Highland County Water Company, Inc. Drinking Water Report Info
In the center 1960's a gathering of specialists and ranchers knew there was a requirement for the rustic community to have a protected excellent water supply. In the late 1960's they went to Washington D.C. to check whether there was a way to acquire monies for this reason. Following a while of examination it was discovered that the Farmers Home Administration (FHA) had been financing comparative undertakings in the Western states and they would check whether they could discover subsidizing for this venture. At that point the work started. It was chosen to shape this company as a non-profit organization to be built up to give a support of the rustic groups of Highland County. A Board of twelve Directors was framed to begin working toward that objective. There would be a ton of legwork that should have been done to acquire the essential right of ways and imminent clients to make this undertaking plausible for financing from FHA. In 1968 the important paperwork was finished and a 4,000,000 dollar venture to give administration to 2,200 clients in Highland County was begun. In 1969 a two million gallon for each day lime-soft drink softening treatment plant was begun in the Rainsboro area and 256 miles of pipeline was begun. In September of 1971 the system was finished and the primary clients of Highland County Water Company, Inc. were accepting a sheltered excellent water supply. From the beginning date in September 1971, Highland County Water Company, Inc. has been consistently under development to serve more clients. In 1974 another credit from FHA in the measure of $442,000.00 was acquired to serve the individuals in the northern area of Highland County and a segment of Clinton County. This was known as the Willettsville Project. In 1976 another FHA credit was allowed in the measure of $1,036,000.00 to expand lines everywhere throughout the present system and in Brown and Adams Counties. In 1979 more need existed so an undertaking to expand the system started and was FHA subsidized in the measure of $1,000,000.00. In 1984 another expansion into parts of Highland County and Clinton County was finished. This was a venture with an expense of $1,121,000.00. Finished with FHA financing. In 1985 the Company went into an agreement in the measure of $300,000.00 to give an admission into Paint Creek Lake to increase our water supply to help the well field. In November of 1987 Highland County Water Company, Inc. purchased the McFarland Ford Dealership building. A structure with around 6,000 square feet. The office area was 1,692 square feet. The structure was acquired for $160,000.00 and $30,699.00 was spent on remodels. Around then Highland County Water Company, Inc. was serving around 5,100 clients. In March of 1991 as the company was introducing the Paint Creek consumption; we found that there was a rich measure of ground water in that area that could be taken advantage of. The company chose to introduce three new wells at the Paint Creek Lake site. Simultaneously there were different primary line expansions all through the system that should have been hurried to include new clients. Both of these ventures totaled $1,004,000.00 and were finished with Rural Development Association (RDA, once in the past known as FHA) financing. As the demand on our treatment plant grew the requirement for additional on location stockpiling was required so the company constructed a one million gallon clear well at the plant at an expense of $ 820,000.00. (RDA financing) In September of 1995 it was chosen to introduce a principle from the treatment plant to the Hillsboro stockpiling tanks to place a repetitive fundamental line in administration and another primary line from the well field to ensure the system against any down time. Additionally more than quite a while one of the capacity tanks had not had the option to be in administration as a result of the rise so it was chosen to move the tank to Mad River Road. These ventures were cultivated at an expense of $1,800,000.00. (RDA financing) Soon after a 10 inch primary transmission line from the raised stockpiling tank on Mad River Road to State Route 135 at Lynchburg was introduced to improve water flow into that area at a task cost of $ 325,000.00. (RDA financing) In October of 1996 the Highland County Water Company, Inc. The executives and Board of Directors with an end goal to satisfy the future needs and capacities of the system chose to change the treatment plant from a lime soft drink softening to iron and manganese evacuation treatment. This would achieve two objectives for the future; (1) it would work at a lower cost for each gallon of water created and (2) it would cost the company less when it was chosen to fabricate an expansion to the present treatment office to meet the future growth of the system. April 20, 1998 offers were open that would construct a 750,000-gallon stockpiling tank and siphon station at New Market to serve the southern part of the water system. Offers added up to $546,000.00 for the tank and $78,000.00 for the siphon station. With controls introduced at the two locales the all out expense was $714,239.46. (RDA financing) September 21, 1998 offers were available to refresh the treatment plant from two million gallons for every day to a four to 6,000,000 gallon for every day treatment office at an expense of $2,702,675.00.
