Town of Lakeview (“Town”) Town is home to approximately 2,300 persons and is located in Lake County, Oregon. Town is managed by a town manager. The town manager oversees the public works department, fire department, police department, and city hall administration. The public works department oversees the town’s municipal utilities (water and wastewater) and transportation system (streets). The public works crew operates and maintains the public facilities that are provided by the Town.
Town’s water supply suffers from heightened levels of iron and manganese. Additionally, town has shut off its “north well” as a result of arsenic levels. Town’s recently updated water system master plan contemplates the construction of a new water treatment facility to address iron and manganese (in addition to performing ordinary municipal water treatment processes) and construction of an arsenic treatment facility at the north well, allowing that well to rejoin the system.
Project: Town of Lakeview, Water Treatment Facility
The Town of Lakeview, Oregon (Town) intends to complete improvements to its water system as generally outlined in the state-approved 2018 Water System Master Plan (WSMP). Improvements include a new water treatment facility to treat iron, manganese, and arsenic; rehabilitation of Wells No. 2, 7, and 8; upgrades to Well Pump Stations No. 2, 7, 8, 9, and the North Well Pump Station; various replacements to the distribution system piping; and improvements to the main spring area security fencing and spring line.
The Town has secured project funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) program for completion of the proposed water system improvements. The ARPA grant funds were awarded by Governor Kate Brown’s office. The ARPA funds are administered and managed by Business Oregon.
