PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Taylor Ditch traverses the southern part of the City of Lander. Past
actions by various parties involved have caused instability problems along
a portion of the canal. A canal failure could result in portions of the
city being flooded. The City of Lander sponsored the project through the
Level II analysis. The Level II analysis determined several potential
solutions to the slide problems and the seepage. The Taylor Ditch is owned
and operated by the Taylor Ditch Company. The ditch company is made up of
the irrigators, the City of Lander, and the golf course joint powers board.
The ditch company is not a public entity and is therefore not eligible to
sponsor a WWDC project. The entities involved are attempting to organize
into a special district to handle the repairs and improvements.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
