Bill > SF0070

This bill authorizes and funds various water development projects across Wyoming, including new construction and rehabilitation efforts for municipal and agricultural water supplies, and also includes a cloud seeding project. It specifies the project sponsors, purposes, descriptions, total budgets, and the amount of state grants or loans provided from designated water development accounts, often requiring local sponsors to contribute matching funds. The bill also amends existing appropriations for prior projects by extending their deadlines, transfers $16 million from Water Development Account I to Account II, and facilitates the transfer of a test well to the city of Douglas under specific reimbursement terms. Additionally, it appropriates funds for a study on the impact of forest management on water yield and mandates a study on improving the efficiency and reducing costs of the small water project program, with reports due to the select water committee.
