What Does The CMCMD Do?

The Copper Mountain Consolidated Metropolitan District is the entity at Copper Mountain that provides Water, Sewer, Fire and Television as its core services. The District operates under the direction of a 5 person, elected board of directors. To serve on the board one must be a qualified elector. A qualified elector is a person who is registered to vote in Colorado and is a property owner, or spouse of a property owner, within the district, OR is a resident of the district and is registered to vote. The board sets policy decisions, which are carried out by the paid staff. A district manager oversees approximately 15 full time employees. The current year budget is approximately $8 Million.

Expanding Facilities to Provide Better Service

Expansion of the wastewater facility/sewer plant started last year and the $7.5 Million project will provide capacity for the future build-out of the resort. Water from three current wells in the valley floor is pumped up to the storage tank adjacent to Kokomo Lift just north of the road accessing the Lewis Ranch Development.

Approximately a year ago the District expanded its cable TV system by adding the Avaliability of high-speed Internet service. A unique feature of copper’s District is the operation of the television system. The taxpayers of the District, in effect, own the cable system.
