Douglas County commissioners have decided, for the time being, not to move forward with the plan to use American Rescue Plan Act money on a controversial project to pipe water out of the San Luis Valley based on the advice of outside counsel.
The board made the decision at Tuesday’s board work session Tuesday, and the board issued a press release confirming the decision. The Douglas County News-Press first reported the board’s decision.
The plans for the project would have brought 22,000 acre-feet of water each year from the San Luis Valley to Douglas County, which has angered residents in the valley who say their water resources are already nearly dried up after years of drought. The district’s board, appointed by the five county commissions in the San Luis Valley, also unanimously opposed the proposal.
