SF 69 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Waste and storm water infrastructure study.

This bill requires Wyoming's Department of Environmental Quality to study the state's wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, coordinating with the Office of State Lands and Investments. Local governments (cities, towns, counties) must provide infrastructure data upon request, and the study will be funded by an $8 million appropriation through 2030. The department must report annual progress to the Water Committee from 2026 to 2030, with the study concluding by June 2030. This is a data-gathering effort, not a policy change, with no direct regulatory impact on residents or businesses.
