Water development projects.

FISCAL NOTE

This bill provides for new water source of supply projects to be included in the Wyoming Water Development Program. While the amount of funding needed for such projects is currently unknown, it is assumed that the cost would be similar to the existing Small Water Project Program. Based on this assumption, the annual cost of such projects is estimated at $250,000 per year. It is assumed that such projects would be funded through appropriations, similar to those that have been historically provided to the Small Water Project Program.
