SWEETWATER COUNTY Determining how to continue to fund and operate ambulance services for Sweetwater County residents was a priority discussion during Wednesday’s meeting, one of many planned to discuss consolidated services in the county.
During a special meeting between the Sweetwater County Commissioners and representatives from Rock Springs, Green River, Wamsutter, Granger, Superior and Bairoil city councils, the majority of these groups felt figuring out a funding solution to maintain an ambulance service was important to the public.
The group discussed how the county commission decided to terminate the current service contracts and all associated funding with those contracts with Sweetwater Medics and Castle Rock Ambulance Service, effective March 31, 2021. Commission Chairman Randy Wendling said both ambulance services were funded through the county and due to recent budget constraints, the county can no longer fund it alone.
