Omnibus water bill-construction.

Wyoming's SF 70 authorizes state funding for five specific water infrastructure projects in 2026, directly affecting communities like Alpine, Gillette, and LaGrange, as well as agricultural districts. The bill provides grants covering up to 50% of project costs (with sponsors contributing the remaining 50%) from the Water Development Account I, including $210,000 for Alpine's pipeline, $2.56 million for Gillette's tank, and $370,000 for LaGrange's well connection. It also includes funding for a cloud-seeding program to enhance snowpack and a forest management project, requiring sponsors to secure 100% of operational costs for the cloud-seeding initiative. All appropriated funds must be spent by July 2031, with unspent amounts reverting to the Water Development Account I.
