2002 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects
| 19. | PROJECT: | Byron Raw Water | | | | | |
| LEVEL: | New Application |
| SPONSOR: | Town of Byron, Incorporated
Municipality |
| LOCATION: | Big Horn |
| PROGRAM: | Rehabilitation |
PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Town of Byron currently has an open, lined ditch that is used by residents to irrigate residential
lawns. The system has been in place for many years and consistently causes problems for town
personnel. The system is prone to flooding caused by backwater from debris plugs in culverts and is
inefficient. Additionally, due to a recent accident involving a small child, residents are concerned
about the safety associated with open ditches. The town would like to replace the ditch with pipe.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the Rehabilitation Program at Level II
with an appropriation of $40,000.
