Stonegate Village Metropolitan District

What Stonegate Village Metropolitan District does

Stonegate Village Metropolitan District (SVMD) is a Title 32 Colorado metropolitan district and political subdivision of the State of Colorado, located in unincorporated Douglas County, Parker, CO. It provides essential municipal services — water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater management, parks and recreation, open space maintenance, and drainage-way upkeep — to residents and property owners within its exclusive service boundaries. The district operates 15 wells drawing from Denver Basin aquifers, owns a water treatment facility and a wastewater treatment plant (located at the northwest corner of E470 and Jordan Road), holds an MS4 stormwater permit, and maintains approximately 100 acres of irrigated open space. Recreational assets include the Stonegate South Pool aquatic complex, tennis and pickleball courts, a community center, gazebo and park areas, and a reciprocal access arrangement with neighboring Stonegate North Villages Metropolitan District.

SVMD's business model is funded through a combination of recurring property tax mill levies (27.803 mills in 2015, split between general fund and debt service), monthly water and wastewater utility charges (base fees plus tiered usage fees and a capital improvement fee), monthly parks and recreation fees ($72.78 for SVMD residents, $45.00 for SNVMD residents), specific ownership taxes from vehicle registrations, sustainability fees dedicated to renewable water acquisition, and one-time bond proceeds for capital projects. The district carries an A- credit rating from Standard & Poor's, evidenced by a $13.4 million revenue bond issuance in 2014 at 4.14% over 30 years to fund the WWTP upgrade. Governance is provided by an elected five-member board, with operations executed by a small administrative staff and contracted service providers (Keesen Landscape Management, Front Range Recreation). Technology integrations are limited to utility billing (Point & Pay), pool registration (swimmingpoolpasses.net), accessibility (Aira), and web analytics (Google Analytics) — there is no proprietary software, AI/ML capability, or public API offering.
