Description
The Civil Works Administration (CWA) improved the water system in Greybull, Wyoming.
Cassity: “As for running water, Greybull’s experience was repeated at a number of other communities. CWA workers replaced a wrought iron water line on Third Avenue with cast iron pipe and replaced 2,200 feet of pipe on Greybull Avenue: “This change of pipe was badly needed and the change of pipe has helped to greatly improve the Greybull Water System.”
