LEVEL:II-Hold
SPONSOR:Green River-Rock Springs-Sweetwater County Joint Powers Water Board
LOCATION:Sweetwater County
PROGRAM:New Development
  
EXISTING LEGISLATION:
Purpose Chapter Session Account Appropriation Due Date
Level I 8 1995 I $50,000   1996

PROJECT INFORMATION:
Several areas east of Rock Springs would like to receive water from the Rock Springs water supply system. In order to supply water to the area, a new transmission pipeline would be required. In particular, the Arrowhead Springs subdivision, located 4.5 miles southeast of the city, is in need of a centralized water supply. SF Industries may be interested in participating in the project. Further, the Sweetwater County Airport, located 7 miles east of Rock Springs, would 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.
