Crested Butte council authorizes Town Manager to enact drought-related water restrictions through 2026
Summary
Council unanimously granted the Town Manager authority to enact additional municipal water restrictions for the remainder of 2026 while Gunnison County remains in drought.
The Crested Butte Town Council on June 15 unanimously approved a motion granting the Town Manager authority to enact additional municipal water restrictions for the duration of 2026 while Gunnison County remains in drought.
Public Works Director Shea Earley presented proposed changes to municipal water restrictions to address drought conditions. Council member Gabi Prochaska moved to give the Town Manager that authority; Council member Kate Guibert seconded. A roll call vote was taken and all council members voted "Yes."
The action grants administrative authority rather than spelling out specific mandatory measures in the meeting record. The transcript does not list the exact restrictions staff may impose under the delegated authority, nor does it include a rescission procedure beyond the time limit tied to 2026 and the condition of Gunnison County being in drought.
The measure is time-limited to the 2026 calendar year while the county remains in drought; staff will be responsible for implementing any specific restrictions under the delegated authority.
