WATER: It seems like we discuss water more than any other issue. It's that important! Given the rapid growth we've experienced and the drought prone nature of our region, La Plata County commissioners are considering tougher standards for proving the existence of adequate long-term water supplies for new developments. The standards, when finalized, will become a part of the county's land use code.
All new subdivisions, except very small ones, would be required to conduct groundwater studies to demonstrate that the total amount of water the development will pull from the aquifer will not exceed the rate that it is recharged.
We support the county on this one but keep in mind - another regulation & higher standards - another blow to affordable housing.
