What is the Casper Aquifer Overlay Zone and what does it mean to me?

The Casper Aquifer is the source of over half of the City’s municipal water supply.  Due to its critical function, the City is dedicated to protecting the quality and quantity of these water reserves.  In order to achieve these goals, the City has created an Aquifer Protection Overlay Zone which adds supplemental restrictions to zoning areas.  These restrictions can be viewed in section 15.08.040.A of the Laramie Municipal Code. Generally, this zone restricts some uses and requires a “Site Specific Investigation” for most development in the zone.
