Drinking Water: All Clear!

Good news! The most recent water tests showed no problems and the state has rescinded the boil drinking water notification. All clear.

Thanks to everyone for their understanding, helpfulness and great attitudes during the boil water alert. Valley View people are the best people! We are grateful for your patience and support. We're also glad that this was a brief and minor interruption. A special Thank You to camp host Barry Schwartz for his daily trips in his own truck to Salida to help supply OLT with bottled water!

Science Camp, July 24-28

Orient Land Trust wants to give an appreciative Thank You! To the Saguache County Sales Tax Grant fund for their $2500 grant in support of the upcoming Science Camp. We were notified of the award just before Memorial Day and this is just the most recent example of the many ways that Saguache County has supported our efforts. The Science Camp this year is scheduled for July 24 through July 28. We will have daily scientific activities (examples: geology tour, hydroelectric tour, a hike to see the bat outflight, an evening watching the night sky at the telescope) and some other fun summer activities like swimming in the pool and hiking. For more information and to reserve your child's space contact Orient Land Trust at 719-256-4315.

[Update] Drinking Water Alert!

UPDATE: After our latest tests, the State has again given us the all clear. Enjoy drinking our pure spring water once again.

The Valley View drinking water system is under a "Boil Drinking Water" notification from the State of Colorado. We are providing bottled water to our visitors. If you're heading this way, you can help by bringing your own water.
