2002 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects
| 115. | PROJECT: | South Garden Creek Water Supply | | | | | |
| LEVEL: | New Application |
| SPONSOR: | Central Wyoming Regional Water System Joint
Powers Board |
| LOCATION: | Natrona County |
| PROGRAM: | New Development |
PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Central Wyoming Regional Water System Joint Powers Board in coordination with the City of
Casper, seeks a Level I study to examine the feasibility of adding the South Garden Creek area to the
City of Casper's public water supply system. This area, to the south of Casper (and alongside Casper
Mountain), is populated with approximately 100 residences (of varying age) and each having an
individual well. During recent periods of drought, some wells have gone dry, forcing occupants to
haul water. A study which examines not only the South Garden Creek area, but all the subdivisions
along the mountain face is needed.
Other areas such as Bloody Turnip and Squaw Creek have experienced similar problems in the past
and are located out of the city limits as well. Furthermore, the study would need to examine the
issue of district formation.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated in the New Development Program at Level I
with an appropriation of $100,000.
