North Weld County Water District provides drinking water to homes, businesses, agricultural and livestock operations. The District was created in 1962 and began selling and installing taps around 1965 once infrastructure was in place. There was no public water supply at the time for local homeowners and businesses that relied upon irrigation water or wells to serve their needs. From the inconsistent water that these sources provide, these folks determined that a long term, reliable supply was a necessity. The District is governed by a directly elected, five member Board of Directors. Any registered voter who reside in or owns taxable property in the District can vote in District elections and serve on the Board. Board members serve staggered four year terms and meet twice a month.
