Written and electronic comments on the topics WDEQ/WQD is considering, as well as feedback on any other aspects of the revisions to the State of Wyoming Capacity Development Strategy, may be submitted beginning December 3, 2021 and ending at 5:00 p.m. (MST) on January 3, 2022.

The Capacity Development Program evaluates the technical, financial, and managerial resources of community and non-transient non-community public water systems (PWS). A PWS that is able to demonstrate capacity development will have adequate resources to ensure their ongoing, successful operation and continuing ability to provide safe drinking water to their customers.

Chapter 22 of the Wyoming Water Quality Rules and Regulations lists the requirements for demonstrating Capacity Development. All community and non-transient, non-community PWS must meet capacity development requirements before a construction permit can be issued or before they can be considered eligible for Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loans.

The Governor's Report on the Capacity Development Program (triennial report) provides a detailed description of the Capacity Development Program and explains how the State of Wyoming is assisting public water supplies with attaining and maintaining capacity development.

Which PWS Need to Demonstrate Capacity Development?

All applicants for DWSRF loans.  Fill out the Capacity Assessment and additional Financial Worksheets.

All new PWS.  Fill out the Capacity Assessment.

All community and non-transient non-community PWS applying for a permit to construct.  Fill out the Capacity Assessment Worksheets below. If your system has already demonstrated capacity development, contact Bill Tillman or Stan Miller to determine if your construction project requires an update.

Forms and instructions are available for download below.

The Wyoming State Revolving Funds Program (SRF) consists of two separate loan funds that assist public entities with funding for water or wastewater infrastructure improvement projects. Our team assists public entities with loan application process for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and/or the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. 

SRF loans are normally at 2.5% interest with terms up to 20 years. SRF loans may be at even lower interest rates and/or include forgiveness of a portion of the principal.

 

SRF loans do not require any matching funds and can even serve as matching funds for various grant programs such as Mineral Royalty Grants and the Wyoming Water Development Commission.

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund is for drinking water systems, including source, treatment plant, storage tank, and transmission and distribution line projects.  Public entities using drinking water revolving loan monies must meet Capacity Development requirements.

The Clean Water State Revolving Fund is for sanitary sewer treatment and collection, storm water control, landfill water pollution control, and other water pollution control projects.
