To the citizens of Colorado City… we just got word from city officials that there is another water leak and the pressure is dropping fast. Please try and conserve until the water department finds and repairs this leak. Let’s not go into a “no water” situation if we can help it. If we all use the minimum, we ALL may continue to have water. Please, let’s work together to help ourselves. We will pass on any information we get.

25/06/2025

Yes, it’s true. The city has another large water break and has turned off the water to conserve what the towers have built up. It was pouring out fast and had to be turned off. The repairs should be pretty straightforward and relatively quick, so please be patient, and again CONSERVE, and we should all have water this evening, if all goes well.
