Town of Pinedale begins hydrant flushing (posted 5/23/2025)
Town of Pinedale
The Town of Pinedale is conducting our annual Water Distribution System flushing program starting Thursday, May 22. The hydrant flushing program typically takes 2-3 weeks to complete and is a very important part of our annual water system maintenance.

The flushing program enhances water quality by removing sediment from mainline pipes, verifies the proper operation of fire hydrants and valves and helps us find weaknesses in our water system. If you see a crew flushing a hydrant on your street, avoid running tap water and using the washing machine or the dishwasher until the flushing is done. If tap water is used during flushing, it could come out with sediment that causes discoloration. If you encounter discolored water, shut the water off and wait several minutes. After waiting, check the clarity by running cold water for a few minutes, allowing new water to work its way into your pipes.

SAFV seeks volunteers (posted 5/14/2025)
SAFV
The Sublette County Sexual Assault & Family Violence Task Force (SAFV) is looking for compassionate individuals who would like to volunteer their time and join our team here at SAFV.

As a volunteer, first and foremost, you would have days that you were on-call and therefore answer any calls that may come in from the crisis line. The volunteer program requires you to pass a background check, participate in a 40-hour advocacy training and sign a confidentiality form. There would also be opportunities to help out at our annual golf fundraiser in September, along with help at booths in the summer and hang ribbons for Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault months.

If you find yourself being a caring, compassionate and understanding individual, then you might make an amazing volunteer! This can be a great way to help people who are victims of domestic violence acts. If this is something you may be interested in, please feel free to call or stop by our office Monday – Friday, 7am-5pm. Call 307-367-6305 or 253 N. Sublette Ave in Pinedale, make sure to ask for Cheyenne.

Shallow Water Main Construction Update – May 2, 2025 (posted 5/5/2025)
Town of Pinedale
Construction activities are scheduled to ramp up beginning May 5, 2025, with underground water tie-ins starting at the intersection of Washington Street and South Shanley Avenue. The contractor will begin excavation work in this area on May 5, with a planned water service shutdown on May 6, 2025.

Town staff will directly notify any homeowners affected by the shutdown. At this time, only a small number of residences are expected to be impacted.

In addition, the contractor will begin asphalt removal on Shanley Avenue, Quartz Avenue, and Jade Street during the week of May 5, 2025. Every effort will be made to minimize road closures and disruptions to local traffic.
