Omnibus water bill-planning.
Wyoming's SF 82 authorizes approximately $2.1 million in state funds for specific water planning studies through 2028. It directs the Water Development Commission to conduct reconnaissance studies for new water projects (like the Hulett Water Master Plan in Crook County) and rehabilitation of irrigation systems (such as the Pioneer Canal and Wheatland Irrigation Districts), plus a feasibility study for a dam on the Middle Popo Agie River. Funds must be spent by July 1, 2028, or revert to the water development accounts, with reports required for each study before the 2027 legislative session. The bill directly affects water commissions and specific irrigation districts across Wyoming by funding their planning processes.
