Complimentary Metro Water Audits – Are you concerned about your water use? Would you like to be more efficient? Many customers in the Village did not know they could use water more efficiently than they were at the time of the audit. After the District staff lent their expertise and conducted an audit, efficiency was addressed and economical recommendations presented. Homeowners that made the changes greatly increased efficiency.

Water Conservation Rebate Programs
The Castle Pines Metropolitan District (CPMD) has initiated a robust, data driven conservation program to provide residences of the Village at Castle Pines (Village) the confidence in the security and sustainability of our water future (Vision 2025).

An integral part of the Vision 2025 program is to reduce the Village consumption of water for outdoor irrigation in a thoughtful manner while retaining the beauty of the Village and quality of life for its residents. As part of the conservation program CPMD has identified a qualified irrigation management and smart controller experts that is prepared to conduct irrigation system audits for each of the custom homes or sub-associations to clearly identify steps needed to reduce water usage while maintaining current landscaping. Information regarding the irrigation management and smart controller experts is also provided.
To help offset the upfront costs of bringing on the irrigation management and smart controller experts, CPMD is offering rebate programs for Custom Homeowners, and rebate/repayment programs for Sub-Associations .
