From The Fort Morgan Times (Dan Barker):

The town of Wiggins is still waiting for a response from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to see if it will get a loan and perhaps a grant for its new water project…

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has said it will likely offer a loan, but all of the federal paperwork must be done first. The last part of that process is getting the green light from the Fish and Wildlife Service, said engineer Tim Holbrook of Industrial Facilities Engineering, which is organizing the project. The wildlife service said it may complete its files on the project in the next 30 days, but there is no way to predict that with any accuracy, he said. The service has not defined what it needs very clearly, Holbrook said.
