The Wyoming Water Development Commission maintains a database of public water systems, both municipal and non-municipal, in the state of Wyoming. A survey is conducted every two years, alternating with the irrigation survey, and the results are used to update the database. This survey also provides important information for the agency's funding criteria and aids in prioritizing the funds available for feasiblity studies and project construction. This information also allows public water systems to compare operational issues, water rates, conservation measures, and general information with others around the state.
