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 completed a study
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.
This is a two-year study with the final report due May 2003.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
