Behind the scenes... making water look easy

Due to a computer problem, it was necessary to change the company (Diane's) email address. The new email is rogersmesawater@gmail.com .
The Board of Directors has decided to offer two new taps for 2024. Go to the "Become a Member" page to see the process and application. Application due by the end of November.
A not-for-profit, company serving approximately 370 families on Rogers Mesa, just West of Hotchkiss, Delta County, Colorado.
Clean Water
Our water comes from snow-melt collected in reservoirs in the Leroux Creek headwaters on the flank of Grand Mesa.
Locally Processed
Our water is processed at the Town of Hotchkiss water treatment facility in which RMDWC is a financial partner.
Carefully maintained
We maintain 26 miles of distribution pipe, a pump station, a 150,000 gallon storage tank, and a maintenance barn.

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.
