Water Quality
The Metro District adheres to EPA and Colorado Department of Public Health (CDPH) water quality regulations and cooperate with Centennial Water & Sanitation District (CWSD) to protect community water sources like McLellan Reservoir. Water quality is addressed both physically (water quality ponds) and through programs (public education of pollution prevention, erosion control and grading permits).

The Metro District's municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) is the open space drainage ways.  The Metro District's goal for improving stormwater quality in these drainage ways is focused on reducing the pollutants to the system.  The Metro District will be distributing brochures in water bills on how to reduce these pollutants.

If a spill of hazardous materials has occurred, please notify the Douglas County Sheriff's Office at 303-660-7500 and the Metro Districts at 303-791-0430.
