Notice of Public Meeting, Green River/Rock Springs/Sweetwater Co.-Joint Powers Water Board, Crossroads Pump Station Project

The Green River/Rock Springs/Sweetwater Co.-Joint Powers Water Board (JPWB) will conduct a public meeting at 2 p.m. local time, on May 21, 2025, in the Rock Springs City Council Chambers, at 212 D Street, Rock Springs Wyoming. The purpose of the meeting is to allow citizens to review and comment on the Crossroads Pump Station Project. The project's primary purpose is to increase pumping capacity to all areas north of I-80 in Rock Springs. The service area's system is near capacity and this project will improve service to the area. The project will also provide redundancy to the existing pumping/transmission system.

At the meeting, the JPWB will present the preliminary design of the proposed project and will discuss the estimated cost of the improvements and the plan for funding the improvements. A preliminary plan of improvements, cost estimates, and the funding plan can also be reviewed at Sunrise Engineering. Contact Dave Kennington at 307-886-4205.

Based on current cost estimates, the JPWB plans to borrow $ 9,000,000 from the Wyoming Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund administered by the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments. The loan's debt service is to be paid by the City of Rock Springs Water Enterprise Fund. The City of Rock Springs has increased user fees to repay the loan. The average rate increase per user is estimated to be $3.84 per month to repay the loan. Loan terms will be 0.5% interest rate and 20 years.

Written comments are also welcome. Send written comments to Sunrise Engineering 770 S. Washington, Suite A, Afton, WY 83110, by 2 p.m. on May 21, 2025.
