INTRODUCTION
This Technical Memorandum provides water use information for the following 33 municipal, district or private water systems that furnish water for municipal and domestic use to their residents.
No municipalities obtain their water supply from a surface source in the Northeast Wyoming River Basins Planning Area. Municipal entities that obtain their primary water supply from groundwater are:
The divide between the Northeast Wyoming River Basins Planning Area and the Powder/Tongue River Basin Planning Area passes through the City of Gillette. Gillette is included in this Basin Plan because their Madison well field is in this planning area, and most of their in-city wells are also in this planning area. The district and private water systems around Gillette were broken into the two planning areas based on their location.
METHODOLOGY
Primarily, information was obtained for the various entities from WWDC's 2000 Water System Survey Report and direct communications with the entity. A draft form outlining water use for each system was prepared from information contained in the Water Supply Survey Report, and was submitted to the entity for their review and comments. Accompanying the draft form, was a brief questionnaire asking for additional information on their water supply system and wastewater discharge (potential return of a portion of their water supply to a surface water). Follow-up calls were made to systems that did not respond to the mailing. The Wyoming DEQ office in Sheridan was also contacted for additional information on some of the districts and private water systems.
All information obtained is compiled on the summary sheets in Appendix 1. In a few cases, no information could be obtained on the water system or the data in the WWDC 2000 Water System Survey Report could not be verified.
As the above tabulation indicates, all of the public water supplies in the planning area utilize groundwater. With surface water sources, impacts (depletions) to surface waters can be reduced by returning some of their diversion to that surface water through their wastewater treatment facility. This impact can be shown by the simple relationship of:
depletions = diversions - return flow.If municipalities using groundwater release wastewater to a neighboring stream, those streams will have an increased flow since there will be no associated surface water diversion. While several of the entities utilizing groundwater sources do discharge from their wastewater facility, many of the smaller groundwater systems do not discharge treated wastewater to a stream. All systems are tabulated with associated quantity estimates in Table 1.
Average and peak day usage, and wastewater discharge information was obtained from the municipality. Only actual wastewater point source discharges were considered in this analysis. Return flows resulting from municipal irrigation use or seepage were not considered, as they are highly variable and difficult to estimate. Therefore, the return flows used in this analysis are likely understated.
Due to the depth and geology of the typical wells used as groundwater sources in the planning area, it is believed these wells have little if any impact on surface water flows.
The consumers of water for many of the municipal systems are totally located within the corporate boundaries. Therefore, the populations of the service areas are the same as that for the town. The City of Gillette in particular, provides water to outlying users and is more of a regional water system. Therefore its population served is more than only that included within the city limits.
CONCLUSIONS
Table 1 summarizes water used by municipalities within the Northeastern Wyoming River Basins. This table also tabulates data on the water systems.

Table 2 compares existing usage with system capacity and water rights. This table shows whether the systems have sufficient capacity to meet their existing needs, as well as some future growth. The priority dates of water rights and water availability in dryer years can impact the amount of water that can be diverted despite the quantity stated in their water rights.
The City of Gillette is currently being significantly impacted by the coal bed methane boom. The population calculated from Census 2000 data was approximately 22,000. The city believes they serve a larger population, which could be the case. Growth from the boom could also be above estimates, and well above the rates for other systems in the basin. Therefore, while Table 2 may show Gillette has adequate supply capacity for many years to come, this might not be true. Gillette will monitor this situation and begin planning for expansion of their supply capacity, including additional water source, well ahead of the time frame that may be indicated in Table 2.

Municipal water suppliers are faced with the ongoing tasks of rehabilitating their water systems as they age, responding to needs for improvements to comply with regulations and additional capacity, and plan for the future to meet growths in demand. Addressing these issues, supplying water of the quantity and quality to meet their users requirements, and providing the needed revenue to meet their financial plan is an ongoing challenge.
Figure 1 shows the location of wells within the Northeast Wyoming River Basins Planning Area that were filed in the State Engineer's Office as "municipal" wells. These wells are on a data layer within the GIS for these basins. Information on the well as provided by the applicant, may be accessed by "clicking" on each well in the GIS.

Municipal Water Use Summary
Entity: City of Gillette
Introduction: The city of Gillette operates the largest water system in the study area. Their water supply is all groundwater, with source wells in the Fort Union, Fox Hills, and Madison formations. In addition to serving the city, this system also serves several subdivisions or water districts around the city. The number of other entities served will grow over the years, as it becomes more difficult for smaller entities to maintain their systems. The WWDC approved Master Plan for the Gillette area also calls for regionalization of water supply (with the expansion of the Gillette water system), over time. Discussions have taken place with coal bed methane producers to obtain high quality Fort Union formation water produced during methane extraction in the vicinity of Gillette, for the Gillette water system.
The following subdivisions outside of City limits are served by the Gillette Water System.
Number of Taps: 6566
Water Supply: Gillette.s water supply comes from 25 wells. The primary source is the Madison well field (10 wells) located 42 miles northeast of Gillette. A 30-inch pipeline delivers this water to the city. The remaining 15 wells are Fort Union and Fox Hills wells located around the city. These wells pump directly to the treatment facility.
Water Treatment: Degasification, disinfection.
Raw Water Storage: None
Finished Water Storage: 21,000,000
Wastewater Treatment Discharge: Activated sludge plant. Average discharge to Stonepile Creek about 2.3 MGD. An additional 0.2 MGD from wastewater plant sold to PP&L for Wyodak Power Plant.
Monthly Water Rates: Base rate of $5.85, plus $1.60 per 1000 gallons fur usage above the base rate of 3000 gallons. Average monthly bill is $20.25.
Annual Water Use: About 1,460 million gallons (average day use = 4 million gallons)
Per Capita Use: Average day = 200 gallons, Peak day = 264 gallons
Peak Day Demand: 11,940,000 gallons
Water Supply System Capacity: 12,865 gpm
Municipal Water Rights: 15,725 gpm (see attached list)
Water Rights Capacity:
Near Future Improvements: Possible project utilizing coal bed methane water into water system, or for aquifer storage.
