Restroom Facilities at Moorcroft Rest Area Temporarily Closed

MOORCROFT, WY. – The restrooms at the Moorcroft Rest Area have been closed down for an indeterminate amount of time due to a sewer line breach at the lift station.

Although the permanent facilities are not available to the traveling public, the rest area remains open.  Port-a-potties and hand washing stations have been placed on site.  This includes a handicap facility as well.

City of Moorcroft and WYDOT personnel are investigating the conditions and will determine the best mitigation and repair schedule to resolve the issue.

It is uncertain the cause of the water and sewer line disruption.  It is thought that perhaps excessive spring flooding may have been a factor.

It is uncertain as to when the permanent facilities will be operational.
