(Lander, WY) – The City of Lander is announcing temporary water shutoffs associated with the Buena Vista Water and Roadway Surface Improvements Project on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
Temporary Water Shutoffs
Thursday, August 27
● 8 AM-5 PM – Cedar Street, Wind River Avenue, and the 500-700 blocks of Bellvue. Please review the map to see the impacted area.
● 8 PM until work is complete – Buena Vista Drive from Sage Street to Wyoming Street. Please review the map to see the impacted area. 
Residents and businesses have been notified. Water will be turned off for the least amount of time possible to allow for the connection of the new waterline. Unexpected breaks or disruptions will be addressed immediately and given priority. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. The shutoff along Buena Vista Drive from Sage Street to Wyoming Street is taking place at night to minimize the impact on businesses. Thank you for your cooperation during this construction project.
Road Closure and Access
Buena Vista Drive remains closed from the south entrance to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to Sage Street. Contractors are coordinating access with affected residents.
The Rural Water House remains open during construction. Please enter from E Main Street/Hwy 789 and exit the same way. Do not access the facility from the south.
Employees, patients, and visitors traveling to Lander Medical Clinic, SageWest Health Care, Showboat Retirement Home, and the Lander Community and Convention Center should use the detour via South 2nd Street and Wyoming Street.
Construction will continue through the fall, with roadway closures shifting as work progresses. Buena Vista Drive will reopen during the winter construction shutdown. Motorists are encouraged to use South 2nd Street and Wyoming Street as the primary alternate route, allow extra travel time, and obey all traffic control signs and flaggers.
The project will be completed in phases during the 2026 and 2027 construction seasons. The City appreciates the community’s patience and will continue to provide updates as work progresses.
