PROJECT INFORMATION:
The 1994 Master Plan study evaluated various options for expanding
Laramie's water supply, storage, treatment, transmission and
distribution system to meet expanding demands. The study recommended a
long-term schedule for improving both the surface and groundwater supply
systems. Recommendations for Level III construction funding were made
from both the New Development and Rehabilitation accounts.
The 1995 new development recommendation addressed the conversion of an
existing test well to production status and the construction of
monitoring wells at the LaPrele site. This work has been completed.
The 1996 recommendation provided for the construction of two production
wells at the Spur site, a pipeline to connect the well field to the city
distribution system, and a new storage tank. In 1997 the two Spur wells
were drilled, developed, and an extensive pump test was conducted. The
design and construction of the pump houses and pipeline to connect the
two new wells to the city distribution system is scheduled for 1998.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
