The Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District (PSSGID) has scheduled a public hearing to discuss significant upgrades to the town’s sewer infrastructure. The meeting is set 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.
The proposed project encompasses three key components:
- 1st Street Lift Station Installation: A new lift station along Highway 160 to enhance wastewater management.
- Overflow Vaults and Control Modifications: Upgrades 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 PSSGID 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 input. For those unable to attend in person, remote participation is available via 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.
