Operations personnel report that the weight of a vacuum truck has collapsed a buried water line located beneath the ranch access road on von Forell Ranch. The break is releasing a significant volume of water, flooding the immediate area and complicating site access. Personnel further indicate that the damaged line conveys groundwater to Basin Electric Power Cooperative’s Laramie River Station. This water is used as a critical cooling supply for the plant’s steam‑electric generation process, specifically for condenser and auxiliary cooling systems. The facility is currently dependent on this pipeline because its normal intake at Grayrocks Reservoir is offline due to low reservoir levels. GPS coordinates for the broken water line are 42.089658, -104.882676. This is a Drill!
