Volunteers Integral to Small System's Success
A subdivision in the foothills of Colorado's Rocky Mountains has built a small system whose water meets or exceeds state and federal guidelines. Eighty‐four homes are connected to the system, which can potentialiy accommodate 125 homes. The unique geologic setting introduced water quality problems such as radioactive contaminants as well as more conventional iron and corrosion problems. Communitywide support and involvement assured the success of the project, which was accomplished without outside subsidies. Community residents with expertise in geology, engineering, construction, and financial and business management volunteered their help to design, build, and maintain the system. This donated expertise is estimated to have saved the water district $300,000 to date. In addition to local expertise and voluntecrism, the author considers other issues of importance to small systems: responsible interest in health effects, planning on a small system level, and contract management guided by engineering expertise.
