Williston first noticed this increasing activity level beginning in 2004. To prepare, the city increased major infrastructure capacity for up to 40% more population. We have since far exceeded that excess capacity, and are working with the Governor and Legislature to further extend our water, sewer, and road infrastructure for workforce housing and industry facility needs. The City of Williston has committed over one million dollars in studies addressing the impact and future needs of the community.

Local resources are in deficit and are overwhelmed, Willistons portion of State oil and gas tax formula funding is $1.5 million per year or .075 % of total State oil and gas collections.
