Lakeside County Water and Sewer District is seeking to expand their operations to handle aging infrastructure and an influx of population, with hopes to begin construction in 2025.
The Department of Environmental Quality is accepting public comments on a Montana Ground Water Pollutant Control System discharge permit and draft environmental assessment in relation to the proposed project.
The permit would allow treated wastewater to be put into groundwater via a rapid infiltration system, described as “shallow earthen basins for the controlled infiltration of treated wastewater.” Approval would allow LCWSD to begin Phase I of construction for their new water treatment facility.
