$60 million in new funds to support the completion of the Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) Announcement
Announcement, Speeches, and Reaction from Otero County Officials
Media Release:
Colorado U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, Bill Long, and local leaders celebrate the announcement of $60 million in new funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support the completion of the Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) to provide Coloradans with a secure and safe supply of water.
The AVC is a planned 130-mile water-delivery system from the Pueblo Dam to communities throughout the Arkansas River Valley in Southeast Colorado. This funding will expedite the construction timeline for the Conduit and allow for federal drinking water standards to be met more quickly by local water providers. The Conduit is the final phase of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project, which Congress authorized in 1962.

About The Valley: The ART Project and Upcoming Festivals in Southeast Colorado
Interview with The ART Project event organizer Zeke Ayala. We discuss The ART Project and other upcoming Southeast Colorado Festivals.

La Junta Fire Department On Top of World with New Sutphen Ladder/Bucket Truck
"This is a huge piece of safety equipment that needed to be replaced from the previous truck that's 20 years old," Davidson said.
Because of the mutual aide agreement between Southeast Colorado Fire Departments, this truck will serve Swink, Cheraw, and surrounding towns when needed.
Stepping up safety was a priority, according to Davidson, not only for the fire fighters and first responders, but for citizens in need of a rescue.
There is still training to be done before La Junta's new ladder truck is put into service, Davidson said.
The truck was purchased through by the City of La Junta and Davidson expressed thanks to the city council, city manager Rick Klein, Public Safety Director Bill Jackson and everyone who worked with them through the process.
Although it still needs its first wash at its new home, the fire department is feeling "on top of the world."
