CANON CITY, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management Royal Gorge Field Office is set to begin work on the Park Center Well this week. Construction on the site will require the use of a short bypass road on Red Canyon Road. Work on the well is expected to take less than two weeks.
Park Center Well is an 80-year-old artesian well located on BLM-administered public lands near Cañon City. The well supplies domestic and fire suppression uses to approximately 4,000 users in the Park Center Water District.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
