Vendor and Utility Company Access to Pinewood Springs
There has been a coordinated effort between CDOT, the National Guard and essential utility companies to provide some services to Pinewood during the road rebuilding of highway 36. Last week, we were able to get Waste Management and One Way Disposal permission to enter the area and remove trash from the neighborhood. Propane companies were also allowed in to refuel tanks before winter weather makes this more challenging. The Guard and CDOT have indicated they view these vendors as essential to the community and will continue to try and give them access. The key word is “try.” Right now, the highway is completely closed during construction hours (7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.) We can’t predict what will be happening with construction on any given...

When I look back at our lives and our community 32 days ago, it is overwhelming to think about the life-shifting events we’ve all had to endure. We all have our individual stories yet they blend together in a complex web of experiences. We’ve gone through something as a community. Mother Nature did her best to tear down everything we built, yet she couldn’t tear apart the fabric of who we are. The Flood It was about 6:00 AM on September 12th when the power went out. My husband was called into work in Boulder and my 8 year old son and I were alone in Pinewood Springs. I had been up all night obsessively watching the news on...
Read MoreTrash Removal and Propane Deliveries
The National Guard is giving priority access to Waste Management and One Way Disposal. Getting old trash out of the neighborhood is an important step to help alleviate any problems with bears. This does not mean the community is ready for everyone to return home. Aside from the broken highways, the water system is not back online and phones are still out. Waste Management will resume its normal route every Wednesday and One Way will resume their service every Monday. They will be in the community in the morning. Obviously, they can only serve the homes that are accessible to them. Additionally, Waste Management will be delivering a 30 yard roll-off dumpster for community use to help remove debris. The location of this dumpster will be updated after it’s...
