Emergency Response Plan for Wyoming Transient Ground Water Systems

Emergency Response Plan for Wyoming Transient Ground Water Systems

All public water systems must have an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) that details emergency operations procedures for possible foreseeable emergencies such as power outage, loss of water, equipment failure, development of unsafe conditions, and other emergency conditions. When a sanitary surveyor conducts a sanitary survey on your system they will ask if you have an ERP. Please fill this form out now, and keep it handy.
