In
1915 the City of Billings purchased its waterworks from Montana
Water Company at a cost of $315,000. The original waterworks plant
was built in 1886-87, and at that time, the City had a population
of approximately one thousand.
Since then the City of Billings Water Treatment Facility (aka Gerald
D. Underwood Water Treatment Plant) has continued to expand in an
ongoing effort to keep up with the growth of Billings. The source
of supply for the City's waterworks is the Yellowstone River. The
nominal capacity of the water treatment plant is about 50 million
gallons per day (MGD). Daily average usage is approximately 24 MGD,
however at peak times during the summer months the plant will process
at capacity-50MGD.
Water is pumped from the plant to eleven different zones within
the City, and a 600-foot elevation differential exists between the
highest and lowest portions of the City's water service area. The
plant currently services approximately 115,000 people.
Current
Expansion
In 2005 the City of Billings contracted with COP Construction LLC,
a prominent, local, municipal general contractor to both renovate
and expand the Underwood facility. This is a very technically challenging
project in many respects, especially in light of the fact that this
is a renovation/expansion around an ongoing operation. The completed
project is estimated at $17 million and will take about two years
to complete. When completed, the treatment plant's capacity will
increase about 20% or to a capacity of 60MGD. This should serve
the City's population well into the future.
