Rules and Regulations- This is a comprehensive set of rules and regulations governing the operations and functions of the District. They cover all aspects of District operation and are intended to provide for the orderly administration and operation of the District's Systems (collectively Storm Sewer, Water, Sanitary Sewer, Street Improvements, and Park and Recreation).

Service Plan - The Service Plan is the document that sets forth the powers of the District and is approved not only by the Board of Directors but the La Plata County Commissioners. The Service plan has been amended twice, once in 1982 and in 2008. These amendments served to expand the services provided by the District and include development projections, master plans and financial analyses to support the feasibility of the District's ability to provide required services.

Codes and Standards - The Codes and Standards, considered a supplement to the Rules and Regulations, govern the design and construction of all District Systems. They also serve to standardize the District's policies and procedures for project submittal and review, construction oversight and inspection, and final acceptance procedures.
Copies of the Rules and Regulations, Service Plan, and Codes and Standards are available upon request.
