PROJECT INFORMATION:
There are approximately 845 persons living in the unincorporated South
Laramie area, with the majority obtaining their water from individual
wells. A number of wells in the area have failed, and reports of septic
tank contamination are common. The homeowners in the area are working
toward a solution to their water supply and sewage treatment problems.
The Level I study conducted in 1991 outlined the proposed service area,
projected population growth, and identified water supply alternatives.
The selected water supply alternative is to purchase treated water from
the City of Laramie.
The Level III project includes the transmission and storage facilities
necessary to deliver Laramie water to the district. The district has
received funds from the Farmer's Home Administration necessary to
construct a portion of the water system and all of the distribution
system. The project was completed in the spring of 1996 and is presently
in service. There are a few punch list items to be addressed. The project
should be closed out early in 1997.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is needed on this project.
