Water Action Plan Update Presentation
At Wednesday night’s meeting, Firestone staff and consultants presented an updated Water Action Plan to the Board of Trustees. First adopted in 2020, the Water Action Plan was created because, like many communities along the Front Range, the Town of Firestone must think strategically to ensure the demands for both raw and treated water can be met over the next 50+ years. Over the past five years, the Town has successfully implemented the 2020 Water Action Plan, diversifying our water portfolio and supporting continued community growth.
The updated Water Action Plan:
- Evaluates water supply options and costs to meet projected needs for up to 30 years of planned growth
- Examines the financial implications of different supply options
- Outlines priorities for the next 5–10 years of investment in the Town’s water supply and infrastructure
While the plan considers a 30-year horizon to assess long-term feasibility and costs, immediate decisions are focused on the next 5-10 years. The document will be updated every five years to reflect changing needs and conditions.
The Board of Trustees will review the updated plan over the coming weeks and is expected to vote on adopting the 2025-2030 Water Action Plan in early October. View the presentation here.
