Potential Solutions: The proposed project is to construct approximately 1000 feet of 4 inch schedule 80 PVC pipeline connecting the two systems with a booster pump, appropriate appurtenances, and replacement 10,000 gallon storage tank. Line would be along Hungry Gulch Rd and the tank would be on an existing site once the failing tank is removed. Once the connection is made the assuming system, Hungry Gulch, will begin efforts to seek funding to install a treatment system addressing arsenic issues.Boulder Canyon has administratively consolidated with Hungry Gulch and the new system name is Hungry Gulch Mutual Water Company Inc. They are retaining their original water system numbers 1500521 & 1500436 respectively until the physical interconnection line is installed. At that time they will be a single water system and will apply for a single system number with the state.-All groundwater wells will be pumped into a storage tank and then filtered to remove arsenic .
