History

Valley Sanitation District is located in Arapahoe and Denver Counties in the State of Colorado. The District, a political subdivision of the State of Colorado, is a Special District organized and created pursuant to the laws of the State of Colorado by decree of the District Court in Arapahoe County on August 10, 1955. It is a quasi-municipal corporation with the right to levy property taxes. The boundaries of the District encompass approximately 1.3 square miles located within the cities of Littleton, Englewood, Denver and Sheridan. 

Organization

Valley Sanitation District was organized as a quasi-municipal government by Decree of the District Court in Arapahoe County in 1955. The District operates in accordance with Colorado laws pertaining to the formation, administration, and governance of special districts. As such, the District is governed by a five member Board of Directors, who are taxpayers and/or residents of the District. They are elected by the property owners and residents of the District to serve four year terms. The Directors are responsible for establishing policies of the District and are responsible for operation of the District’s sanitary sewer facilities. 

In 2007, in response to the need for full time operation of the District’s infrastructure, the Board considered a proposal from the Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District to perform maintenance services for Valley. Understanding the need to have a continuous and routine maintenance program, the Valley Board chose to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Platte Canyon on June 22, 2007. Since that time, Platte Canyon has provided sanitary sewer operations and maintenance services and some select administrative services. Valley is at its full development. As the District’s infrastructure ages, greater emphasis has been placed on managing and maintaining existing facilities in prime working order. In addition, as these facilities age, Valley has been confronted with the need to rehabilitate and replace older infrastructure to ensure the adequacy and reliability of water and wastewater services to all of its customers. 

Up until December 31, 2014 replacement and rehabilitation projects were funded only by the District’s property tax mill levy.  As of January 1, 2015, all replacement and rehabilitation projects are funded by a combination of the District’s property tax mill levy and a monthly service charge (which was implemented January 1, 2015). 

Sewer Service

Valley contracts with the Littleton-Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant for wastewater treatment services. 

The City of Englewood bills Valley customers directly for the treatment services they provide.
