Columbine Lake Water District
The Columbine Water & Sanitation District was formed in September of 1970 to provide water and sewer to owners of Columbine Lake Country Club, Inc. At first, water and sewer was provided by Grand Lake. In 1973, Columbine Lake Water and Sanitation District built water plant #1 and started providing their own water. Three Lakes Water and Sanitation was created in 1971 and began managing the sewer for the owners of Columbine Lake Country Club, Inc in 1980. The word sanitation was later removed from the Columbine Lake Water and Sanitation District and became Columbine Lake Water District.
Each entity is controlled by its' own Board of Directors. The Columbine Lake Water District is managed through an intergovernmental agreement with Three Lakes Water & Sanitation to provide maintenance and office personnel for the Columbine Lake Water District.
The Columbine Lake Water Board meets will meet on the third Monday of each month at 3:00 PM at the Three Lakes Water and Sanitation Office located at 1111 County Road 48. Regular office hours of operation are 8am-12pm and 1pm-5pm, Monday - Fridays except for holidays. Meeting agenda
The Board of Directors of the Columbine Lake Water District decided that an “insurance pool” would be proper to assist any homeowners who find themselves in a similar situation. The enclosed Resolution passed by the Board explains the pool plan, which requires that each homeowner contribute annually to cover the steep excavation costs and prevent such financial hardships in the future. In many situations where water surfaces on the ground in the road right of way, and District personnel cannot be certain if it is a water main or water service line, District personnel will contact an excavator to dig to make the repair. If it is a water service line, the homeowner is responsible, and the Invoice is forwarded to the homeowner for payment. The District cannot dig on private property and therefore any breaks occurring on the private property shall be repaired and paid for by the homeowner. Under this insurance pool, that portion of the service line from the main water line to the property boundary will be covered. The pool will pay the Invoice, up to $10,000 per occurrence. This policy will not cover expenses already covered by home insurance policies or by contractor warranties to new service lines. Details of the policy have been incorporated into Resolution No. 2006-4-1. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this plan, or any other issues you would like to discuss, you are encouraged to attend future meetings of the Board of Directors of Columbine Lake Water District, which are held on the third Monday of each month at 3:00 p.m. Meeting notices are posted at the Clubhouse and at the Homeowners Association office every month. Please note that the Columbine Lake Water District has posted a Customer Confidence Report at the CLCC office and the Water District office. If you have any questions please feel free to call the Water District.

Important Information About Your Drinking Water Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this situation does not require that you take immediate action, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do and what we are doing to correct this situation. We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During July 2004, we did not complete all monitoring or testing for total coliform and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time. What should I do? There is nothing you need to do at this time. What happened? . Columbine Lake Water District is required to take one sample per month for total coliform testing except that in the month of July. two samples are required. Only one sample was taken. What is being done? We have since taken the required samples and the testing results indicate that we are meeting drinking water standards. For more information, please contact Dan Schrader at 970-627-3683 or PO Box 555 , Grand Lake , CO 80447. Colorado Public Water System #CO0125155. ** Please remember that, as an owner you are responsible for the water line from your home to your connection to the water main. Your responsibility does not end at your curb valve. The Columbine Water District is responsible for maintenance of the main water line. |
