PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Wheatland Irrigation District received Level III funding for
construction of a headwall, measuring device, and control gates for the
headgates from the Laramie River into the tunnel for Bluegrass Creek.
A portion of the funding was for facilities and equipment for telemetry
communication between the headgate, measuring device, Laramie River
Diversion Dam, and the district office in Wheatland. When construction
bids for the project were opened, the district eliminated the telemetry
communication from the project in order to have the structural work
completed. Construction of the headwall, measuring device, and control
gates was completed prior to the 1999 irrigation season. The sponsor is
pursuing district court approval for the increased project budget to
proceed with installation of the telemetry system.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
