Safety and Security

Please be aware that our staff needs to come near or onto your property for reading meters, meter repair or water line repairs. If anyone enters your property and claims to be with LMWD please feel free to ask for identification. Most of the time staff vehicles will have identification. Do not let anyone into your home without verification.

Please report suspicious activity around fire hydrants, water valves or vaults and reservoirs to the Sheriff’s Department or if an emergency, please call 911.  =lease note vehicle make, model, color and license number if possible and exact time of day.

The District installed an emergency generator at the Treatment Facility in 2005 and a portable emergency generator interface at the pump station.  As long as the generators can be fueled and chemicals can be delivered to the Treatment Facility, water can be produced and distributed indefinitely at full capacity.

The District is in compliance with the Dam Safety Branch requirement for an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for each of its three dams.  EAPs are shared with emergency management (Clear Creek County, Jefferson County, and State of Colorado).  For security reasons, these are not available to the public; requests for EAP information may be made to the Colorado Division of Water Resources, Dam Safety Branch.
