Sanitation General Improvement District
February 3, 2026
Public Works Director, Karl Johnson, provided an update to the Board. He said the lagoon
property is completely backfilled, and staff is assisting to level the Multi Purpose Pavilion site
as a pre-construction preparation. The temporary bypass pump has been installed at PS1
and the system runs autonomously with a float system. He said staff responded to an alarm
at PS2 for a failing drive motor and VFD on one of the dry pumps. PS2 is working on one
pump train, and the replacement parts have been ordered. The permitting is complete for
the McCabe Creek rehabilitation project and are waiting on LPEA to design a service
replacement that is in direct conflict with the new sewer main installation. A new position is
being interviewed for the Sanitation District. Board Member Martinez said the District is in an
emergency state and would like staff to provide a detail of the use of the new 1% sales tax
funds to get a handle on the District.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Capital Projects Update
Public Works Director Johnson and Ms. Maggie McHugh with Roaring Fork Engineering
provided an update on the 1st Street lift station project. The environmental reports are being
completed using past reports, and a site application is in the works. Staff is working to
identify grant funds as well as a State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan. Cultural and
archeological assessment is a part of the needs assessment required by the SRF and State
Historic Preservation Office. The estimated timeframe is approximately twelve months. The
pedestrian bridge may be started in the fall of this year.
The proposed wastewater treatment plant application is moving forward with staff applying
for a permit with CDPHE to discharge into the San Juan River. This permit will assist with
determining the costs and requirements of a new plant. The wastewater permitting could
allow for dirtwork in 2027 and construction in summer 2028. A packaged plant could be a
possibility in the short term to divert from the damaged conveyance system. A separate
permit could be applied for a water reuse option to reuse the water for fields and such before
discharge into the river.
VIII. NEXT BOARD MEETING MARCH 3, 2026 AT 5:00 PM
IX. ADJOURNMENT
Board President Pierce adjourned the meeting at 5:25 pm.
