Shawnee Water Consumer's is an all volunteer organization which is composed of 28 households. SWCA has a board of directors consisting of 7 volunteer members.
Jim Green is our State Certified contract Water Operator and is paid a monthly contract fee which varies according to need. Vincent Tolpo is our coordinator.
SWCA reports periodically to the Colorado Division of Water Quality test results which insures SWCA water meets all state criteria for safe drinking water. SWCA has a treatment facility, storage tank and pipelines to support delivery of the water.
SWCA also reports monthly to the Colorado Division of Water Resources. These reports are about maintaining our augmentation plan. This means that after SWCA pumps water from the river then SWCA must return water to the river. SWCA has source head-gates, ditches and pipelines to transport water to the river and two reservoirs to store water. All of these structures support our water augmentation efforts.
SWCA tries to maintain high-quality service with a budget of $33,000. To help maintain the system, through the years since 1929, grants have been received from federal, state and local funding sources.
SWCA has been joined lately by two other non-profit organizations serving Shawnee. Shawnee History exists to facilitate Shawnee's National Historic District status and to share a very rich Shawnee History. Shawnee Civic Association was formed to help perserve and maintain Shawnee roads, watershed, community needs, and much more.
