Aspen Valley Polo Fields

Civil and environmental engineering for the 100-acre Aspen Valley Polo facility in Garfield County.

RFE completed the civil and environmental engineering portion of the land use package for the 100-acre Aspen Valley Polo facility in Garfield County. The project consisted of two 14-acre fields and a number of structures to support the equestrian activities. RFE designed the water system, septic, dry utilities, and road infrastructure to serve the property. Phase two of the project includes up to 30 single family homes with centralized water and wastewater treatment facilities. The project also included water distribution system modeling and design, as well as sanitary sewer collection system design.

Challenges & highlights

As Engineer of Record for the Basalt Sanitation District, we oversee projects ranging from wastewater treatment facilities to collection system improvements.

We serve multiple districts across Colorado’s mountain communities and have partnered with Basalt Sanitation District since 2018. This long-term relationship reflects our commitment to consistent results.

The results

Our long-standing relationship and proven track record allow us to help the District make informed, long-term decisions that strengthen the community and better serve its customers.

Through nearly a decade of partnership, we have developed deep institutional knowledge of the District’s systems, allowing us to solve problems more efficiently and approach planning holistically.

During our tenure as District Engineer, we have helped secure over $1.5 million in grant funding for capital projects, completed a rate study to guide the next 30 years of service, and established a financial plan that supports long-term stability alongside future improvements.
