Power Outage
In late December, we experienced a power outage that lasted several hours. Since then, SMPA has taken steps to ensure this won't happen again. In a letter sent from SMPA's General Manager and CEO Kevin Ritter to the mayors of Mountain Village and Telluride, Ritter outlined what SMPA has done since the incident. We have provided the letter for your review.
