Welcome to the
website of the Donala Water and Sanitation District. The
District is located just east of the U.S. Air Force Academy, and
just north of the City of Colorado Springs. We were formed
in 1972 to serve the development that was later named Gleneagle
and the Gleneagle Golf Course. Today we serve Gleneagle
and the surrounding areas, as well as The Ridge at Fox Run, the
Struthers Ranch and the Brown Ranch.
Donala is a
"quasi-municipality," a special district under Colorado statutes
that is governed by a Board of Directors elected from within the
District and run by a manager and staff. As a
not-for-profit governmental entity, the District is dedicated to
bringing the best and most economical water and wastewater
service possible to the constituents, while adhering to the laws
of Colorado and the regulations of the State Health Department
and the EPA.
Our water
source is the Denver Basin of deep aquifers. We treat it
for iron and manganese and distribute it from two water
treatment plants through a series of booster pumps and water
storage tanks. Since the Denver Basin is a dwindling
resource, the District is very active in seeking a renewable
source to augment and eventually replace it. We are
confident that well before we need a follow on supply, we will
have it.
Donala also
serves the wastewater needs of our customers. We are
co-owners and operators of a wastewater treatment plant located
just north of the Air Force Academy on the west side of I-25.
The plant is a modern, state-of-the art facility that is
strictly controlled to keep the waters of Colorado as pristine
as possible. In addition, to do our part for conservation,
we treat the wastewater to "swim beach" standards and use it for
irrigation on the Gleneagle Golf Course and areas within
Triview.
Please
come visit us. We'd be glad to show you around and answer
any questions you may have.
