**** N E W*** SFTR Water System Survey - Feb 2026

Ditch Rat Water System Survey - February 2026

In February 2026 the Metro will be performing a comprehensive system survey ( water leak detection) in order to assist with planning this year’s projects.

This survey will be done by tank systems, starting with tank 1. Each system survey will require turning off all meters in that system for a period of about 6 hours to allow accurate testing of the lines.

As soon as dates are chosen, notices will be posted on the SFTR main website and Facebook to allow users to plan accordingly.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We came to Santa Fe Trail Ranch to retire and to find peace and quiet. What a wonderful surprise to find this awesome community nestled back in the mountains, it feels like we found paradise!

For several years my wife and I looked all over the northwest mountain areas for a perfect place for us. A real estate broker told us that when we found the ONE the land would sing to us. When we first saw it in July 2000 at the very uppermost of Cottonwood canyon Dr. it really did sing to us and it has been singing to us ever since. SFTR will remain in our hearts and memories forever.
