PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) - Pueblo County wants to be included in a federal lawsuit against Colorado Springs.
The Pueblo Chieftain reports (https://bit.ly/2k7KxMr ) that the lawsuit says pollutants discharged into Fountain Creek cause problems in Pueblo and other Arkansas River tributaries to the east.
Pueblo County commissioners on Wednesday asked staff to file a motion to intervene in the lawsuit, which was filed by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in November.
County commission chairman Terry Hart says the county wants to make sure it has a seat at the table during the litigation.
Colorado Springs mayor John Suthers released a statement saying he is disappointed in Pueblo County’s decision to intervene in the lawsuit.
