Active Projects
24. | PROJECT: | Cheyenne Hydro Power | | | | | |
| LEVEL: | New Application |
| SPONSOR: | City of Cheyenne |
| LOCATION: | Laramie County |
| PROGRAM: | New Development |
PROJECT INFORMATION:
The City of Cheyenne would like to pursue a detailed cost analysis of placing hydropower generators
in their municipal water system. Their system has several reservoir dams and pressure reduction
points with flow and pressure potential to generate power. The City had a study done in 1980 on the
feasibility of hydropower generation in the water treatment plant feed lines. This new study would
update and expand that original 1980 study. This study will also include a study or the transmission
requirements to get the generated power to a power user.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the Rehabilitation Program at Level II
with an appropriation of $60,000.
