TIBER, Mont. (NMB) – With the passage of the federal funding for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019, the Rocky Boy’s/North Central Montana Regional Water System Project received a substantial boost in federal funding needed to start on the Water Treatment Plant.
A press release says that in 2018, the Bureau of Reclamation directed the Core and Non-Core System leaders to review planning and design concepts with respect to Project costs. With a new master planning concept approved by all project stakeholders, design efforts to reconfigure the Rocky Boy’s Water Treatment Plant started immediately. Phase 1 of the project will boast a treatment capacity of 11 million gallons per day. No changes to the treatment technology were proposed, however significant design modifications were required to meet the new objectives.
With federal funding already appropriated to construct a significant portion of the Rocky Boy’s WTP Phase 1, project stakeholders proved the direction that the project should be ready for bidding to general contractors by late spring or summer this year.
