<br />000818 C . . <br /> <br />to purchase Stage III water as described by Section 2, Chapter 72, <br />Session Laws of Wyoming 1980. <br /> <br />In April, 1981 the WWDC held public hearings in Casper, Rawlins, Baggs, <br />and Rock Springs for the purpose of receiving input from those citizens <br />affected by the proposed projects. Many objections, corrections, and <br />alternative recommendations were voiced as well as support for the pro- <br />posed projects. In an effort to comply with the enacted legislation and <br />to respond to comments from the affected public, the Wyoming Water Develop- <br />ment Commission has prepared this supplementary report. In this report <br />WWDC has attempted to outline all of the Stage III alternatives by <br />identifying the system recommended in the Banner report and those alter- <br />natives which have been developed by WWDC in response to public input. <br /> <br />Embodied in this report are summaries of four alternatives, each of <br />which will comply with legislative directive in that all provide in-basin <br />storage as well as out-af-basin transfer of water. The costs, amounts <br />of water produced, and environmental involvement vary from alternative to <br />alternative. The WWDC will hold another set of public hearings before <br />formulating any recommendations to the legislature. <br /> <br />In analyzing these alternatives, please keep in mind that the projected <br />costs for water in this report do not reflect the following items: <br /> <br />The final cost to each consumer is dependent upon the amount of <br />State assistance and on the actual type of financing utilized in <br />developing the project. <br /> <br />Those alternatives with the capacity to provide for municipal as <br />well as industrial and agricultural water contain no price desparity <br />for industry. Industrial users could pay an increased rate for <br />water and thus lessen the cost to municipalities and agriculture. <br /> <br />Any questions or comments should be directed to the Wyoming Water <br />Development Commission, 4th Floor, Barrett Building, Cheyenne, Wyoming <br />82002.
