The Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District (PSSGID) is taking significant steps to enhance the town’s sewer infrastructure. A public hearing is scheduled 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 hearing aims to inform residents and gather input on three high-priority projects:
- 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.
- Category 4 Sanitary Sewer Pipe Replacement: Replacement of aging sewer pipes on Rosita Street, including manhole and pipe upgrades.
The estimated cost for these projects 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 members are encouraged to attend the hearing to provide written or oral comments. For those unable to attend in person, remote participation is available through Google Meet: meet.google.com/eiw-rhvs-ube. Phone access is also provided at +1 956-704-1217, PIN: 315 971 878#.
Copies of the assessments are available for public review at the PSSGID office, 551 Hot Springs Blvd., and online at mypagosa.org/1st-st-lift-station-lift-station-overflow-vaults-and-category-4-and-5-sanitary-sewer-pipe-replacement.
