Where the water comes from
YMCA Rockies Wind River's main water source is purchased surface water. It buys treated water from Town of Estes Park. The seller treats the water, including corrosion control that keeps lead from dissolving out of pipes, while YMCA Rockies Wind River is responsible for its own service line inventory and replacement program.

Getting the line replaced
