Welcome to the Left Hand Water District

Although the costs of water treatment and delivery continue to rise, we work hard to keep operating expenditures contained. There will be no increase in minimum monthly fees or water volume rates for 2012. Construction projects in 2012 are planned to replace aging infrastructure, with a continued emphasis on source water protection and system water quality throughout the District.

Indoor Water Audits
With help from a grant from the Colorado Water Conservation Board, the District would like to help you conserve water and save money in 2012. Working with the Center for ReSource Conservation, we can provide you with a free, whole-house indoor water efficiency check-up. A trained Water Conservation Field Specialist will help you locate water leaks, pinpoint high water usage areas in your home and provide, at no cost, water saving devices such as efficient faucet aerators and low-flow shower heads. Let us give you the means necessary to maximize the water efficiency potential of your home.

The check-up should take approximately one hour to complete. We also will continue to offer outdoor irrigation audits through the Slow the Flow program of CRC.

Contact The Center for ReSource Conservation, a non-profit partner of the Left Hand Water District at 303-999-3820 ext. 217 for an appointment or online request at www.conservationcenter.org.

Rebates
The District will continue funding of rebate credits for low flow toilets, high efficiency clothes washers, ET landscape irrigation controllers and residential wind and rain sensors. Rebates for approved products will be honored until budgeted funds are exhausted in the current calendar year. All paperwork for rebates must be submitted by December 19th to receive a rebate credit in the current calendar year. Visit our website for more information.

Do you know where your master water shut off is? In an emergency or a leak, knowing where to shut off the water can save you money and help limit property damage. The master water shut off is usually located where the water line comes into the house, or near the water heater or washing machine. Make sure you mark the shut off so everyone can find it in an emergency.

In addition to cash, check, or money order, you can use our Direct Pay system, which automatically withdraws your amount due from your bank account on the due date.
