Cross Connection Control Program
To: All Interlaken lot owners with irrigation systems and/or fire suppression systems installed at your homes.
It is a state and town requirement to have a backflow prevention device installed for these systems to prevent contamination of our culinary water system. This BFPD requirement was passed by Ordinance No. 11 in May of 2024. Verification of the BFPD must be conducted each year by a certified inspector.
The deadline for the annual BFPD verification and inspection is June 30th, for each calendar year. This deadline applies to all lots, regardless of when an inspection was conducted in the prior calendar year. For example, if you had your system inspected in August, 2024, you would still be required to complete the calendar year 2025 inspection by June 30th 2025. The test results should be forwarded to Bart Smith at admin@interlakenut.gov. Note that this requirement applies only to irrigation and fire suppression systems that are connected to the town’s culinary water system. These systems must have a BFPD installed, and complete testing annually, each calendar year.

Annual Water Billing
The town invoices all lot owners annually in January for water usage in the middle of the current fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). There is an annual base rate for usage of 10,000 gallons per month. Additional overage charges apply to usage beyond the base allowance. The water rates are set by the town council. Here are the Current Water Rates.

Interlaken Town Water System Information
Interlaken Town operates its own water system, distributing water to all properties within the Interlaken Town borders.
​
The water source is two wells located 20 feet apart that take water from the same aquifer. The existing system, built in the 1970s, consists of two pumps, run one at a time to fill the storage tank. In 2004 the new storage tank was constructed with a capacity of approximately 400,000 gallons. The water is gravity fed through 8-inch or 12-inch lines throughout the neighborhood. There are fire hydrants in the system. The system is closely monitored and maintained by our two Interlaken Town Water Masters, Brady Probst and Trent Davis. Brady and Trent rotate their schedules to provide continuous service to the town.
