Description
Description | The project involves addressing the failing, decades-old water infrastructure in Fairfield, Montana, which is causing significant water loss and shortages. The town's water system loses about half of the water it takes from its wells due to leaks in old pipes, many installed in 1946. The town council has invested in infrastructure improvements and imposed water use restrictions to mitigate the declining water supply. Efforts to drill new wells have been unsuccessful, and the town faces the risk of wells running dry, potentially requiring portable toilets. The Greenfields Irrigation District, a century-old irrigation network near Fairfield, also faces water shortages and aging infrastructure challenges. |
