Progress Being Made

With the meet and greet meetings being completed, IARWC is continuing working towards meeting and greeting property owners as to discuss the water line routing and participation of those property owners.

Over the next coming weeks of March 2023 more information will be sent out to those property owners along the proposed water main route.  Additionally MHE has been hired as to have personnel personally meet the property owners. Craig Thurston or Marty Reynolds are two who might be reaching out to the property owners to discuss the easements required to get the project moving forward.

Alluvial will also be mailing out a newsletter as to keep everyone up to date on the progress being made.  After all, this is a community effort and everyone has a stake in their future drinking water operation.

IARWC looks forward to working with you as the property owner. IARWC is somewhat flexible in addressing the water line route. For more information about the project, click here and look under Easement work. Click here to see the most recent newsletter pertaining to the project progress.

This ensures local control of the daily operation.

IARWC will be working through 2023 and early 2024 on securing the easements. Once these are completed, IARWC can move forward in the construction of the wells, water plant, and water lines – both Raw and finish side.
