PROJECT INFORMATION:
In 1994 the city of Casper desired to reduce the demand on their present water supply system by
installing a pipeline from the wastewater treatment plant to the North Casper Recreation Complex and
the Casper Soccer Complex for irrigation of the lawns and fields in the complexes. It was estimated that
the project would conserve 120 acre feet per year of Casper's municipal water supply. The project may
also reduce the scope of future water supply projects for Casper or the Regional Joint Powers Board.
WWDC involvement in the project would have been limited to the installation of 2,200 feet of irrigation
water transmission pipeline and appurtenances. The city will fund the pump station at the wastewater
treatment plant and the pump facilities at the complexes from other sources.
In 1994, the Commission recommended that the project be incorporated into the New Development
Program at Level III status with an appropriation of $150,000. The project was shutdown due to some
public concerns on the project. The money reverted back to the WWDC.
The city of Casper has the approval of the public and has now acquired the necessary regulatory
clearances on this project.
Funding for the project was approved in 2000. Design and construction of this project will proceed
during the 2001 construction season.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action required.
