Carbon County

Stepping Stones has eight beds for youth in crisis and is operated by the Volunteers of America Northern Rockies.

On March 3, many Rawlins and Sinclair residents turned on their faucets only to find no water. School was canceled. Water use at the hospital was limited - workers had to haul buckets of water up several flights to flush toilets for patients. People did not know where to get drinking water. The water shortage lasted for seven days.

Carbon County has not had a youth crisis center since the end of October when the previous provider left. But now Volunteers of America Northern Rockies has partnered with the county and city of Rawlins to reopen that center by April.

A massive wind farm planned for Albany County is one step closer to approval.

A utility has just put its largest wind farm in its system online here in Wyoming. The TB Flats wind farm, located in Carbon County in southern Wyoming, can create up to 503.2 megawatts of power from 132 wind turbines. Based on its original 2018 permit application, that could power around 152,000 homes. It's the last project to go online stemming from Pacificorp's Energy Vision 2020 plan that created more than 1000 MW of new wind energy. Wyoming Public Radio’s Cooper McKim speaks with the utility spokesman Dave Eskelsen.
