Supplemental water development funding.
Wyoming's SF 82 allocates tens of millions of dollars from the state general fund to specific water development projects and accounts. It transfers $7 million to Water Development Account II, appropriates $25 million for Fontenelle reservoir storage capacity, $21.8 million for Goshen irrigation tunnels, $30 million for LaPrele dam rehabilitation, and smaller amounts for groundwater studies and contingency funds. The bill requires legislative approval before spending on certain projects and specifies that unspent funds must revert to the relevant water development accounts by 2026-2032. These funds directly support water infrastructure projects serving agricultural districts, reservoir operations, and groundwater exploration programs across Wyoming. The bill updates existing funding rules to ensure transparency and accountability in water development spending.
