The South Adams County Water and Sanitation District has 65 square miles of service area.
The Development Department is responsible for reviewing, coordinating, and overseeing the
construction of water and wastewater utilities throughout the District, as well as maintaining
 the District’s mapping systems and performing utility locates on facilities owned and operated
by the District. The District is divided into two main areas. These areas are identified as either
the General Service Area (GSA) or the General Improvement District (GID). Click here to see
