Owners of Lakeside alpine coaster seek permission for public water supply well

The owners of the Flathead Lake Alpine Coaster are seeking state permission to turn a private well at the Lakeside attraction into a public supply well.

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality is seeking public comment on the proposal, submitted by Wilderness Land Holdings LLC, and on the recently completed Draft Environmental Assessment. Comments are due by Feb. 28.

The project, as per the Draft Environmental Assessment, would see the well on the property turned into a public supply well with the installation of a pressure tank and other electrical and mechanical equipment in an existing building.
