Stonegate Village Metropolitan District continually works on projects to improve the quality of the community.  Some of our recent or current projects are listed below:

Playgrounds:  The District Board has replaced 3 sets of playground equipment this summer at Stone Willow, Stonegate North and Flowergate Parks.

Entry at Stonegate Parkway and Lincoln Avenue:  Our front entryway is finally complete!  The District has received many compliments about the face lift the main entrance has received.  You may be wondering what the areas that are still looking like dirt have in them.... these areas have been planted with native seed that will give the District a beautiful, yet drought tolerant, backdrop for the entryway.  This seed requires patience, however.  During the first summer, we will see the grasses start to come in, but they won't reach their full maturity or thickness for a couple of years.  Remember... we are saving water by using these grasses.  The wait will be worth it and yield nice results - at full growth, the native grasses will look very similar to those at the Wildlife Experience.

Wells:  Since Stonegate gets all of its water from the acquifer, new wells are occasionally drilled to keep up with production demands (as water levels drop in the acquifer, it flows at a slower pace out of the wells).  The KA-20 well was drilled in June of 2006, and is the most recent addition to the District's assets.  It is located north of Stonegate and will help provide consistent service levels to the residents.  Stonegate primarily extracts water from the Arapahoe Acquifer.  The District continues to work on long range water issues to find renewable resources for the community.  See the page on watering restrictions to learn more about conservation.

Regional Water Issues:  The Stonegate Village Metropolitan District is currently participating in a regional effort to provide renewable water.  The District purchased of capacity in the Reuter Hess Reservoir for long term renewable water.  Please note that the "sustainability fee" on your water and sewer bill generates funds specific for the purpose of long term renewable water.  The Reuter Hess Reservoir ground breaking ceremony was held on September 5, 2008.

Trees:  See this link for more information about trees and how recycled water affects them:  http://www.denverwater.org/recycle/recycled_water_for_trees.html

A Tree Replacement Program sets aside District money every summer to replace dead or dying trees to improve the common areas.  The District does not  replace trees in the open space with natural vegetation.
