Overview
The Grandview Estates Rural Water Conservation District (GERWCD) was formed after a ballot vote in November of 2007 to serve as a local government to facilitate water resource management, development, and conservation in Grandview Estates and throughout Douglas County through active participation in the Rural Water Authority of Douglas County (RWADC). Programs include researching and monitoring water supply, protecting individual exempt well supply and quality from outside influences. RWADC participation provides links between local, county, state and federal resource partners. Each property owner pays a small 1.5 mill levy tax annually to the District based on their assessed property value.
Historically, these funds have been utilized to fund the USGS well level and quality monitoring programs, water quality testing, adjudication of water rights, defense of water rights, annual financial reviews, and keeping residents aware of a variety of potential water issues surrounding Grandview Estates due to the recent development within Douglas County (including Chambers Reservoir).
