The Town of Eaton has been actively monitoring and preparing for the winter storm. Our Public Works crew will be out today with snow removal equipment and has been working since last night to get ahead of the storm to the extent possible. 

Public Safety and the Eaton Colorado Police Department is also prepared to be on alert and assist where needed in helping the community. 

As Colorado prepares for another round of snow, Xcel Energy crews are ready to get the lights back on if customers lose power. We also have tips customers can use to stay safe, report outages, and stay informed when severe weather strikes.

Starting January 1, 2023, Colorado House Bill 21-1162, also known as the Colorado Plastic Pollution Reduction Act, will require certain retail stores to charge a $0.10 fee on all single-use carryout bags. This will include both paper and plastic bags. 

The law was passed in an effort to reduce disposable bags in use in Colorado, which often end up in landfills or become litter.
