Blue Mountain Water District

The Blue Mountain Water District was established in 1977 when residents of the Blue Mountain Estates Subdivision joined together to solve a growing water crisis. As the subdivision developed, natural recharge to individual home wells could not keep up with demand, and by 1976 many wells had begun to go dry. Volunteers from the community formed the district and took on the work of funding, designing, and constructing a community-wide water system — without outside financial assistance. Today the Blue Mountain Water District serves approximately 115 homes in the Blue Mountain Estates Subdivision.
