The Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District (PSSGID) has scheduled a public hearing for Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will take place at the Ross Aragon Community Center, South Conference Room, located at 451 Hot Springs Blvd. Community members are encouraged to attend and provide input on proposed enhancements to the town’s sewer infrastructure.
Project Overview
The proposed project encompasses three key improvements aimed at bolstering the town’s wastewater management system:
- 1st Street Lift Station Installation: A new lift station along Highway 160 to improve wastewater conveyance.
- 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. 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.
