About Us - Water District |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The BMR Metropolitan District (Water District) is a
Colorado Special District. The Water District operates and maintains the
water system that produces potable water for the community. The system
includes ground water supply, treatment, distribution and storage
facilities. The system was engineered, built, operated and managed by the
original Bell Mountain Ranch developer. Revenue
for the enterprise fund is generated from monthly water service and usage
fees, not from tax dollars. The governing body of the Water District is
it's volunteer Board of Directors (Bell Mountain owners) who are elected
by the taxpayers of Bell Mountain.
Wells: The District owns and operates two deep ground water wells, one in
the Denver aquifer and one in the Arapahoe aquifer.
Treatment Plant: The water treatment plant is designed to remove
impurities from the source ground water and has the capacity to treat 504
gallons per minute continuously. It utilizes ion exchange technology which
also softens the water. The output of the treatment process flows to a
30,000 gallon clear well tank co-located with the treatment facility.
Distribution System: There are approximately 12 miles of 8-inch and 3
miles of 12-inch diameter water mains in the system. The distribution
system is gravity fed and is divided into 3 pressure zones through the use
of 7 pressure reducing valves that are installed in buried vaults
throughout the system. The system feeds all fire hydrants on the ranch and
can support fire code requirements of 1,500 gallons per minute for 2
hours.
Storage: There are two steel potable water storage tanks (210,000 and
90,000 gallons) providing total storage capacity of 300,000 gallons.
Backup Power Generators: Power at the treatment plant and well sites are
backed up by diesel generators. |

2019-09-30 Clearwell Tank
Coating -
During the
coming week you can expect the water quality of our tap water to be
adversely effected. The water hardness, iron content and manganese will
increase as the week goes by as the softened water in our storage tanks on
Bell Mountain is diluted with un-softened water. Chlorination will not be
effected. The extent to which the stored soft water will be diluted will
depend upon how many homeowners actually turn off their irrigation
systems. Theoretically, if all irrigation systems were turned off for the
week, we would have enough soft water stored to last the entire week;
however, this is unlikely. Hence, we can expect complaints about "cloudy"
water due to excessive iron and manganese falling out of solution,
especially in the hot water. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The schedule for the Clearwell Tank coating is as
follows: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Monday September 1, 2019 - Storage
tanks on Bell Mountain will be filled to max capacity, then the Clearwell
Tank
at the water plant will be drained by ORC (Bob Clodfelder). Bob will be
on-site every day to make sure all is well and observe work performance.
Great Western Painting will also be on-site mobilizing their needed
equipment. |
|
| |
|
|
| |

temporary as water flows through the system. There could be low pressure

We are planning to flush the system on Wednesday,
October 19
and Thursday, October 20. If you receive a call for low
pressure or dirty water, it will be attributed to the flushing more than
likely. If a customer experiences this condition for more than 30 minutes,
go ahead and pass their information along and we will follow up with the
customer when the system returns to normal conditions. |
