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 initiatives:
- Installation of the 1st Street Lift Station along Highway 160.
- Implementation of overflow vaults and control modifications at existing lift stations to ensure protection during power outages and emergencies.
- 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 support 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 as part of the application 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 via Google Meet: meet.google.com/eiw-rhvs-ube, or by phone at +1 956-704-1217 (PIN: 315 971 878#).
Copies of the assessments are accessible for public review at the Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District 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.
