Fountain Creek Watershed Vision Task Force

The Fountain Creek Vision Task Force, begun under the leadership of El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark and Pueblo County Commissioner Loretta Kennedy, created the framework for one of the most progressive and collaborative initiatives in the state of Colorado. Recognizing that issues on Fountain Creek had come to a critical point, leaders in both counties began a discussion that has led to the drafting and signing of an intergovernmental agreement between Pueblo and El Paso counties and municipalities within both jurisdictions.

The Fountain Creek Vision Task Force initially created three subcommittees devoted to remedying excessive water flows, improving water quality, and exploring land-use issues that contribute to these problems. A subcommittee to develop ways to fund an entity dedicated to Fountain Creek was later established. The project was completed in March 2009. It encompasses the hopes and dreams of citizens in both counties to make Fountain Creek an amenity that can be enjoyed by all.
