Space
"I believe that the managing
agent is dumping yard waste on the open space," she said. "Look behind
the eastern fence, just south of Niwot Road and you will see piles of yard
waste in the open space." [Full

MVFD Is On The Medical
Attack
June 18, The Mountain View
Fire Department (MVFD) officially put its new Medical Attack Vehicle into
service. The 300 horsepower truck will be available to area residents with
medical emergencies "24/7." The unit will be based at the Mountain View
Fire Station on Niwot Road.
"This unit is equipped to
fight fires too," explained Chris Queen, a 14-year veteran. "It carries
a 30 pound air-foam system, enough to put out a car fire or a one room
fire." He also stated that most of the calls are for "chest pain, shortness
of breath." Auto accidents are a close second.
Queen is one of six Paramedics/Certified
firefighters who will man the ambulance in three shifts.
Patients will be taken to
one of three area hospitals, depending on the medical protocol: Boulder
Community, Longmont United or Avista Hospitals.

Queen" Sue Prahl
Sue
Prahl is very modest about the many years of volunteer work she has put
in for the Niwot community and for Niwot Youth Sports (NYS). She says simply,
"It takes volunteer hours to make our kids’ lives better, so I just do
it."

Left Hand Water District
Replaces
Gunbarrel Water Lines
Work crews have begun replacement
of the water pipes in Gunbarrel Estates as part of a three-year project.
Left Hand Water District,
which serves the area, has had an unusually large number of leaks in the
Gunbarrel area during the past several years. Originally installed by developer
Bowron Builders, Inc., as part of a private well water and distribution
system for homes in the area, the piping was cast iron and had begun to
rust. In the early 1970’s Left Hand Water District took over operation
of the system.
According to Kathy Peterson,
manager of Left Hand Water District, "The County required that we overlay
the entire roadbed, rather than simply patch the roadway. This (overlay)
increased the cost significantly and hence the project will be phased over
three years."
