eagle river water and sanitation district

The Eagle River Water and Sanitation District is a local government entity that provides efficient, reliable water and wastewater service to its customers from east Vail to Wolcott. The District conducts its operations in an environmentally sound manner, ensuring regulatory requirements are met while also forging strong partnerships within the recreation and tourism-based community.

ERWSD holds an annual event, State of the River, which features presentations from local, regional and national experts on water issues affecting our community. In addition, the ERWSD underwrites coverage of the Town of Vail's Lunch with the Locals.
