Water: It's your Resource

The Mount Werner Water District (MWW) and the City of Steamboat Springs have developed a COMMUNITY WATER CONSERVATION PLAN.

"Water conservation is a key strategy in developing a sustainable community; it demonstrates responsible stewardship of our water resources and responsible management of our infrastructure and financial resources. By raising citizen awareness, a conservation program can also prepare the community to respond effectively to drought conditions or other water emergencies and to accept and adapt to progressively more stringent conservation measures."

In March, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) awarded a grant to fund the completion of the Community Water Conservation Plan to meet state specifications. We anticipate completing the plan for adoption this Fall.

Steve Gale, a Director since 2006, moved to the Front Range in June and has resigned his position on the Board. We thank Steve for his excellent service to the District. At the July 22nd board meeting, the remaining four directors voted to appoint Steve Frasier, a resident of Hunter's Court and President of the Mountain Resorts property management group, to complete Steve's term to 2012.

New Pump Station at Alpenglow Way and Val D'Isere Circle
The new pump station will improve fire-flow availability in the Laurel Lane, Ski Trail Lane and Anthony Circle neighborhoods. This will also provide an alternative supply of water to these neighborhoods in case of a water main break.

Native Excavating has installed all associated water supply mains from lower Val D'Isere to the pump station and from the pump station to Ski Trail Lane. Native's subcontractor has competed the walls and floor of the pump station itself. We expect installation of the skid-mounted pump in mid-October and the pump station to be on-line by the end of October.

Columbine Drive Water Main Extension
This installation of 12" and 14" water main from Walton Creek Road to Apres Ski Way will improve water supplies to the new Alpenglow pump station. This project is the first phase of a strategic supply backbone to improve supplies to South District neighborhoods.

Native Excavating was awarded the contract on July 9th, and following receipt of permits, began construction August 10th. The first section to the Sub Alpine Condominiums will be completed by mid-September. The project will completed to Apres Ski Way by mid-October.
