PROJECT INFORMATION:
The 1990 census indicates Cody has a population of 7,897, but the city
reports considerable growth in the past three years. The present
estimated population is 8,200. In addition, the areas around Cody are
becoming more populated. The areas are presently served by shallow
groundwater of poor quality. The city has requested WWDC assistance in
the form of a Level II study to determine the feasibility of expanding
its water service area to include three adjacent rural areas. These
areas include both residential and industrial water users.
Part of the Level II study has been completed and an interim report has
been rafted. The Level II study is evaluating alternatives for Cody to
expand its existing system to serve the surrounding areas. Conceptual
designs and cost estimates have been prepared for the proposed Valley
View annexation area. Valley View is southwest of the Cody city limits.
The interim report recommended a storage and transmission main
improvements to enable the city to service Valley View and provide
better pressure to residents currently within the city limits of Cody.
The Valley View improvements are currently under design and final plan
reviews are in progress. Construction should take place in the spring of
1997.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
