Distric Rates for 2025
In response to increases in master meter water rates and service fees from Denver Water and increases in treatment costs from Metro Water Recovery, the Lakehurst Water and Sanitation District Board of Directors voted to increase our rates in 2025. The water consumption, service charge, and suspension fee increase will affect all District commercial and residential customers and will take effect January 1, 2025.

*There will be an additional $100.00 Fee for restoring water service after business hours/weekends effective January 1, 2025.
Lakehurst Water and Sanitation District does not have a property tax and must rely on water and sewer rates for revenue. These revenues are used to purchase water from Denver and treatment services from Metro Water Recovery and offset the operation and maintenance expenses for over 86 miles of water mains and 71 miles of sewer mains as well as the replacement of the aging water and sewer system.
Lakehurst continues to provide services at rates that are among the lowest rates in Denver suburban areas.
Additional information regarding the rate increase and other water or sewer related topics is available on our website, www.lakehurstwater.org or by calling Lakehurst Water and Sanitation District office at (303) 985-7895.

Backflow & Cross-Connection Control
Since the mid 1980's the State of Colorado through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has mandated that each water district in Colorado must implement a cross-connection control program (CCCP) on the potable water system. Starting in 2020, water districts must also enforce compliance and report back to CDPHE.
Effective January 1, 2025, Lakehurst Water & Sanitation District will be performing all backflow prevention and cross-connection control surveys and enforcement that Denver Water has been performing on behalf of our customers.
The purpose of the Lakehurst Water & Sanitation District's CCCP is:
- To protect the public water system from the possibility of contamination or pollution by cross-connections.
- To eliminate and/or control actual or potential crossconnections.
- To provide a continuing program of cross-connection control and backflow prevention that will effectively prevent the contamination or pollution of the public water system by cross-connection.
All commercial, industrial, domestic, irrigation, and fire line services are required to have an approved backflow prevention assembly installed. Requirements for multi- and single-family residences are assessed based on site hazards. All customers with an auxiliary water supply, such as a well or a pond or residential fire suppression system, are also required to install and maintain backflow prevention assemblies.
Additional information, including an online Backflow Contact Form for updating the District with mailing address and other contact information regarding backflow prevention can be found on the District website. Also, for their convenience, customers will find there a partial list of backflow testing companies. Lakehurst Water & Sanitation District does not endorse or recommend the list of some of the backflow testing companies who perform testing within our district. The list is provided simply as a courtesy to our customers, and it is incumbent upon each customer to do their due diligence in selecting a backflow testing contractor. This list may be updated from time to time.
