Public Works Projects In Washoe May Total $65 Million Or More

County Looking To Build Or Rebuild Much Of Its Water And Sewer Facilities

Seven major public works projects are planned for the coming months at a cost of about $65 million according to a resolution adopted by the Washoe County Commission on July 12. Nevada General Obligation Water and Sewer bonds will be used for the financing, "And all of the project's costs and debt service will be paid by utility users." The Commission says no money will come from the County General Revenue sources. Both are funded by you the taxpayer.

Water projects include the Hidden Valley Water System Improvements, Lemmon Valley Water System Improvements, South Truckee Meadows Water Treatment Facility, Spanish Springs Water system Improvements, and the Longley Lane Water Treatment Facility. Sewer projects include Pleasant Valley Interceptor and the Spanish Springs Treatment Facility.

The County Debt Management Commission must review and approve the plans before any of the projects can begin. In the final analysis, it's likely there will be state and federal grant money involved as well.
