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.
The project encompasses three key improvements:
- Installation of the 1st Street Lift Station along Highway 160.
- Implementation of overflow vaults and control modifications at existing lift stations to provide overflow protection during power outages and emergencies.
- Replacement of Category 4 sanitary sewer pipe on Rosita Street, including manhole and pipe replacement.
These upgrades are designed to bolster the reliability and efficiency of the town’s wastewater management system. The estimated cost for the project is $3,223,000.
Community members are encouraged to attend the hearing to voice their opinions and ask questions. For those unable to attend in person, remote participation is available through Google Meet. Copies of the Project Needs Assessment and Environmental Assessment are accessible for public review at the Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District office and online.
