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."

On December 10th, the City, the Mt. Werner Water District, and Steamboat II Metro submitted a grant application to the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to fund the completion of the Conservation Plan to meet state specifications. We anticipate completing the plan for adoption in time for the 2010 summer irrigation season.

South District Water Improvements
For the 2010 construction season, the District is moving forward with two major projects to improve water distribution in the South District:

The District will construct a new pump station along Alpenglow near the intersection with Val D'Isere Circle. The new pump station will improving fire-flow availability in the Laurel Lane-south Apres Ski Way-Val D'Isere Circle neighborhoods and provide an alternative supply of water to these neighborhoods in case of a main break.

The District will install 1,500 feet of 14-inch water main from Walton Creek Road along Columbine to Apres Ski Way and 1,000 feet of 12-inch pipe to Bear Drive. This strategic extension of the South District Backbone will improve the performance of the 750,000 gallon South Tank that supplies the South District.
