ABOUT SMWSA

South Metro Water Supply Authority (SMWSA) is the region’s leader in the development of innovative water supply and infrastructure projects. Formed in August 2004, SMWSA is an experienced and knowledgeable entity that plans, develops and sources renewable water for Douglas and Arapahoe Counties in Colorado. The organization is comprised of 13 individual water providers that work collaboratively to foster long-term reliable water supplies through water acquisition and infrastructure development.

SMWSA stemmed from the Douglas County Water Resource Authority (DCWRA), which started in 1992, and the South Metro Water Supply Study Board, formed in January 2000, when other larger water providers requested to work with one regional entity. By taking a unified approach to regional water rights and allocation, SMWSA better serves constituents through its increased negotiating power and support on structural and non-structural projects.

Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority
