The Board of Water Works of Pueblo is proud to have been a member
of Colorado Water Congress for over 30 years . . .
as we are proud of serving Value On Tap to our customers since 1874.
Most people don’t often pause to consider the incredible value of a safe, reliable water supply - and the water system that delivers it - in our everyday lives. But consider what tap water does that no other water can do.
Pueblo’s “Vital Blue” Delivers:
. . . public health protection.
Pueblo’s water system allows us to drink from any public tap with a high assurance of safety. The Board of Water Works treats water to meet rigorous federal and state water quality standards to protect the health of all in our community.
. . fire protection.
A well-maintained water system is critical in protecting Pueblo from the ever-present threat of fire. The Water Board maintains over 3,700 fire hydrants, providing Pueblo’s Fire Department the reliable water at an adequate pressure they need to keep lives and property safe.
. . . support for the economy.
Tap water is critical to businesses’ day-to-day operation and is often a primary ingredient in attracting new businesses to Pueblo. Since 1984, the Board of Water Works has contributed over $5.4 million in service to improve Pueblo’s economy.
. . . the quality of life we enjoy in Pueblo.
Any measure of a successful society is in some way related to access to safe water. Add the beauty and recreational opportunities that our parks, golf courses and the Riverwalk Project bring to our lives, and you realize how valuable our most precious resource really is.
