<br />History of the Consolidated Districts
<br />
<br />The original Evergreen Metropolitan District, located in Jefferson County, Colorado, was
<br />organized on October 15, 1948 as the Evergreen Sanitation District, for the purpose of
<br />constructing and servicing sanitary sewer utilities to the central core of the Evergreen
<br />community, As development outside the District's boundaries increased, other sanitation districts
<br />were formed, These other districts contracted with the Evergreen Sanitation District to provide
<br />sewage treatment and system maintenance for their customers andlor facilities,
<br />
<br />This district became a metropolitan district with water capabilities on February 27, 1979. The
<br />districts with whom Evergreen Metropolitan District contracts for water service are also the same
<br />ones to which the District provides sewage treatment andlor wastewater system maintenance,
<br />These are the West Jefferson County Metropolitan District, Upper Bear Creek Water and
<br />Sanitation District, EI Rancho Metropolitan District, and the Kittredge Sanitation and Water
<br />District.
<br />
<br />The result of these inter-district contracts has been an economizing in service costs to system
<br />users, and a high quality of water treatment and wastewater effluent from the systems.
<br />
