Bill > HB0087

This bill appropriates funds for various water development projects across Wyoming, authorizing both Level I reconnaissance studies, which are initial assessments, and Level II feasibility studies, which delve deeper into project viability, for both new development and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. Specifically, it allocates funds for master plans in several towns like Grover, Kemmerer-Diamondville, Laramie, Medicine Bow, Pine Bluffs, Superior, Worland, and Yoder, as well as a statewide water research program, and regional supply studies in Bedford and Turnerville. Additionally, it designates funds for rehabilitation studies, including an irrigation district master plan in Shoshone and evaluations of irrigation laterals in Casper Alcova and transmission systems in Wheatland. The bill also provides funding for the office of water programs and extends the deadline for completing certain dam and reservoir feasibility studies, adjusting their appropriations accordingly, with all unexpended funds generally reverting to designated water development accounts by July 1, 2029, unless otherwise specified.
