406 Forum: Wastewater disposal options in Big Sky

in Opinion
Outlaw Partnersby Outlaw Partners
April 29, 2016

One option the Big Sky Water and Sewer District is exploring to address the community’s wastewater disposal issue is obtaining a DEQ permit and building a pipeline to the Gallatin River. This would allow them to discharge treated wastewater into the Gallatin, as is done downstream in Bozeman.

Is this a wastewater disposal option you would support?

“As long as it doesn’t hurt the fish … It’s gray water, it’s not poisonous, it’s not toxic, but it’s not drinkable … I would support it as long as it doesn’t hurt the ecosystem. What other option do we have?”

“I would if it solved a problem, but I personally like to keep things how they were rather than manipulating them for human use … I think [expanding wastewater capacity would create] more business opportunities, but I don’t know enough about it.”

“It’s a terrible idea … you’ve got a 55-mile, immaculate stretch [of river] from here to Bozeman. I wouldn’t want to see that affected … I don’t understand why they [have] a golf course that’s sprayed with a million of gallons of effluent but they can’t ski on snow that’s been made with effluent.”
