109. | PROJECT: | Sheridan Hydro Power | | | | | |
| LEVEL: | New Application |
| SPONSOR: | City of Sheridan |
| LOCATION: | Sheridan County |
| PROGRAM: | New Development |
PROJECT INFORMATION:
The City of Sheridan would like to pursue a detailed cost analysis of the rehabilitation of its 16 inch
raw water feed line and a detailed cost analysis to determine the feasibility and cost of placing
hydropower generators in their raw water system. Their system has three raw water supply lines that
are potential sources of hydropower pressure. The Beckton Hall pressure reduction vault has both 20
and 30 inch lines. These two lines run 250 psi dropped to 85 psi. The vault was designed with
hydropower in mind. The third vault has the 16 inch line with current corrosion problems. The
corrosion in this line has severely restricted the flow. Line cleaning or replacement options will be
part of the study. This study will also include a study or the transmission requirements to get the
generated power to a power user.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the Rehabilitation Program at Level II
with an appropriation of $50,000.
