Community Initiatives
Beyond festivities, Pagosa Springs is committed to addressing essential infrastructure needs. The ‘Saving our Sewers (S.O.S.)’ initiative is a testament to this commitment. With the current sewer system facing significant challenges, approximately $80–$100 million is required for repairs and upgrades.
