From The Pueblo Chieftain (Chris Woodka):
The commission is seeking to tighten conditions, which include no new waivers for public drinking water systems and withdrawing waivers for schools and day care centers. A hearing, in part to determine if water rights would be violated by the new rules, will be at 9 a.m. Monday at 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, Denver…
The state withdrew 64 of the waivers because they either had already installed disinfection systems or fell in a different category for hand-pumped wells. There are still 37 waivers that have been retained, including for the towns of La Jara, Romeo, Sanford, Blanca, Fort Garland and the San Luis Water and Sanitation District in the San Luis Valley. Several campgrounds and resorts are also on that list. “Those waivers will depend on their ability to comply with the regulations and the results of routine testing,” [Ron Falco, safe drinking water program manager] said. “We’re planning to conduct outreach and assistance to help them meet the requirements.”
