August 13, 2009 - City Water Supply Concerns

It has come to our attention that recent media coverage of the contamination of some domestic water wells, near the City of Walsenburg, with coal bed methane and coal bed methane extraction by-products has caused some concern that the City of Walsenburg water supply has become contaminated as well.

The City of Walsenburg would like to reassure the citizens of Walsenburg that the city water supply is not contaminated with coal-bed methane or coal bed methane extraction by-products.
