NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
The Town of Manville, Manville, Wyoming, will conduct a public meeting at 6:00 PM, local time, on August 1, 2023, at Manville School, 250 7th Avenue, Manville, Wyoming. The purpose of the meeting is to allow citizens to review and comment on the Manville Drinking Water Distribution and Storage project.
This project includes replacing the entirety of the Town of Manville?s water lines including all pipe, fittings, appurtenances, water meters, and service lines. An additional water tank will also be installed.
The water distribution system constructed between 1913 and 1920 is over 100 years old. The cast iron pipes used for water distribution are degrading, leading to breaks, infiltration, reduced water quality, and excessive maintenance.
At the meeting, the Town of Manville will present the preliminary design of the proposed project and will discuss the estimated cost of improvements and the plan for funding the improvements. A preliminary plan of improvements, cost estimates, and the funding plan can also be reviewed at Manville School, 250 7th Avenue, Manville, Wyoming. Contact Town of Manville at (307) 334-2142.
Based on current cost estimates, the Town of Manville plans to borrow $3,551,625 from the Wyoming Drinking Water State Revolving Funds administered by the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments. User fees and designated funds from the 1% specific purpose excise tax imposed within Niobrara County will be used to pay back the loan. Said loan terms will be 2.5% interest rate for 30 years.
Written Comments are also welcome. Send Written comments to Town of Manville, PO Box 107, Manville, WY 82227, by 12:00 PM on July 31, 2023.
