Last night August 14, 2025, at the regular Board of Trustees meeting for the Town of Springfield, the board formally accepted the resignation of Mayor Tyler Gibson.
Tyler has always exemplified what it means to be involved. Whatever the Town of Springfield had going on, you could be sure that Tyler was there—ready to lend a helping hand. Employees and residents alike found him approachable, dependable, and a shining example of democracy in action.
Even in his resignation, he remains a true son of the community that raised him—always focused on leading it toward the next great and right decision. These are all traits that will serve him well in his new role as County Judge for the Colorado 15th Judicial District.
While we are saddened to say goodbye to Mayor Tyler Gibson, please join us in congratulating Judge Tyler Gibson as he begins this next chapter of his life.
The board has officially declared a vacancy and letters of interest are due by September 2, 2025. In the meantime, please wish Interim Mayor Wittler the best of luck as he continues the legacy Former Mayor Gibson leaves behind.

🚨 Important Note for Springfield Residents 🚨
We have seen a sponsored ad going around from “Select-Justice” claiming that our local water supply is contaminated with toxic chemicals and that residents may be entitled to a cash settlement.
⚠️ Please be cautious — this ad appears to be misleading or fraudulent.
Our local water department has confirmed that PFAs (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are NOT present in the wells we use for our drinking water.
📌 It's also worth noting that similar posts targeting other cities have been shared by the same page, using nearly identical language.
These types of posts are often created to collect personal information. Always verify health and safety claims with official sources like the Town of Springfield and our water department before responding to ads like these.
Stay informed and stay safe!
Due to lightning, the Springfield Swimming Pool will now be closed today, July 26, 2025.
Round 2 is on for tonight... If the weather decides to cooperate, the crew is planning to fog for mosquitos about 9:00 PM tonight, July 24, 2025.
We've experienced a minor hiccup with the well this morning. To help it catch up, we kindly ask all residents to shut off their sprinklers until tomorrow.
Thanks for your cooperation and understanding — every little bit helps!

Ladies Morning today, July 23, 2025 has been cancelled.
Chemical levels in the pool were spiked to ensure proper cleaning after yesterday's closure. Those levels are on their way back down to safe swimming levels, and while they are not quite there for our wonderful ladies, they should be good by this afternoon's open swim.
