    FY-2015 SMP Rate Increases
    Shoshone Municipal Pipeline (SMP) will increase the monthly tap equivalent fee by $1.00 per tap equivalent, from $9.00 per tap equivalent per month to $10.00 per tap equivalent per month. This increase becomes effective July 1, 2014.  

    This is the first increase in rates or fees since July 1, 2009 and only the third increase since SMP began delivering water in October of 1991. The wholesale water rate of $1.34 per thousand gallons will not change.

    The increase is necessary due to the expense of increased operating costs and upcoming projects including the completion of a total SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system upgrade at the water treatment plant and both raw water pumping stations and the replacement of valve actuators on all of the filters at the water treatment plant. The estimated cost of these two projects is just over 1.3 million dollars.

    The increase affects customers served by the municipalities of Cody, Powell, Bryon, Lovell, Deaver and Frannie and the Northwest Rural Water District. If anyone has questions concerning their water rates or tap equivalent fees, you are welcome to call your local water department or call Shoshone Municipal Pipeline at 307-527-6492.

    Byron Tank Recoating Project

    Pipeline Relocation Project 1
    This project consisted of removing 2.5 miles of treated water transmission line from WYDOT right-of-way and relocating it onto private land. This project was required by WYDOT to accommodate the expansion of US Highway 14A from two lanes to five lanes. The project was awarded to Garney Wyoming, Inc., of Chugwater, Wyoming on August 15, 2011. The project was complete on August 1, 2012.
    Frannie Tank Recoating Project
    This project consisted of repainting the elevated storage tank in the Town of Frannie. The tank was originally constructed and painted in 1990. The project was awarded to L.F.W. Sandblasting & Painting, Inc., of Plattsmouth, Nebraska on March 9, 2009. The project was complete on October 30, 2009.
    On-Site Chlorine Generation
    In 2009, Shoshone Municipal Pipeline (SMP) implemented a $650,000 upgrade to a safer method of disinfecting water. Instead of using gas chlorine, SMP will use salt to produce a sodium hypochlorite solution for the disinfection process. Sodium hypochlorite is a "weak bleach" solution that is 5 times weaker than household bleach but still potent enough to disinfect water. The reason for this change is safety. The equipment for the project was provided by MIOX Corporation of Albuquerque, New Mexico and the equipment was installed by Basin Mechanical, Inc. of Cody, Wyoming.
