Advisory board recommends Willard join Stockton Lake water-storage reallocation
Summary
The Willard advisory board voted to recommend that the city authorize a contract to buy a share of water storage from the Southwest Missouri Joint Water Commission's Stockton Lake reallocation, a purchase projected to cost the city about $26,000 a year and to supply roughly half a million gallons per day toward the city's shortfall.
The Willard Water Advisory Board voted to recommend that the Board of Aldermen authorize the city to sign a contract to purchase Stockton Lake water storage through the Southwest Missouri Joint Water Commission, a regional effort to add long-term water supply for southwest Missouri.
The recommendation follows a presentation by Roddy Rogers of the Southwest Missouri coalition describing a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reallocation of Stockton Lake and the Commission's offer to members to buy portions of the storage. Rogers told the advisory board the reallocation has been approved at the assistant secretary of the army level and described the current financing options and likely Willard share and cost.
