HB0090

Wyoming HB0090 mandates a study on large-scale industrial water use and its impact on Wyoming water users.

Wyoming HB0090 requires the state engineer to conduct a study on consumptive water use, focusing on large-scale industrial water use by data centers and carbon capture technologies. The study will analyze current water use and its impact on other water users, and recommend ways to limit future impacts. The study results and recommendations will be reported to a legislative committee by November 1, 2026. An appropriation of $500,000 is made for this study, effective immediately upon enactment.
