For the winter of 2004, the East Logan Water District planned a small system extension project near the Plainview area of Logan County. The contract includes the installation of approximately three miles of water line along three separate rural roadways, northeast of Russellville. Upon completion, the project will serve ten unserved residences as well as thirty existing residences. A portion of the project will upgrade an existing 4-inch bottleneck to an 8-inch waterline in order to improve hydraulic pressure in the Plainview community. McGhee Engineering is assisting the District the design engineer, resident inspector, and construction administrator.
The Russellville-Logan County Airport presently has limited means for aircraft to taxi out onto their 4,000 linear foot runway. To enhance the safety and functionality of the airport, McGhee Engineering has assisted the Board in securing funding and with the design and planning for a new 1,670 linear foot partial parallel taxiway, which conforms to approved ALP and FAA specifications. During construction of the structure, McGhee Engineering will serve as Project Manager and provide resident inspection services.

US 431 North/Green Ridge-Spa Rd. Water Extensions

A large area of Logan County, north of Lewisburg, along heavily traveled US Highway 431 is without public water service. Both the Todd County Water District and the Muhlenberg County Water District serve portions of the area, but a substantial area remains unserved. Many residents of this unserved area have reported inadequate or poor-quality wells, and some are required to haul water to supply their needs. The proposed project will extend the Lewisburg water system to serve nearly 30 new customers who are currently without water. The proposed project, which is estimated to cost $316,000, includes the extension of over 7 miles of water pipeline along multiple unserved roadways. McGhee Engineering assisted the City with securing the financing and is serving as the design engineer, resident inspector, and construction administrator.
