Stormwater Master Plan Survey
When it rains... where does it flood?!
The Town of Wellington is currently conducting a Stormwater Master Plan to identify and prioritize needed stormwater improvements.

The Board of Trustees requested community feedback to include as many voices as possible. If you have experienced structure flooding caused by a weather event or water pooling in the street above curb height, share your experience with the button below.
Boards and Commissions are groups of volunteers that review projects, gather information, and make recommendations based on their findings. 

Boards and Commissions are a great way to get involved in your community. They provide a venue for the healthy and harmonious discussion of issues from a variety of perspectives. The Board of Trustees are committed to appointing members that reflect Wellington's diverse character. Click here to download the 2022 Board and Commission meeting calendar.

Outdoor potable watering restrictions are in place for summer 2022. Ensuring the water treatment plant's capacity to produce indoor drinking water (potable) remains the top priority, especially as we enter peak demand season.

  • Outdoor watering is only permitted between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m.
  • Odd street numbers watering permitted on Tues. and Sat.
  • Even street numbers watering permitted on Wed. and Sun.
  • Irrigation runoff shall be kept to a minimum.
  • Overspray onto non-vegetated areas is strictly prohibited.
  • Washing outside paved or concrete areas is prohibited.

Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) 38-33.3-302(1)(k)(II) made law by HB13-183 generally prohibits an HOA from levying a fine on a homeowner for inadequate landscape watering when restrictions are in place, if the homeowner is watering according to the watering restrictions.

Residents with non-potable irrigation systems (water not treated for drinking/consumption) are encouraged to limit water use but are not mandated by these restrictions.
Water Quality Report
The Town of Wellington is pleased to present the 2021 Water Quality Report as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Colorado to inform customers about the quality of their drinking water. The Annual Drinking Water Quality Report includes details about the origin of the Town water supply, what it contains, and how it compares to state standards. Based on water quality monitoring data collected in 2021, the Town of Wellington's water met or surpassed all state and federal drinking water health standards, which are the primary standards for treating and monitoring water. All state compliance testing was completed by a State of Colorado certified laboratory.

In 2021 water for the Town of Wellington customers were produced from two water sources using four unique treatment systems. The water sources include the primary source for the Water Treatment Plant, North Poudre Irrigation Reservoir #3, as well as a groundwater well system. The North Poudre Irrigation Reservoir #3 is located Northwest of the Town, and it includes the conventional treatment, as well as the Micro-Filtration Unit. The Town-owned wells which provide the water for the Nano-Filtration Unit and the reverse osmosis unit are located on the Coal Creek alluvial aquifer. Once the well water is treated through those units, it is blended into the overall distribution system.

The Town of Wellington remains committed to producing safe drinking water by fully satisfying all health, safety, and reporting standards for 2021. To view the full report, use the button below.
