Interests of the Town Demand Better Water Supply
Canon City faces a water supply decision tied to Cottonwood Creek. Proponents argue the Cottonwood source offers clean mountain water, with two potential reservoir sites and modest dam work, to support growth and avoid costly outside systems. Opponents fear higher land prices and a burden on taxpayers, but advocates insist pure water protects health and supports rapid growth, urging immediate action despite costs.
