The San Juan Water Conservancy District invites District property owners to apply for a seat on the Board of Directors. Board members are appointed by the chief judge of the Archuleta County Combined Courts for four-year terms. If you have an interest in water issues and are willing to serve as a volunteer on the Board, please submit a letter of interest.
In particular, the term for current SJWCD Board member Al Pfister expires on November 29, 2019, and District residents interested in filling that seat — or interested in filling one currently-vacant seat on the Board — are invited to submit letters of interest.
Mail letters of interest to:
Jeffery R. Wilson, Chief Judge
Archuleta County Combined Courts
P.O. Box 148, Pagosa Springs, CO 81147
The Board would appreciate an email copy of your letter, sent to Board President John Porco, jporco.sjwcd@gmail.com or mailed to our address: 46 Eaton Drive, Suite 5, Pagosa Springs CO 81147.
The mission of the San Juan Water Conservancy District is to conserve, develop, utilize, and plan storage for current and future water needs, and that the water resources of the San Juan River and its tributaries, and the property and residents within the District will be benefited by the activities of the District.
The District was formed in 1987 under the Water Conservancy Act by a vote of the electors in 1987. SJWCD is charged with providing water conservation, water resources planning, stream improvement, water rights protection, and development services within its service area, which includes most of the urban and suburban areas of Archuleta County, centered on the town of Pagosa Springs.
The SJWCD has the statutory authority to construct water development projects, to develop and operate augmentation plans, and to appropriate recreational in-channel diversion rights, among other powers.
Bill Hudson began sharing his opinions in the Pagosa Daily Post in 2004 and can’t seem to break the habit. He claims that, in Pagosa Springs, opinions are like pickup trucks: everybody has one.
