of ownership of water treated through the project for purposes
other than the board's municipal or domestic use without prior
written approval from the commission. If such a transaction is

of ownership of the project until the investment described in
section 4(a) of this act [§ 99-1-504(a)] is paid in full, and

Before the board may lease, sell, assign or transfer ownership
of the project, the state of Wyoming shall be given a one (1)
year first right of refusal option to purchase the board's
interest in the project for an amount equal to the principal,
interest, maintenance and replacement costs incurred by the
board at the date the option is exercised.
(c) The board shall be responsible for operation and
maintenance of the project. (Laws 1995, ch. 201, §§ 5a, 5b, 5c.)
