Wye Sewer System Project Updates

By WGM Admin on September 29, 2009 11:53 AM | Permalink

After many years of planning and months of construction, the final phases of the Wye Area Sewer System (RSID) 8489 are finally underway!

This project will provide environmentally sound sewer service to approximately 1,566 acres of industrial, commercial, and residential land located northwest of the City of Missoula, MT.

It will accomplish this by
Extending municipal sewer
Eliminating drainfields
Encouraging connections for community drainfields

This work is designed to protect groundwater and mitigate further degradation of the Clark Fork and Bitterroot Rivers. Additionally, it will lessen the contamination of the Missoula Valley Aquifer, which is designated the areas "sole source aquifer" by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In 2007, the City sewer was extended to the Wye Area, northwest of Missoula near the interchange of Highway 93 and Interstate 90. That project completed construction of two pump stations and related mains. The remainder of that system is now being built to service all of the residents within RSID 8489. The project is anticipated to be complete by spring 2010.

To fund this 10.1 million dollar project, a Rural Special Improvement District (RSID) was implemented. Typically, these special assessment bonds or RSID bonds are issued to pay for public improvements where the property benefited by the improvements can be identified. In this instance, the Wye Area Sewer System assessments will be the responsibility of the benefiting landowners.
