September 5, 2007--County delays water rules (Durango Herald)
La Plata County Commissioners put on hold a vote to approve new water-supply standards based on concerns that the tougher standards didn't allow new subdivisions of any size to rely on water being trucked in. Instead, commissioners asked county staff to craft a clause that would permit water hauling on a limited basis. They will reconsider the standards at their Sept. 18 meeting. Not allowing any hauling would hurt landowners who wished to subdivide a small part of their land as a matter of necessity.
