1996 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Project Reports

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The rural areas around Lander typically obtain their water from wells, which are of poor quality and quantity, or they haul their water from Lander. Several areas, including Tweed Lane, South of Lander, Northeast of Lander, and Baldwin Creek, have approached the city requesting water service. However, the city is uncertain whether their system can reliably meet these and other future water service demands. They have requested a Level I master plan to serve as a planning tool to respond to these requests.

The Level I study is assessing the economical limits of expanded service area, determining the water supply needs of that area, and evaluating the capability of Lander's existing water supply to meet those needs. Further, preliminary designs and cost estimates are being developed for the identified alternatives. The Level I Master Plan for Lander is scheduled to be completed in late spring or early summer of 1996.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required on this project.
