Behind the scenes... making water look easy
Rogers Mesa Domestic Water Company
The recent cold weather and lack of snow cover has caused ice to clog the headgate and pipe that brings water from Leroux Creek to the Hotchkiss water treatment plant, resulting is reduced flow into the plant. The town asks that we all be as conservative as possible with our water usage until the problem can be resolved.
Due to a computer problem, it was necessary to change the company (Diane's) email address. The new email is rogersmesawater@gmail.com .
A not-for-profit, company serving approximately 370 families on Rogers Mesa, just West of Hotchkiss, Delta County, Colorado.

Our water is processed at the Town of Hotchkiss water treatment facility in which RMDWC is a financial partner.

A Recent Repair...
Many, many thanks to our Emergency Response Team of Supervisor Jim Firor, Certified Operator Cassandra Shenk, RMDWC Vice President Paul Schmucker, and backhoe (and shovel) operator John Odle. An extra special thanks to neighbor Enos Ruble (and his friend Roger) who brought in his track hoe when it became apparent bigger equipment was needed. The pipe was hard to find and the hole was deep and muddy but the dedicated crew persevered to restore water to our J Road neighbors.
