Quality The Metro District adheres to EPA and Colorado Department of Public Health (CDPH) water quality regulations and cooperates 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 and improving the drainage ways to provide wetlands and riparian habitat to filter the stormwater. This is accomplished with the Metro District's channel stabilization program which is in cooperation with UDFCD and Douglas County. This program is funded by the stormwater fee and funds from UDFCD. The Metro District distributes brochures in water bills about how to reduce these pollutants. One of the goals of the Metro District is to reduce litter and trash which is a focus of our public education programs. 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. This page was last updated on
