Water Conservation
Imagine a day with no water in Lake Dillon, with stream flows too low to support wildlife. Water is not only essential to life, it’s an integral piece of our mountain lifestyle – from the places we play to the beer we drink. To raise awareness of this precious resource, water providers across Summit County will offer facility tours on and around October 10. Learn about where your water comes from and how water providers bring this precious resource from the stream to your home.
Copper Mountain Metropolitan District: call 970-968-2390 to set up a tour
Town of Dillon: call 970-262-3426 to set up a tour
Town of Breckenridge: call 970-547-3110 to set up a tour
Town of Frisco: Offering tours of the water plant in 3 one hour time blocks with a max of 25 people per block. The time blocks will be as follows: 10AM to 11AM, 1PM to 2PM and 3PM to 4PM. Please call Teresa @ 970-668-0836 to RSVP with your pick of time slot.
