Development
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
a map of the District
The General Service Area is mainly the original core section of the District. The GSA
Boundaries are E. 112th Ave. to the North, Sand Creek to the South, Hwy 2 South to
Quebec Street to the East, and the South Platte River to the West. Click here to see more
GSA information.
The General Improvement District Area would be mainly the Northern properties outside the
GSA. Please see the map and development flow charts for these areas. Click here to see
more GID information.
Information regarding property classification within the District may be obtained by contacting
the Development Review Group at 720-206-0590.
