Re: Public Hearing for the Water and Wastewater Facility Plan Update -South
Kalispell Development
Meeting Date: October 17, 2016
BACKGROUND: With the increasing potential for new development in South Kalispell,
Public Works procured an Engineering Firm to develop a comprehensive Water and Wastewater
Facility Plan for the South Kalispell area. The South Kalispell Facility Plan Update is a
supplement to the adopted 2008 Water and Wastewater Facility Plan and provides increased
planning details on the necessary water and sewer system requirements to service existing and
new development within the City's annexation boundary. This supplemental facility plan will aid
new development and the City in planning for utility extensions in the south corridors of
Kalispell using smart growth principles.
A work session was held on June 27, 2016, reviewing the supplemental facility plan for the water
and wastewater collection systems.
As part of the consideration for adoption of the Water and Wastewater Facility Plan Update -
South Kalispell Development, notification and public hearing processes are applicable. As such
the requirement for public hearing prior to Council taking action for the Water and Wastewater
Facility Plan Update -South Kalispell Development is scheduled for the October 17, 2016
Council Meeting.
The plan was advertised via local newspaper, social media and circulated to the local
engineering, construction and development community requesting input and comments on the
proposed supplemental facility plan. Thus far, the City has received one comment from a local
engineering firm. The comments received have been addressed, and were provided to Council at
the September 191h Council meeting.
