Water & Sewer
General Information

There are many communities like ours in Colorado and they are commonly referred to as Covenant Controlled Subdivisions, Common Interest Ownerships, and/or Homeowners’ Associations (HOA). The portion of the Colorado Revised Statutes that applies to the government and operation of common interest communities,communities like Glacier View Meadows, is called the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act or CCIOA. One responsibility of the Glacier View Meadows Association is to educate current owners and prospective owners about the governing rules and regulations for our community. All board members, staff members, and residents are required to understand and follow the governing documents for each Association.
