4. Discussion and Possible Action Regarding
a) Source Water Protection Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There is a growing effort in Colorado to protect community drinking water sources from
potential contamination. Many communities are taking a proactive approach to
preventing the pollution of their drinking water sources by developing a source water
protection plan (SWPP). A SWPP identifies a Source Water Protection Area (SWPA),
lists potential contaminant sources, and outlines best management practices (BMPs) to
reduce risks to the water source. Implementation of a SWPP provides an additional layer
of protection at the local level beyond drinking water regulations.
The Fraser River Source Water Protection Partnership (FRSWPP) was recently
established to provide a framework for public water systems in the Fraser River Valley to

collaborate on the protection of their drinking water sources from all potential sources of
contamination. The FRSWPP is currently made up of eight public water systems:
Moraine Park, Granby North Service Area, Granby South Service Area, the Town of
Fraser, Winter Park Ranch Water and Sanitation, Grand County Water and Sanitation
District #1, Winter Park Water and Sanitation District, and Denver Water. The FRSWPP
values a clean, high quality drinking water supply and decided to work collaboratively
with area stakeholders to develop a SWPP. The source water protection planning effort
consisted of public planning meetings with stakeholders including local citizens and
landowners, private businesses, water operators, local and state governments, and
agency representatives during the months of August, 2015 to August, 2016, at Winter
Park, Colorado. Colorado Rural Water Association (CRWA) was instrumental in this
effort by providing guidance and technical assistance in the development of this SWPP.
The FRSWPP obtains its drinking water from 23 groundwater wells and/or 4 surface
water intakes on the Fraser River, Vasquez Creek, and Little Vasquez Creek. Denver
Water has a number of other surface water diversions on tributary creeks throughout the
upper Fraser River and Williams Fork watersheds. This SWPA is the area that the
FRSWPP has chosen to focus its source water protection measures to reduce source
water susceptibility to contamination. The water suppliers of the FRSWPP conducted an
inventory of potential contaminant sources and identified other issues of concern within
the SWPA for the FRSWPP as a whole and for each individual water system.
The FRSWPP developed several BMPs to reduce the risks from potential contaminant
sources and other issues of concern. The BMPs are centered on communication
between water systems and emergency management; themes of building partnerships
with community members, businesses, and local decision makers; raising awareness of
the value of protecting community drinking water supplies; and empowering local
communities to become stewards of their drinking water supplies by taking actions to
protect their water sources.
The Board discussed the plan as well as some additions such as pesticides and
pollution.
