Individual well permit holders under a state mandated Water Augmentation Plan which requires the Glacier View Meadows Water and Sewer Association to be its administrator. This includes all improved property owners in Glacier View Meadows, Green Mountain Meadows II, Howling Coyote, Hidden Canyon, North Rim Subdivisions, Glacier View Meadows Community Water System members, and commercial well permit holders.

As you all know, the well permit issued to you by the State of Colorado limits use of that well water to “in house use only”. The well permit is issued to you by the State of Colorado as a result of your Plan of Augmentation, and promises to replace the water you are using. This plan also places upon the Glacier View Meadows Water and Sewer Board of Directors the responsibility to monitor 1) the proper use of well water and 2) the return of water to the ground with appropriate septic systems

The extended drought that we and all of our neighbors in Colorado have been experiencing is highlighting the necessity for the Board to review its effort in the areas of monitoring water use, and in educating the community on the meaning of “in house use only”. The Board has also moved to hire an employee to monitor meter readings and report abuse. The READINGS MUST BE REPORTED ANNUALLY. All water withdrawn from the above wells must be reported to the State Water Commissioner annually and all water used must be replaced by the Water Augmentation Plan. The following rules and regulations were approved by the Water and Sewer Board on September 18th, 2002.

The following are examples of outside uses of water from a well which the Association will not cite as a violation:

1. Washing of windows with a pail and sponge or squeegee.

2. Washing deck and or siding in preparation for painting.

3. Washing paint brushes and other maintenance equipment.

4. Patching damaged damaged concrete ( foundations, piers, walls, etc. ).

The following are examples of outside water uses that will be cited as a violation:
