This Is Longmont – What’s Happening in Our City

Longmont seniors meet Northern Arapaho elders from the Wind River Reservation.

New Documentary Shares Elder Exchange Story

A new documentary has been published that tells the powerful story of connection and friendship between Longmont seniors and Northern Arapaho elders from the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming.

“Where We Meet: Stories of Healing and Hope” chronicles a historic exchange that began in March 2025, when Northern Arapaho elders traveled to Longmont – which is built on land that was once inhabited by their ancestors – and met with Longmont seniors. Longmont seniors then visited the Wind River Reservation the following July.

Through stunning visuals, personal moments and shared experiences, the short documentary honors the lasting friendships formed and highlights the importance of learning and connecting across cultures.

LET’S CLEAR THAT UP

Q: Is treated City water better or safer than local well water?

A: City water is continuously monitored, tested daily and regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, ensuring consistent safety and quality. Private wells are not regulated and owners are responsible for testing and maintenance. For this reason, quality can vary widely depending on local geology and nearby land use.

Q: How does the City handle lead?

A: Longmont’s water system does not contain any lead service lines. This determination is based on an extensive records review and a statistically based service line investigation, both of which are described in detail on the City’s website Lead Protection for Longmont Water webpage.
