Senate advances $8M study to fix aging wastewater and stormwater systems
A measure to spend $8 million to assess what it would take to fix aging wastewater and stormwater infrastructure sailed out of the Senate Agriculture, State and Public Lands and Water Resources Committee on a unanimous vote. Senate File 69, “Waste and storm water infrastructure study,” would tap the Strategic Investments and Projects Account and support a four-year statewide assessment to help town and state officials determine exact needs and costs, according to the bill’s proponents. Some estimate that upgrading municipal water systems across the state (Wyo.) could cost billions of dollars.
