Mandatory Water Restrictions Effective May 1st

With a below-average snowpack and forecasts of another warm spring and dry summer similar to 2012, the four districts that provide water to the Steamboat Springs area - the Mount Werner Water District, the City of Steamboat Springs District, the Steamboat II Metro District, and the Tree Haus Metro District - have issued a drought warning and have announced mandatory Stage 2 water restrictions in accordance with Steamboat Springs Water Conservation Plan. See April 3rd press release- amended.

The Stage 2 water restrictions will go into effect May 1st. The early date will allow landscapers, businesses, and homeowners to set timers to the Stage 2 watering schedule at the beginning of the irrigation season. Early implementation will also allow lawns, shrubs, and trees to adapt early in the growing season and avoid the shock of water reductions in the middle of the growing season. If the spring and summer are cooler and wetter than forecasted, businesses and residents will have benefitted by saving on their water bills.

2013 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

Burgess Creek Wastewater Collector Replacement

2012 Phase 1 complete. Work crews completed Phase 1 from Wildhorse Meadows, through Eagleridge Drive, to Village Drive.

2013 Phase 2 from Village Drive to the Dulany Condos will begin in the last week of August, 2013 following the Pro Cycling Tour August 21-22. Affected properties will include: The Highmark, Market on the Mountain commercial plaza, and The Dulany Condos.

Project Description: The District is replacing and upsizing 3,000 feet of existing sewer main along the lower Burgess Creek corridor. This sewer main collects the wastewater from all residential and commercial entities in the Burgess Creek Basin including the Mountain Base Area and conveys it to the Valley Interceptor which runs north along US 40. This replacement is a strategic project with the goal of increasing collection capacity to accommodate existing and projected demand.

Replacement of Pressure Reducing Valve Vault (PRV) - Lower Bear Drive

The District will be replacing the PRV just below the intersection of Bear Drive and Hunters Court. The District's twenty PRV's reduce the water pressure in the distribution system so that it is suitable for domestic plumbing fixtures and appliances. We expect to start this project in July.

The District recognizes the inconveniences of construction; its contractor will endeavor to minimize noise, dust, and traffic for affected residents and visitors. We are working with property managers to ensure that we have effective communications with residents and visitors during this project. The District has conducted a wetland study and has been issued a permit by the Corp of Engineers.
