Petition for Exclusion from MWSD

The  Board of Directors has approved a petiton of exclusion from the District submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Parish for a 40-acre parcel on Nancy's Drive.

Fee Increases Effective January 2008

Water and sewer rates were increased in January by approximately 5 percent to better reflect District costs. Historically, the District has operated at a loss, with other sources of income making up the deficit. The Board believes it is fiscally responsible to have the water and sewer fees more accurately reflect actual costs.

Rate changes include:

  • Increase of water service tap fees, sewer service tap fees, and capital improvement fees for new residences and commercial development.
  • Increased fees for bounced checks.
  • Increased charges for turn on/turn off service.

Please note that legal and engineering fees for such services as property development service agreements, plan review and approval and construction will be charged at the actual cost of service and may require monies be placed in escrow.

 

If you have any questions, please contact the District office, 303-838-1800.

Key issues:
1. Radionuclides: Uranium is naturally occurring in our mountain environment. The uranium in our water supply is not new; the regulations are. We are working with engineers and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment


2. Ammonia: Our wastewater effluent must be treated to remove ammonia according to state regulations that protect aquatic life.
