Presenters said the Behan and Foley capital project was initiated after petitioned complaints and a board-of-determination found a watershed-level need; the state drain code allows only $10,000 per mile per year for maintenance before capital procedures are required and appeals can contest apportionment within 10 days.

What stands out in Wyoming

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Wyoming with communities in Michigan or of similar population size. Surprises are where the measured figure was unusually far from what Polco's model expected. Each fact gives its year; public data runs one to two years behind.

In 2022, Wyoming's overall financial strength was 79 out of 100; Polco's model expected 95 out of 100. It fell short of expectations.
