City of Laramie v. University of Wyoming
Held that the University of Wyoming had common-law sovereign immunity from city’s attempt to enforce restrictive deed covenant pertaining to its drilling and operation of two wells for watering university’s landscaping including golf course; university was not similarly situated to other entities for purposes of equal protection challenge to statute governing university’s water system;
statute governing university’s water system was not an unconstitutional special law; statute governing university’s water system did not unconstitutionally delegate municipal power; and the city was statutorily barred from enforcing ordinance requiring city approval of nonmunicipal water drilling or systems within city.
