Council hears $65.505 million water system master plan; consultant to return with draft
Summary
Engineering consultant Anderson Perry presented a water system capital improvement plan with a preliminary 2026 cost estimate of $65,505,000 and confirmed the proposal includes extending water infrastructure north toward Stateline; the firm will finalize a draft for council consideration in the coming months.
John Wells of engineering firm Anderson Perry presented the City of Milton‑Freewater’s draft Water System Master Plan, saying the projects described in the plan carried a preliminary 2026 cost estimate of $65,505,000. The presentation included project descriptions, an approximate timeline and confirmation that extending water infrastructure north to the Stateline area is included in the planning scenarios.
Wells told council the consultant will "continue on finalizing the draft report and will be bringing it back to council for consideration of adoption in a few months." Councilors asked clarifying questions about scope and siting; no adoption vote was taken at the meeting. The project list and the large preliminary estimate signal a multiyear capital program that the city will need to budget and prioritize through future budget cycles.
