New CoWARN website launched, take action today!
Colorado's Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network launched a new and much-improved website in fall 2023! However, the new website could not retain all the information from the old website. So, all CoWARN members need to please update their membership profiles on the new website. So far, only 63 out of 246 CoWARN members have updated their membership information. Because of this there have been multiple CoWARN activations that many CoWARN members did not receive: Two Buttes 8/27/24, Gardner 8/29/24, Genoa 11/19/24. If you did not receive text or email notification of these activations, please take action today to update your contact information and system membership through the new CoWARN website.
How does the new website work?
As a CoWARN member your water or wastewater facility will have a profile on the website. Each member profile will assign primary users who can activate CoWARN to send out email/text messages to the CoWARN network. As a user under your facility’s membership, you will need to:
- Reset your personal password
- Navigate to your dashboard by clicking on the red icon in the top right hand corner of the screen.
- Update your personal information - be sure to add a cell phone number as you will need to receive a text message to log into the site.
- Create your facility’s membership profile - Under “my systems” click “Add”. You are now the primary user for the membership profile.
- Assign other primary users by clicking “Add” under “System Contacts”
For more information and videos explaining the process, please follow these instructions and reach out to Kyra Gregory with any questions or issues you encounter.
New Mutual Aid Agreement
The CoWARN steering committee has revised the CoWARN Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement. Please sign and return a copy of the updated agreement to CoWARN administrator Kyra Gregory (kyra.gregory@state.co.us). See new MAA here. Please note this is the new agreement that went into effect on January 8th, 2025 regardless of received signatures.
A short description of the updates is below.
- Correct Colorado Revised Statutes references
- Revise definitions of operational structure to better reflect current operations and create flexibility for any future structural changes
- Remove specific language regarding agreement expiration
- Clarify CoWARN’s role in activations and that CoWARN is not a guarantor in any transactions nor an administrator of transactions.
