WATER | South Adams County Water & Sanitation District Expansion

The majority of the Local District Study Area is presently

included in the corporate boundaries of the City of Brighton (Ward 3), and could only be served by a special contractual arrangement with the City. Such a contractual arrangement does not exist, and is not contemplated by SACWSD.

SACWSD cannot expand its boundaries or service area without

special contractual arrangements, and SACWSD has no plans to expand services or its boundaries.
