Urgent Call to Action
Your voice matters. The Douglas County commissioners want to hear from YOU in regards to the Renewable Water Resources (RWR) proposal. People across the Valley and around the state are joining together to fight the proposal that would export water from the San Luis Valley to Douglas County. Our goal is to send over 1,000 letters from people like you who care about the Valley, our public lands and maintaining intact ecosystems. Send them an email or a letter with your thoughts. Join in the struggle for common sense!

PROTECT OUR WATER
FROM A RECKLESS TRANS-BASIN WATER DIVERSION ATTEMPT
1. The RWR plan would divert 22,000 acre feet of water per year of San Luis Valley water to Douglas County, the 6th wealthiest County in the United States.
2. The RWR proposal calls for the commissioners of Douglas County to allocate $20 million they received through the taxpayer funded American Rescue Plan to assist the company in exporting the water.
3. The Douglas County commissioners must make a decision as to whether or not to move forward with the plan. The three commissioners seem split on their decision.
