Air Quality Notifications

The Town of Erie and the State of Colorado have Air Quality Alerts that residents can sign up to receive. For Erie-specific alerts based on our Air Quality Monitoring Program, sign up on Notify Me at www.erieco.gov/list.aspx.

For information regarding regional air quality issues (such as the presence of wildfire smoke, ozone alerts, and particulate alerts) residents can subscribe to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Air Quality Alerts system.

Information about local and regional air quality events are also available by visiting the CDPHE Air Pollution Control Division’s Twitter page.

Help Control the Mosquito Population

Erie residents can help control the mosquito population in our community by not over watering lawns. Sprinklers that soak the sidewalks create runoff into the storm drains which fills ditches, leading to standing water.

Standing water at culverts in ditches is the primary breeding grown of mosquitos, especially those that carry West Nile virus. The hot temperatures we’ve been experiencing and standing pools of water are the perfect condition for culex mosquitos (those that carry West Nile virus). The Town of Erie has contracted with a local vendor (Vectra Disease Control Inc.) to control adult mosquito populations. Let’s all work together to keep our mosquito population down.

Water Quality in Erie

The Town of Erie is constantly monitoring and adjusting its water treatment process to optimize our drinking water system. One way Erie Public Work's Water Division does this is by analyzing the water’s effects on materials in the system (plumbing) under a variety of conditions. This study helps ensure our drinking water does not corrode the materials through which it is conveyed.

During the study, these plumbing system samples are weighed to determine any loss of material. These studies take many months and ultimately help the Town in choosing treatment adjustments that not only continue to ensure our water is safe, but also to ensure we are protecting the systems, including your home appliances and plumbing.
