The Stormwater Utility Service Area encompasses properties within unincorporated Adams County. This area is bordered on the north, south and west by the County boundary. The eastern boundary of the service is bordered by Schumaker Road (near Denver International Airport). This area excludes any properties within the city limits of the following municipalities: Aurora, Northglenn, Thornton, Commerce City, Brighton, Westminster, Federal Heights, Arvada, Bennett, Lochbuie. The Stormwater Utility currently provides public drainage services for about 27,000 properties and extends about 257 square miles (164,480 acres).This service area is subject to change as cities annex unincorporated areas within the SWU and County development increases, which would increase impervious area east of Schumaker Road. Within the service area, the County is responsible for maintaining approximately 1,285 inlet boxes, 51.83 miles of storm sewer pipeline and 15 ponds.
