PROJECT INFORMATION:
Several areas east of Rock Springs, including the Arrowhead Springs Subdivisions, are interested
in constructing a centralized water system. In order to supply water to the area, a new
transmission pipeline would be required to transmit water from Rock Springs. SF Industries may
be interested in participating in the project. Further, the Sweetwater County Airport, located 7
miles east of Rock Springs, would also like water service.
The Level I study delineated a service area and provided preliminary designs and cost estimates
for the pipeline.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC is recommending that the project remain on Level II-Hold status.
