New pumping station

The new pumping station for the Owl Creek Irrigation District is operational, sitting to the left of the former station. The new station is more efficient in its electricity and also has a moss collector to clean up the water. The new pumping station serves 105 users covering 4,200 acres and cost a total of about $8.2 million. Some of the funding sources include the United States Bureau of Reclamation Water Smart Funds with $2 million, the WWDC grant provided $5.4 million and the WWDC Wyoming Development provided $600,000 as a loan. The OCID also contributed around $169,000. The pumping station was built by Prospect Construction of Sheridan.
