Welcome to the web site of the East Boulder County Water District ("District"). It is the major source for all information concerning the District and its operation. 

The District was formed by election of the residents of  Apollo Estates, Benchmark Estates, Panorama Park and Paragon Estates on November 2, 1999. The District has been assigned Public Water System ID #CO0107236. The election established the initial Service Area and which properties initially received water.

Additional properties have since included within the District and on August 19, 2008, the Court approved the District's Service Area Expansion to contain five properties off of Majestic Drive. The initial delivery of water to these properties commenced on November 23, 2009. This is the latest District Boundary Map.

Two major infrastructure improvements have been made since the initial distribution system was established. A 100,000 gallon storage tank to provide for fire-fighting and other large demands for water entered service on June 9, 2005. A large-capacity booster pump to meet the demands of fire-fighting and other large demands for water entered service on January 17, 2008.

Some sections are under additional development and will be added as they are completed. The reader is encouraged  to bring to the attention of the District's web master any confusing information, discrepancies, or errors found, or any information that should be added.

Specific changes are listed below:

  • The Archives have been updated with all of the information from 2009.
  • There is a bond refinance discussion and decision during the January 11, 2010 Regular Meeting. The objectives are to: lower the mill levy and the associated total repayment cost of the remaining bonds by; obtain $100,000 for the Long Term Capital Improvement reserves in order to lower the water rates by not requiring so much to be set aside in reserve. The bond underwriters will present their analysis for the Board's decision.
  • In the Non-District Resident portion of the "Doing Business with Us" page, it misstated that an owner must purchase a tap from the District for the Inclusion Petition to be approved. This was in conflict with the Rules and Regulations. The wording has been changed to point out that there is a risk that a water tap might not be available at a date later than when the owner was "Included" within the District, and that this risk is totally the responsibility of the owner, and not the District.

The navigation bar to the left provides quick access to information concerning the on-going operations of the District. It can act as a table-of-contents to assist in finding what information is available. There are eight major sections to the web site, and each is briefly summarized below:

  • Home provides an introduction to the District and an overview of the web site.

  • Meetings provides Information concerning the scheduling, location, and this year's agenda, minutes of past meetings and monthly financial reports.

  • Financial Information provides information on the annual budget process, a list of the District fees, a table of the District water rates, and financially-oriented government reports.

  • Doing Business with Us provides information on getting water from the District, change in property ownership, billing issues, reporting water-related problems, and dealing with construction activities on your property.

  • Governance provides the District's Colorado Senate Bill 09-087 Annual Notice, By-Laws, Rules and Regulations and Intergovernmental Agreement.

  • Forms and Reports provides necessary forms that can be printed and completed for working with the District as well as all reports that the District must generate.

  • Archives provides previous year's documents (financial, minutes, reports), previous versions of governance documents, history of significant changes to the web site, and the past newslettersWater News.

  • Contact Us provides the details on how to contact the District's Board of Directors (including terms of office), system operators, business office,  and web master through mail, e-mail, and telephone.

The web site has been designed to allow the reader to change the size of the type on the page. This is done by going to the "View menu" of the browser (e.g., Internet Explorer) and selecting "Text Size" and choosing a size other than "Medium." This also affects the size of the text when the page is printed. For those readers with widescreen computer monitors, the page shape may be widened by dragging the right window edge as desired. The information will reflow to the new window size (if made too small, the information will not be fully displayed). Other information is provided in Adobe Acrobat format, requiring Adobe Acrobat Reader, which may be obtained free through download Adobe Reader.

Note: Where differences exist between this electronic document and any official documents adopted by the District, the latter shall be considered accurate and controlling. Every effort will be made to correct such discrepancies when they are brought to the attention of the District—see Contact Us.
