Deferred/Unfunded
The project will help the City of Dorris provide a safe reliable source of drinking water through replacement of a dilapidated water treatment facility and to promote water conservation and sustainability of the City's water supply through installation of water meters. In addition, the use of solar panels to power its water pumps will help the City to be more self-sustaining, reduce its carbon impact, and significantly reduce its O&M costs.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The project includes the installation of water meters for all non-residential customers in the City of Dorris (approximately 60 connections). When all connections are metered, the City will be able to establish a more fair and equitable usage-based rate structure that encourages water conservation and long-term health of the City's water supply. Meters are expected to result in immediate efficiencies through earlier leak detection, greater consumer awareness, and decreased demand, all of which will improve the community's resilience to the projected effects of climate change. The project also includes the replacement construction of the dilapidated water treatment facility for Well No. 6, the City's only approved permanent water source. (The backup source exceeds state drinking water standards for arsenic.) Improvements include a new well building, telemetry and chlorination equipment, a new well seal, solar panels, and a backup generator.
