Description
The Civil Works Administration (CWA) worked to improve the water system in Clearmont, Wyoming.
Cassity: “At Clearmont, the water main was repaired at the same time the streets were
resurfaced, and the laying of four hundred feet of water pipe on Big Horn Avenue improved the water pressure for the residences.”
It is unclear whether this refers to a project in Sheridan, as there is a Big Horn Avenue in Sheridan though not in Clearmont. Cassity refers to a similar project in Sheridan in the subsequent sentence.
