A resolution for the City of Sheridan to co-sponsor a Wyoming Water Development Commission Level Two Study application was considered by the Sheridan City Council at their business meeting this week. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

City Utilities Director Dan Roberts, during his report to the City Council,  said that The Alliance Lateral Ditch is the primary raw water conveyance channel for irrigation users within the Big Goose Valley and Northwest Sheridan, and that growth, development and natural degradation of the ditch over the years, has limited the ditch’s ability to convey untreated irrigation water to users in Northwest Sheridan. Roberts added that most users and potential users, including the City of Sheridan, have resorted to utilizing more costly treated water for their irrigation purposes.

The City Council approved a resolution agreeing to co-sponsor the WWDC Level Two study application with the Sheridan County Conservation District being the main sponsor.

Roberts said the Level Two Study, if approved, will be fully funded by the Wyoming Water Development Commission.
