Water line rupture causing issues at Lake Pueblo State Park

PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- Lake Pueblo State Park currently lacks potable (safe to drink) water due to an eight-inch pipeline rupturing.

According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), portable toilets are being delivered to the park for current campers and guests.

There is also no water for showers, dump stations, or any other uses. All six campsites, the visitor center, both marinas and boat decon stations are affected.

According to officials, park rangers first noticed an issue when they found a pool of water in one of the camping parking lots.

CPW said no new reservations are being taken for the campgrounds until at least July 12.

The department is working with K.R.Swerdfeger Construction to fix the broken water main.

Still, many campers told KRDO they're prepared - bringing trailers fully equipped with enough water for them.

Park rangers are optimistic the fix will only take a few days, not weeks.
