Public gets Wyoming water study data

Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming owns all data collected or created for the study, including digital map layers and descriptions. Agreements with outside study providers must require complete data files in open or widely used formats suitable for government use. Those files must support bulk export. The Department of Environmental Quality must provide public access and downloads through a state-designated website or data collection. Information that is confidential or legally privileged under state or federal law does not have to be disclosed.

Wyoming funds statewide water systems study

Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming requires a statewide study of public wastewater and stormwater systems. The Department of Environmental Quality must make or update an agreement with the Office of State Lands and Investments. The study runs alongside ongoing drinking-water data collection. The lands office and Wyoming Water Development Office must help coordinate the work. Cities, towns, special districts, and counties must provide requested water, wastewater, and stormwater information; households have no reporting duty. The department must report progress to the Select Water Committee by November 1 each year from 2026 through 2030. The law provides $8 million to the lands office from the Strategic Investments and Projects Account, including money for consultants. If that account is repealed effective on or before July 1, 2026, the General Fund provides the same amount instead. The General Fund appropriation does not occur if the designated account supplies the money. Funds are available from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030, and cannot be transferred or spent for other purposes. Any unspent, uncommitted balance returns as required by law on June 30, 2030. Lawmakers intend this funding to stay outside the lands office’s standard budget for the following two-year budget period. This funds a study, not new household services or payments.
