The Town of Pagosa Springs is undertaking significant improvements to its sewer infrastructure to enhance system reliability and safety for residents. A public hearing is scheduled for June 17, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Ross Aragon Community Center to discuss the proposed projects.
Key Projects
The planned upgrades include:
- 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 projects is $3,223,000. The town has prepared a Project Needs Assessment and an Environmental Assessment, which are available for public review at the Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District office and online.
