Road Closure
CLOSURE OF DANA AVENUE FROM 13th ST. TO 15th ST. (CR 80).
On November 1, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners temporarily closed Dana Avenue due to Safety concerns for the traveling public and the residents residing adjacent to this roadway. The County has monitored the flow of traffic through the area to evaluate the impact the closure has had on the traveling public. A number of improvements have been made to Holloway Street including signage and surfacing treatment to accommodate the additional traffic that has been diverted to this street. Due to the success of this trial closure, the Board of County commissioners plan to continue the closure of Dana Avenue. Access for the residents living adjacent to Dana Avenue will be maintained. This Board of County commissioners will review this closure on an annual basis to evaluate whether to continue the closure. Thank you for your cooperation and for the comments we have received since closing the roadway. If you have questions or comments please contact Rod Liesinger in the Public Works Office at 674-2920.
Proposed supplement Specifications for Story area
The rural community of Story, Wyoming has no centralized water supply or wastewater treatment facility. All domestic water supplies and wastewater treatment are provided by on-site wells and septic tanks. The roughly 700 homes in the community are sited on small lots with minimal separation, and most septic systems in the area are unpermitted and therefore of unknown integrity.
Due to high lot density and the shallow alluvial aquifer underlying the area, as well as the number of shallow domestic wells using that aquifer, supplemental specifi cations to existing County rules and regulations for construction of septic systems are being proposed for septic systems in the Story area.
Additional information is provided through the links below.
