Client challenge:
The Flying
Y Ranch holds valuable Laramie River
irrigation water rights, but the rights have not been used because a flow
measuring device is needed at the irrigation ditch headgate, and it is too
impractical to install the device at this location.
Coffey solution:
Coffey Engineering & Surveying worked
with the ranch owner and the Wyoming State Board of Control to research ranch
water rights, to complete landowner deed acquisition, to petition for a change
in point of diversion and means of conveyance for the water rights, and to
submit the petition package to the Wyoming State Board of Control for review
and approval.
