Ann Bunting
Saguache County Municipalities Representative
More About Ann(Saguache, Crestone, Center). She has held that position since 2015. Ann is a longtime Colorado resident, growing up in Glenwood Springs and has lived in Crestone for more than 20 years. She became a Certified Water Professional in 2014 and began working for the Town of Crestone shortly after, first as a Water System Operator and more recently as Water System Manager.

Her interests focus on travel, languages and music- and sharing those interests with her family. But she’s always happy to get back home, where she appreciates clean, satisfying water- and the efforts that many people make to ensure its delivery.
