Reservoir, water delivery system and road sequencing

What is the current status, timeline and funding plan for Greenwood’s water reservoir replacement and the water delivery system, including pipes, valves, leak detection and water-main repairs? Can candidates clarify whether road repairs are being sequenced behind underground pipe work, and whether any future grants for pipe or road work depend on completing the reservoir project first?

Source note: March 9, 2026 Committee of the Whole budget/asset-management materials list the Water Reservoir Project as ongoing; identify the potable water system as 17.5 km of pipe, one reservoir, five wells and 157 valves; list water quality/cross-contamination, leak detection and water main breaks as risks; and list Water Reservoir Replacement plus water main repairs after leak detection as major projects. Ledge has not yet verified the resident-supplied claim that road repairs or pipe grants are formally conditional on reservoir completion, so candidates are being asked to clarify that sequence.

Anaconda water supply, wooden pipe and HDPE sleeving

Can candidates and current council clarify whether Anaconda’s water supply includes an older wooden pipe or other aging line, whether the City has considered or used HDPE sleeving/pull-through repair methods, whether any crossing of Highway 3 is involved, and what the cost/risk comparison is between proactive maintenance and waiting for a failure?

Resident-supplied detail; not yet verified in public records. Ledge is asking candidates/council to clarify.

Downtown traffic, business incentives and marketing

Would you support lower downtown speed limits, child/pedestrian warning signage, business-license incentives for new businesses, Chamber membership incentives, and a City-supported marketing page for available retail/commercial space, accommodations and investment opportunities?
