Treated water tanks, known as the tank farm, are located near the water treatment plant south of town. Treated water from the water treatment plant is transported to the city and  stored at the Tank Farm in two 7.75-million-gallon steel tanks.


Why the tank farm needs replacement

Workers dove into the tanks to inspect their condition in June 2023. A study showed that the interior steel floor of the tanks is extensively corroded, exposing the concrete foundation. Despite no signs of movement or leaks, the welds and seams are subpar with no remaining coating. Overall, the floor condition is deemed poor, necessitating tank replacement.


What's next?

The city is working to secure funding to replace the tank farm, which cost an estimated $4.7 million according to the 2024 Wyoming Water Development Commission Level I Study.
