Active Projects
51. | PROJECT: | Greybull Raw Water | | | | | |
| LEVEL: | New Application |
| SPONSOR: | Town of Greybull, Incorporated
Municipality |
| LOCATION: | Big Horn |
| PROGRAM: | New Development |
PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Town of Greybull would like a study to determine the feasibility and cost of putting in a raw
water irrigation system for town parks, greenways and residential lawns. The Town of Greybull
holds surface water rights on Shell Creek but does not currently use them because of high surface
water treatment costs and increasing government standards. Greybull is currently operating at or near
full capacity during summer peak months and during the summer of 2001 had to implement watering
restrictions in the town to relieve the pressure on the water system. A raw water system would
relieve demand on the town's potable system and allow for future growth and expansion of Greybull.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the New Development Program at Level II
with an appropriation of $50,000.
