The Perry Park Water and Sanitation District was established in the late 1960s to provide water and wastewater services to developments within its service boundary. The District currently provides service to approximately 1600 customers and at total buildout is expected to have about 3,400 customers.
Perry Park Water and Sanitation District is a governmental entity and not a business for profit. Its purpose is to ensure safe and reliable drinking water is delivered and that sewer, (wastewater), is treated, released and used for renewable water augmentation 365 days a year, 24/7.
The District is governed by a five-member board of directors that are elected by the residents of the community to represent them. Every board member is a property owner and lives in the community. Ms. Diana Miller, District Manager, and her staff conduct the daily management of the District. Mr. Will Parker, Operations Supervisor, and his staff, perform 7 day a week operations and respond to emergency calls. Mr. Parker individually, participates in planning and project management on behalf of the District. Board meetings are held, (unless otherwise posted), the third Wednesday of each month at 2:00 pm at the District’s office and residents of Perry Park are always welcome.
It is a quasi-governmental entity called a special district that provides the water and sewer (wastewater) services for the Perry Park area.
A special district is a political subdivision of the State of Colorado, which is established to provide community services such as (in our case) water and wastewater services. An elected board of directors, each of which must permanently reside or be property owners and registered in Colorado to vote, governs a special district. They are all non-profit quasi-governmental entities that have the power to tax and provide any community services, except law enforcement.
All of the District’s Board members have been elected by the residents that are permanently residing in or owning property within the boundaries of the District and are registered voters of Colorado. The Directors of the 5-member Board are elected to staggered 4-year terms and can serve up to 2 consecutive terms.
The Board of Directors meets every 3rd Wednesday of each month at 2:00 pm in the District’s office, unless otherwise posted. There are also special meetings scheduled when the need arises, which are also posted. All meetings are open to the public and are posted at least 72 hours before the meeting. Notices are posted at the District office and this website.
Anyone that permanently resides in or owns property within the District’s boundaries and is a registered Colorado voter can run to be elected to serve on the District’s Board.
For a list of names and bios for the current board members, please refer to the Meet the Board page of this website.
