Water Conservancy Act
Wyoming · Water · §§ 41-3-701 to 41-3-779 · 41 sections
Overview
The Water Conservancy Act provides a framework for creating local water conservancy districts as public corporations, formed by petition to a district court, with notice, protest, and hearing procedures leading to a decree of incorporation and the appointment of a board of directors. The board is empowered to acquire property and rights-of-way, contract for and allot water to landowners, form subdistricts, and add or remove land from the district. Districts fund themselves through classified taxes and assessments levied on property and water users, collected by local taxing officers with provisions for objections, exemptions, delinquency sales, and sinking funds to cover indebtedness.
