The Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District has scheduled a public hearing for Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Ross Aragon Community Center, South Conference Room, located at 451 Hot Springs Blvd. This session aims to inform residents and gather feedback on proposed enhancements to the town’s sewer infrastructure.
Key Project Components
The proposed project encompasses three primary improvements:
- 1st Street Lift Station Installation: A new lift station along Highway 160 to bolster wastewater management.
- Overflow Vaults and Control Modifications: Enhancements at existing lift stations to prevent overflows during power outages and emergencies.
- Sanitary Sewer Pipe Replacement: Upgrading Category 4 pipes on Rosita Street, including manhole and pipe replacements.
The estimated cost for these upgrades is $3,223,000. To facilitate funding, the District has prepared a Project Needs Assessment and an Environmental Assessment, which will be submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to qualify for a State Revolving Fund Loan.
Community Participation Encouraged
Residents are encouraged to attend the hearing to provide written or oral comments. For those unable to attend in person, remote participation is available via Google Meet or by phone. Detailed information and project documents are accessible at the Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District office and online.
