PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Wheatland Irrigation District received Level III funding for construction of a headsail,
measuring device, and control gates for the headgates from the Laramie River into the tunnel for
Bluegrass Creek. A portion of the funding was used to finance installation of telemetry
communication equipment. This equipment enables the district to monitor and/or operate system
components at their office in Wheatland. Construction of the headsail and water control works is
complete. Installation of the telemetry equipment should be complete prior to the 2001 irrigation
season.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
