📰 News we're reading

• County commissioners pass disaster declaration (ksjd.org) — Montezuma County's new disaster declaration puts Mancos a step closer to potential federal reimbursement for flood damage that left its water non-potable. Funding still depends on presidential approval. The declaration also allows faster emergency contracting for county road repairs, while flood-related tree limbs can go to the landfill free through year's end.
   

• Mancos residents rally together amid water restrictions (the-journal.com) — Mancos's boil-water advisory remained in effect Tuesday, with no timeline for lifting it after flooding overwhelmed the drinking water system with sediment. Volunteers are distributing bottled water, non-potable water and essential supplies daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Mancos Brewery, 484 U.S. Highway 160 E Frontage Road.
