The Town of Pagosa Springs is undertaking significant improvements to its sewer infrastructure to enhance system reliability and safety for residents. The Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District has scheduled a public hearing on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Ross Aragon Community Center to discuss the proposed project.
The project encompasses three key components:
- 1st Street Lift Station Installation: A new lift station along Highway 160 to improve wastewater management.
- Overflow Vaults and Control Modifications: Enhancements at existing lift stations to provide overflow protection during power outages and emergencies.
- Sanitary Sewer Pipe Replacement: Replacement of Category 4 sanitary sewer pipes on Rosita Street, including manhole and pipe upgrades.
The estimated cost for these improvements is $3,223,000. The town has prepared a Project Needs Assessment and an Environmental Assessment, which outline the necessity, alternatives, proposed components, and funding approach for the project. These documents are available for public review at the Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District office and online.
Community members are encouraged to attend the public hearing to provide input. Remote participation is available through Google Meet or by phone. For more information, contact Karl Johnson, Sanitation Capital Projects, at 970-264-4151 ext. 262.
