Omnibus water bill-planning.
HB 104 allocates $4.8 million in state funds to conduct planning studies for water development projects across Wyoming. It authorizes specific Level I reconnaissance studies (for new projects) and Level II feasibility studies (for new projects), plus rehabilitation planning studies, targeting 12 water districts and regional plans in counties like Lincoln, Sweetwater, and Park. The bill specifies exact funding amounts for each project (e.g., $286,000 for Douglas Water Master Plan, $235,000 for Strawberry Canal Master Plan) and requires reports to the legislature by 2026. Unspent funds must revert to the water development account by 2027, and it transfers $397,514 from the general fund to support these efforts. This bill focuses on preliminary planning, not construction or implementation.
