Company Description:
The City of McCall is a rapidly growing four season resort community located in the central mountains of Idaho, approximately 100 miles north of Boise. Nationally recognized for its beautiful location and year-round recreational opportunities, McCall is making its mark as a world class destination. In addition to a multitude of recreational activities, McCall also has superior parks, schools, health services, and cultural activities.
Public Works
The Public Works provides 24-hour per day, 7-day a-week operations, maintenance and emergency response coverage for City water, wastewater, transportation, and stormwater drainage facilities. The Department prides itself on being responsive to the public as its staff works to implement City goals.
Streets Department
Streets Department employees are the stewards of over 40 miles of City streets, including snow removal, sanding, street sweeping, signing and pavement marking, pothole repair, chip sealing, dust abatement, and shoulder maintenance. The Department also maintains City stormwater infrastructure, including ditches, culverts, and storm drainage piping. Department crews often assist McCall Police Department and McCall Fire District employees in responding to accidents and other incidents. Crews coordinate their efforts with the Idaho Department of Transportation and Valley County. They also assist other City departments, including the McCall Municipal Airport and the Parks and Recreation Department as needed.
The Department also manages the use of the right-of-way by private entities, including developers, builders and utility companies. Staff manages the issuance of right-of-way permits for construction within the City right-of-way to preserve the public investment in pavement, ensure best practices are used, and to coordinate between activities to minimize disruption to the transportation system.
Water Department
The Water Department is responsible for treating and distributing potable water for the citizens of McCall. This includes:
Operation of the City water treatment plant (6 million gallon per day capacity);
Operation of two raw water pump stations (Legacy Park and Davis Beach);
Reading approximately 2,500 water meters monthly;
The maintenance and repair of over 35 miles of water mains, over 300 fire hydrants and numerous service connections.
The City water system is expanding rapidly to provide better service and to accommodate growth. City crews work with property owners, builders and developers to resolve service issues and ensure that new construction complies with City standards.
Wastewater Department
The Wastewater Department operates and maintains the City wastewater collection system and the wastewater treatment plant, the "J-Ditch Phase 2" effluent storage facility and the "J-Ditch Phase 1" effluent land application system. We are responsible for 30 miles of sewer pipe with over 2,100 connections, 850 manholes, thirteen (13) sewer lift stations, and the wastewater treatment facilities. As the City is one of the few municipal entities not permitted by the Federal government to discharge to the waters of the United States, we deliver our treated effluent to a land application system, where the effluent is blended with irrigation water (2 parts ditch water to one part effluent) and applied to almost 2,500 acres of crop land under contract.
