PROJECT INFORMATION:
The recently completed South Garden Creek Level I Study looked at the potential of adding the
area south of Casper (and alongside Casper Mountain) to the City of Casper's public water supply
system. Five unique service areas were identified in the Level I Study, including: Squaw
Creek/Wolf Creek, South Garden Creek, Elkhorn Valley, Coates Road and Pursel Lands. The
preferred water supply source for the Pursel Lands service area was identified as the City of
Casper water system as an outside City retail water customer. The main City supply would be
provided from a 12-inch transmission pipeline constructed under the highway from the Skyline
Ranches area. Two other connections would be made to 6-inch and 8-inch water lines in Red
Butte Village. Note: Distribution elements of system to be funded separately through SLIB,
RUS, etc. (i.e. - meter services/fire hydrants $245,025).

$341,000. The remaining 50% of the project is to be secured by the sponsor through other
sources.
