PROJECT INFORMATION:
The 1994 Master Plan study evaluated various options for expanding Laramie's water supply. The
options included storage, treatment, transmission and distribution system to meet expanding
demands. The study recommended a long-term schedule for improving both the surface and
groundwater supply systems. In 1995 recommendations for Level III construction funding were
made from both the New Development and Rehabilitation accounts.
The 1995 Rehabilitation Program appropriation addressed rehabilitation of an existing storage
facility and Soldier Springs. The storage facility rehabilitation is now complete and the
replacement well at Soldier Springs has been drilled. In 1997, design was completed on the
replacement of portions of the water supply pipeline between the water treatment plant and the
city, replacement of a portion of the raw water pipeline between Sodergreen Lake and the water
treatment plant, and a new pumphouse for the Soldiers Springs replacement well. All three
projects are essentially complete with only clean up work and resolution of electrical interference
with the town of Walden, Colorado remaining.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
