Council hears water‑system progress, PFAS testing and staffing recommendation from Water Utility Board

Town Administrator Aitken told the Council the town has completed installation of 312 residential water meters to date and anticipates an increased pace once the road season winds down; she noted a 10–12% failure rate among replaced old meters. A first round of PFAS testing submitted to the Wyoming DEQ is expected to return results within 30 days, and a second round is planned for the end of September. Aitken also said the engineering plans for the Prater Canyon transmission line replacement have been submitted to the U.S. Forest Service, which requested additional project details; the project will need to go out for bid when permitting is complete.
