Overview

LMWD is a Special District as governed by Title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. In terms of a system it is comprised of tap owners and property owners included in the District’s boundaries, the Board of Directors, and the contractors and consultants who provide operation and management. Its assets include the land, rights to water within its reservoirs, a treatment facility, and components of the distribution system, such as the main pipeline and meters.

Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water.  A Drinking Water Quality Report is compiled each summer; copies may be requested at any time.

The District must comply with a number of regulatory agencies for water quality and administration/governmental issues. Our water source is surface water from the Lower Beaver Brook Reservoir, which is fed from the larger Upper Beaver Brook Reservoir of the Beaver Brook Watershed. The water is than measured, treated and tested at the John P. Downs Treatment Facility, pumped up to our million gallon storage tank, and then distributed to about 500 households, governmental agencies and businesses by gravity flows.
