Goshen Irrigation District Water Supply Update
We are pleased to announce that, based on current water supply conditions, GID has increased in this year's seasonal allocation from 0.70 AF to 0.80 AF per irrigable acre.
We currently expect to continue delivering water until approximately August 15th through August 20th, depending on weather, irrigation demand, and available supply.
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of our water users for your patience, cooperation, and understanding throughout this irrigation season. Your willingness to work with the District and conserve water when needed has played an important role in helping us maximize the available supply.
Fort Laramie Canal Tunnel Groundbreaking Ceremony Marks Major Milestone for Regional Water Infrastructure.
On October 28, 2025, the Goshen Irrigation District , in partnership with Gering Fort Laramie Irrigation District, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the launch of the Fort Laramie Canal Tunnel Rehabilitation Project.
The event began with a project overview at the Goshen Irrigation District office in Torrington, followed by a site visit to Tunnel 2 inlet along the Fort Laramie Canal. Attendees included local and state officials, engineering and construction partners, and community members who gather to commemorate the start of a project that will restore and reinforce a vital irrigation system serving thousands of acres of farmland across Wyoming and Nebraska.
Speakers at the event reflected on the 2019 collapse of Tunnel No. 2, which disrupted agricultural operations and underscored the importance of resilient infrastructure. Remarks from representatives of the irrigation districts, the bureau of reclamation, and the Select Water Committee emphasized the collaborative spirit and technical expertise that made the project possible.
Following the ceremonial shovel turn at the project site, guests returned to the Goshen Irrigation District office for luncheon and community networking.
The Fort Laramie Canal Tunnel Rehabilitation Project represents a significant investment in agricultural productivity, water security, and regional resilience. Construction will begin soon, with continued support from local, state, and federal partners.
