| Name | North Weld County, Colorado : Water District |
| Organization Description | North Weld County Water District provides drinking water to homes, businesses, agricultural and livestock operations in the area north of Greeley, east of Fort Collins, south of Nunn and west of the Gill/Galeton area. The District was created in 1962 and began selling and installing taps around 1965 once infrastructure was in place.
There was no public water supply at the time for local homeowners and businesses that relied upon irrigation water or wells to serve their needs. From the inconsistent water that these sources provide, these folks determined that a long term, reliable supply was a necessity.
North Weld County Water District is a statutory special district formed under the laws of the State of Colorado. As a Special District, NWCWD is a quasi municipal corporation. Quasi-municipal corporations deliver services normally provided by a county or town government. The District Enterprise was created by the District, in order to comply with the provisions of Section 20, Article X of the Colorado Constitution and Article 45.1 of Title 37 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, as applicable.
The District is governed by a directly elected, five member Board of Directors. Any registered voter who resides in or owns taxable property in the District can vote in District elections and serve on the Board. Board members serve staggered four year terms and meet twice a month.

| Organization Concerns | The District is currently involved in several long range projects such as several large subdivisions that will involve non-potable irrigation systems, and many District projects that include updating pump stations, looping lines, and installing a new waterline from the filter plant. The District appreciates your patience while we work on these numerous projects that may cause low pressure or your water service to be out. The District does its best to call all customers affected by a planned outage but in the case of an emergency leak, our main objective is to get the leak repaired and therefore we cannot contact customers. It is always a good idea to have a reserve of water for emergency situations. Bottled water has a long shelf life and during an emergency or unplanned outage can ease the inconvenience of the outage. The District has also enacted a Critical User Program for first priority notification status of customers who utilize water for medical or health related concerns. This program also covers customers who require a reliable supply of water continuously and without such continuity would endanger human health or incur damages of more than $1,000. |
