Welcome to Project 7

The Project 7 Water Authority is a unique cooperative effort among seven water entities to provide high quality potable water to the municipalities and rural areas of the Uncompahgre River Valley.

The seven entities that represent the Project 7 Water Authority are:

• The City of Montrose
• The City of Delta
• The Town of Olathe
• The Tri-County Water Conservancy District
• The Menoken Water District
• The Chipeta Water District
• The Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association

The governing body of the Authority is a five member Board of Directors in which all legislative power of the Authority is vested.

The Authority was established on September 29, 1977, pursuant to the provisions of Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) 1973, 29-1-203.2, as a separate governmental entity to effect the treatment of raw water and transmission of finished water.

Correction Notice for the 2006 Consumer Confidence Report 2007 Edition.  It has been brought to the attention of Project 7 Water Authority, the domestic water treatment plant for the Uncompahgre Valley that a required disclaimer was inadvertently omitted from our latest Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). If you get your water from the Cities of Montrose or Delta, Town of Olathe, Tri-County Water Conservancy, Chipeta Water District or Menoken Water District, you should have received a CCR in late April 2007 informing you of the High Quality of the Drinking Water processed in 2006. The following required statement was missing or incomplete: In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment prescribes regulations limiting the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health. Project 7 and your drinking water providers remain committed to providing safe and affordable water to the residents of the Uncompahgre Valley. Thank you.
