Sandpoint officials weigh a 0.50 surcharge on water bills to fund 20 percent of a 640000 project replacing the lake pumping station and 2000 foot line. The plan aims to secure a HUD loan, repayable over seven years at 6 percent, with grant or other funds potentially stopping the surcharge early.

Corps Assures Sandpoint Lake Level Support For Summer
Army Corps of Engineers told Sen. Frank Church it will keep Lake Pend Oreille at a level enabling Sandpoint water pumps this summer and offer technical help to secure a temporary supply if drought worsens. The plan hinges on modifications to pumping facilities to maintain elevations around 2052 feet, with 2061 before April 1 and 2049 after. Church said the assurances enable orderly city preparations and align with Bonneville Power Administration on protecting Sandpoint’s water supply.

Sandpoint Parks and Beach Committee backed developing Lakeview Park as a family focused area preserving natural beauty. Proposals include walking paths six feet wide, a small amphitheater, tree thinning, and a master plan with Soil Conservation Service input. A dock may be feasible. a swimming area is discouraged due to a nearby sewer plant. Construction unlikely before fall.
