Town of Pagosa Springs
The Pagosa Springs Sanitation General Improvement District's (PSSGID's) wastewater system is experiencing a critical situation.
Pump Station #2 has failed as of this afternoon, on top of a previous issue related to a recent lightning strike. This combination of failures is putting extreme pressure on the remaining system, which has already been working overtime while replacement parts arrive.
How you can help right now
To minimize added strain on the system, please limit the amount of water going down the drain in all forms:
• Only flush solid waste and minimize flushing liquid waste.
• Take shorter showers and baths.
• Avoid using the sink, washing machine and dishwasher.
We urgently need community-wide support to minimize stress on the wastewater system until repairs can be made.
The PSSGID is actively working to locate and deliver a replacement pump as quickly as possible. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more information.
Thank you for doing your part to protect our system and prevent further disruptions.
