From The Tri-Lakes Tribune (Nicole Chillino):

The lift stations will pump wastewater to the Tri-Lakes wastewater treatment facility, according to information from the council. One station will be located south of Hunters Glen Road and the other will be located at the south end of Crestwood Drive. The homes in the area are on septic systems presently, but there is a state requirement that homeowners go on the central sewage system if there is a central wastewater line within 400 feet of their property, said Rich Muzzy, environmental program manager for the council.

Mike Wicklund, manager of the Monument Sanitation District, said the property owners can hook up when they want to. If a homeowner’s septic system is working properly, the owner does not have to hook into the central sewer line. “If their septic system fails the El Paso County Health Department will compel them to hook up,” he said.
