Clarence Cannon Wholesale Water Commission
• Small water treatment facilities were having difficulty meeting
drinking water quality requirements due to lack of operational
and financial resources, and needed upgrades
• Many of these treatment plants were in need of repair and
replacement; small facilities relatively expensive to operate
The Need
The Members
• Water Commission was established in 1983
• Currently has 15 municipal members and 9 rural water district
members
Clarence Cannon Wholesale Water Commission
• The Commission draws water from the
North Fork of the Salt River in Mark Twain
Lake
• The watershed covers 626 square miles
Current Service Capacity
The Watershed
• 10 MGD treatment capacity
• 6 tanks and standpipes/5 booster pump stations
• 325 miles of water transmission mains
• Serves 14 counties in Northeastern Missouri
• Initial construction complete in 1992

Treatment
Plant
Northwest Missouri Water Supply Project
• Groundwater availability is limited in the region
• Many small communities have been faced with difficulty
meeting drinking water standards, capital costs, staffing needs,
operation and maintenance needs
The Need
Evolution of an Idea
• The proposed project was initially a large-scale design
concept including transmission lines through 11 counties
• Smaller regional projects
• Atchison County Wholesale Water Commission
• Cameron Pipeline Project
• Little Otter Lake Wholesale Water Commission
Atchison County Wholesale Water Commission
• The Commission was originally part of the Northwest Missouri
Water Study
New Facilities
• 2.5 MGD capacity treatment plant and 3 groundwater wells;
construction complete in 2013
• 15 service connections, 1 rural water district and 3 municipal
members, serving a population of 2,951
The Need
Current Work
• MDNR and the Corps initiated a Water Marketing and
Availability Study in June of 2014 to further assess water supply
need in surrounding counties
• Cameron was originally part of the Northwest Missouri Water
Study and saw an immediate need to address local water
demands
• New water main will transmit water from Missouri American
Water in St. Joseph to the customers of Cameron, Maysville and
Stewartsville
The Need
Current Work
• The project recently secured financial assistance through
USDA Rural Development to fund the construction of a 36-mile
transmission main, a pump station and storage tanks
Great Northwest Wholesale Water Commission
• Nearly 100% of the County is susceptible to severe drought
and undependable water sources, including businesses and
over 9,000 residents
• Some residents must buy and haul water in times of drought
• Estimated average annual flood damages of $63,000; flooding
impacts up to 625 acres of agricultural land
The Need
• Sponsored by Caldwell County Commission
• ½ cent County Wide Sales Tax raised over $2 million to date
• State and federal funding assistance
Little Otter Creek Reservoir Project
The Support
• Provide 1.24 million gallons water per
day
• Dependable water supply for residents
and businesses in Caldwell County
• Reduced flooding and flood damages
downstream
Little Otter Creek Reservoir Project
The Benefits
• In 2015, MDNR and the Little Otter Lake Wholesale Water Commission initiated a preliminary water treatment and transmission study
• Estimated reservoir construction to begin in 2016 and completion in 2018
Current Work
• Project planning began more than 20
years ago
• Property acquisition complete or under
contract
• Environmental Impact Statement Record
of Decision in May 2003
• Funding for cost-share for land rights
acquisition, in the amount of $150,000,
provided in 2006
• Geologic investigation completed in
2008
• Jurisdictional Determination 2009
• MO DNR Funding of $250,000
• NRCS funding for construction in the
amount of $5,084,000
• NRCS funding for consultant to assist in
SEIS in the amount of $500,000
• Final Design 98% Complete
• Supplemental EIS (SEIS) Notice of Intent
published December 2013, NRCS Lead
Agency
• SEIS coordination with US EPA and US
Army Corps of Engineers progressing
Little Otter Creek Watershed Project
Milestones
• City of Fayette
• City of New Franklin
• Howard County Consolidated Public Water Supply District #1
• Thomas Hill Public Water Supply District #1 (Associate Member)
Howard County Wholesale Water Commission
The Need
The Members
• In 2009, the Commission secured grant funds for preparation of a
Preliminary Engineering Report (MDNR Engineering Report
Services Grant) that provided a design for water supply, storage,
treatment and transmission
• In 2014, engineering plans and specifications for system
construction were approved
Howard County Wholesale Water Commission
• The Commission secured USDA-RD low interest
loan/grant and CDBG grants for construction
• Contractor bids for construction were received July
2015
• Construction will include 2 new alluvial wells,
distribution mains, an elevated storage tank and a
lime softening water treatment plant
• Construction is scheduled to begin early Fall 2015

The Need
North Central Missouri Regional Water
Commission
• Groundwater availability is limited in the region and
many water supplies are susceptible to drought
impacts
• Many small communities are faced with difficulty
meeting drinking water standards, capital costs,
staffing needs, operation and maintenance needs
• The region is faced with declining populations and
aging utility infrastructure
• MDNR and the Corps have recently initiated a Water
Reliability Study in north central Missouri
(17 Counties)
• The North Central Missouri Regional Water
Commission plans to construct a water supply
reservoir, with 6.75 MGD capacity (East Locust
Creek Reservoir)
• The Commission has acquired approximately 90%
of the land needed for construction
Current Work
North Central Missouri Regional Water
Commission
• Southwest Missouri has an increasing demand for water due
to significant population growth
• Joplin’s source of water is vulnerable in drought
• There are many small water treatment facilities facing more
stringent drinking water standards and aging infrastructure
The Need
Past Work
• MDNR, the Corps and Tri-State have been working in the
region over a decade, examining
• Regional demands
• Potential new water supply sources

• The US Army Corp of Engineers is examining the
possibility of reallocating storage
• Stockton and Pomme de Terre Lakes
(current Corps reallocation study)
• Table Rock Lake is under consideration as a
reallocation water supply source
• In 2015, MDNR and the Corps initiated a study to
further analyze local water demands and supply
capacity

In Review…
The Importance of Planning
• Federal, State, and Local investment in regional water
supply development should be high priority and
continuous
• Scales to consider: watershed, county, multi-county;
look for partnership opportunities
• Regional water project planning is lengthy; start early
and persevere
• Updating the State Water Plan is key
• Water security for Missouri
