The contractor finished the work on replacing the water mains, hydrants, and appurtenances. All water service lines are operational. If anyone has an outstanding issue, please contact our office at (970) 468-0328.
We appreciate the patience of all residents and owners in the neighborhood. We anticipate more reliable service this winter than the typical water main breaks we grew accustomed to in the past.
We are sorry to report that the fire hydrant replacement was not completed today as expected. The work will continue tomorrow. We are told that the outage will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end by 2:00 p.m. (hopefully sooner).
There may also be some delays and a disruption of normal traffic flow at the job site. However, we will make every effort to minimize this inconvenience.
The LPV neighborhood has been under construction during August and September. There will be an outage on Tuesday 10/8 due to a fire hydrant replacement in the service area.
There may also be some delays and a disruption of normal traffic flow at the job site. However, we will make every effort to minimize this inconvenience.
Snake River Water District apologizes for any inconvenience that this may cause. Should you have any questions or concerns, please call the Water District Operations staff at 970-390-6857.
We have been notified by the contractor on the LPV Project that the work will not be completed by September 30th. Their new estimate is October 14th.
We apologize for any inconvenience. The project is being conducted in phases, and the first group of houses have been connected to the new water mains. The second phase construction is complete, and the sign-off for lab testing is expected this week. The final phase is underway and should wrap-up in the next three weeks.
The Snake River Water District is not a part of the Town of Keystone government. The SRWD was formed in 1982 as a standalone special district and quasi-governmental corporation. SRWD is excited for the establishment of the new town, and it desires to build a strong working relationship with the staff and elected officials.
On August 1st , we will begin a very significant water main replacement project. If you have been living in the Loveland Pass Village neighborhood for a winter or two, then you are aware that the water mains under the streets have leaked and been repaired numerous times. The old water mains are 60-70 years old from the original Loveland Pass Village Water District. These pipes are failing, and the Snake River Water District is committed to improving your water service.
Last summer, PFAS was detected in the Snake River Water District’s water supply. It is important to understand there is not an immediate public health risk related to drinking tap water from Snake River Water District.
To be clear, SRWD is not out of compliance. Our detection was part of a testing cycle for the EPA's Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule #5. We have complied with all EPA and CDPHE guidelines. Our partnership with the CDPHE PFAS team has been outstanding, and they are providing recommendations for actions that we are following strictly.
Some customers have asked the District about using a water filter in their home to remove PFAS. While we can make no specific recommendations, we rely on the EPA guidance for such PFAS information.
Please visit the EPA's Fact Sheet on removing PFAS with a home filter.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment compiles the water testing data from labs to produce a report for each public water system. They send this report to public water systems each year and require them to publish it for their customers. The SRWD report covering data for calendar year 2023 was delivered to us this week. We publish this report in the Summit Daily Legal Section, tape it to our office window, and create a web page for our website.
