Welcome to the Home of the
Roaring Fork Water & Sanitation District

2012 BUDGET
The RFWSD Board approved the 2012 Budget on November 15, 2011.  Customers will not see an increase in their water and sewer bills as service fees have remained the same again this year.  Capital projects approved for this year include replacement of the roof at the wastewater treatment plant’s pretreatment building, purchasing a spare lift station pump and an asset management study of the water and wastewater systems to better project future infrastructure replacement needs.   Per the RFWSD’s long-range financial plan, the District will also continue to set money aside each year for future water and wastewater infrastructure replacement projects.

 

DROUGHT CONCERNS

    ThisTThis seasons low snowpack has everyone concerned about drought conditions this summer.  The quality of our district wells is sound, ensuring our domestic supply of water to be stable.  To maintain that stability, it is important to be mindful of water use.  With irrigation season underway, it is especially important that we emphasize the importance of conserving water whether you irrigate with district water supply or a raw water source.  One easy way to participate in water conservation is to voluntarily reduce the irrigation of your lawns and gardens to 3 days per week using the following water schedule:

Address Ending in ODD NUMBER:          Sunday, Wednesday, Friday

Address Ending in EVEN NUMBER:          Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday

 

MORE WATER CONSERVATION TIPS:

• Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation
• If the water runs off your lawn easily, split your watering time into shorter periods to allow for better absorption.
• Spreading a layer of organic mulch around plants retains moisture and saves water, time and money.
• Check the root zone of your lawn or garden for moisture before watering using a spade or trowel.  If it's still moist two inches under the soil surface, you still have enough water.
