Public Meeting in Cowley Wyoming, May 30, 2024

The South End Water Users Improvement and Service District, in Cowley, Wyoming, will conduct a public meeting at 7:00 p.m. local time on May 30th, 2024, in the South End Water Users Improvement and Service District office located at 433 South 3rd Street East, Cowley, WY. The public meeting will be held prior to the regularly scheduled board meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to allow citizens to review and comment on the following project.

The project includes the design of the Lane 9 Waterline Extension Project which will extend an 8" PVC domestic water line along Lane 9 in Big Horn County, WY, from the intersection of Lane 9 and Road 7, approximately 6 miles to the west. After extending 6 miles to the west, the line would turn north and continue 1.1 miles and tie into the Town of Cowley's West End water line. This new line would provide service to a rural area of Big Horn County that currently has to haul water for domestic use. This project is for the construction phase only.

Based on current cost estimates, the South End Water Users Improvement and Service District intends to borrow $1,750,000 from the Wyoming Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund administered by the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments. The cost of the loan will be paid for by the new customers that will be added into the district as a result of this project. The South End Water Users Improvement and Service District intends to apply for 75% principal forgiveness. Loan terms will be 1.5% interest rate and the term of the loan will be 30 years. In the event principal forgiveness is not available the loan terms will be a 0.5% interest rate with a 30 year loan term.

Written comments are also welcome. Send written comments to the South End Water Users Improvement and Service District. PO Box 743, Cowley, WY 82420 by 7:00 p.m. on May 30, 2024.
