Upon a determination by the commission that the excess water is not needed and has not been contracted for during the previous ten (10) years, the commission may renegotiate or seek to terminate any existing contract with the city of Cheyenne entered into pursuant to this subsection and subsection (g) of this section. Upon termination of any existing contract entered into pursuant to this subsection and subsection (g) of this section, the excess water shall no longer be assigned to and marketed by the Wyoming water development commission.

The water development commission may withdraw up to sixty-two and seven-tenths percent (62.7%) of the Stage II effluent from sale and the city of Cheyenne may withdraw up to thirty-seven and three-tenths percent (37.3%) of the Stage II effluent from sale.

The sale or withdrawal from sale of Stage II effluent shall not be accomplished without consultation among the commission, the city and the state engineer.
