant.
Fire Flow Testing: It has been some time since the City undertook fire flow testing of
its fire hydrants. This testing is necessary for several reasons. The first reason is it
tells us almost immediately of any glaring deficiencies with a particular fire hydrant.
Those hydrants that have operational issues are then placed on a list for repair or re-
placement. Other reasons for fire flow testing include the calibration of the water model
to make sure it is accurate and maintaining the City's fire insurance rating.
Water Line/Hydrant Replacement: This year plans are being made to replace aging
cast iron water mains and old fire hydrants within the City. Allowing these pipes and
hydrants to remain in the system will lead to potential catastrophic failures.
