Woodmen Hills Metro District

What Woodmen Hills Metro District does

Woodmen Hills Metro District (WHMD) is a quasi-governmental special district operating under Colorado law since 1987, headquartered in Falcon, Colorado within El Paso County. It provides three core service lines to residents and select commercial customers within its defined boundaries: potable water distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, and parks and recreation services. The water and wastewater utility operations are anchored by the Regional Water Reclamation Facility, completed on March 29, 2019 at the northeast corner of Meridian Ranch Boulevard and Stapleton Road, which replaced a non-compliant 1987 lagoon system following a 2009 compliance notice from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the U.S. EPA.

The district operates two recreation centers — Recreation Center East in Peyton and Community Center West in Falcon — supported by over 180 acres of maintained open space, 9 miles of trails, 4 playgrounds, an 18-hole disc golf course, and a regional BMX park described as the only such facility in the immediate vicinity. Recreation offerings include aquatics (group, private, semi-private swim lessons; aqua aerobics; adult swim team), group fitness classes, personal training, youth and adult sports leagues, summer camps, facility and park rentals, and community events. The technology stack relies on off-the-shelf municipal SaaS: Streamline for the website/CMS, Active Networks (ActiveNet) for program registration, Zoho Forms for data intake, Statusfy for facility notifications, Google Analytics, hCaptcha, and Aira for accessibility compliance.

WHMD is governed by an elected five-member Board of Directors serving staggered four-year terms. The business model blends tax-exempt government financing (debt refinanced from 8% to 2.75% in March 2016), utility rate revenue (2026 Rate Schedule published), and resident vs. non-resident fee differentiation for recreation access — residents receive free access to most facilities while non-residents pay daily drop-in rates, punch cards, monthly passes, and per-program fees. Commercial customers outside the district receive water services only, providing modest geographic diversification of utility revenue.
