The City of Rapid City proposes to update its Water Master Plan, Wastewater Master Plan, and develop a Water System Modeling Program and a Wastewater System Modeling Program to provide for planned systematic growth of the Citys utility infrastructure. The Citys current wastewater master plan was adopted in 1979 and the water master plan was adopted in 1985. These plans projected the communitys utility requirements for 20 years. During these 20 year time frames interim planning and design documents were developed to determine the utility requirements in localized areas of the community. The updated master planning documents will incorporate these localized plans and project the Citys utility infrastructure needs for the next 20 to 25 years. In conjunction with the development of utility master plans the City also proposes to develop Water System and Wastewater System Modeling Programs. These programs will provide the City and development community with a modeling tool that will allow for a holistic cohesive approach to utility planning and design. The City currently has no comprehensive water or wastewater modeling programs.
