SF 75 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Omnibus water bill-construction.

This bill authorizes three specific water projects in Wyoming: (1) a $3.6 million municipal/rural water supply project in Big Horn County, with the state covering up to 50% of costs ($1.8 million in grants); (2) an aerial cloud seeding program to boost snowpack in the Medicine Bow/Sierra Madre ranges ($825,000 state appropriation); and (3) a ground-based cloud seeding program for the Wind River/Sierra Madre ranges ($298,651 state appropriation). The Big Horn project requires the sponsor to cover 50% of costs from other sources, while cloud seeding projects require Wyoming water users to fund operational costs exceeding state appropriations. Funds for these projects are drawn from Wyoming's water development accounts, with unspent funds reverting to the accounts or general fund by 2026-2029.
