Sewer and Water Infrustructure in Walsenburg


A lot of money, time, and effort was expended on the Northlands Sewer Project which is in the area north of the city.  About 20 landowners received the benefits of new water, gas, and sewer lines at a cost of several million dollars. 

At the time questions to the city council about the aging infrustructure in the city were met with assurances that a stategy of replacing pipes using a section by section approach.  The northeast section would be first.  Some were concerned that sewer service lines were blocks long to reach the nearest main line.  Oh, that would be addressed.  Of course, the new sewer line would go directly to the customer's house.  No problem with long service lines there.

The Northlands project is done.  It is complete with miles of line to reach the treatment plant and an expensive lift pump to push waste over the humpback.  How about the new sewer and water pipes for the city?  When are they going to be in place?
