Sedalia Water and Sanitation District

After several years of working with the USDA to obtain funding for Sedalia’s infrastructure project, the District received confirmation in June 2024 of the USDA’s decision to award funds for the project. District voters approved debt service for the project in a TABOR election in November 2022. At the time of voter approval, the USDA award being sought was anticipated to have a grant component of $3,500,000.00 and a loan component of $2,200,000.00. Upon approval in June, the final award was grant of $5,045,000.00 and loan of $561,000.00. This is great news for District residents and property owners, as the amount of the loan will result in much lower mill levy than anticipated when the funding comes in and the project proceeds.

About the District

Sedalia Water and Sanitation District is a quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of state of Colorado. It is a Special District organized under and subject to Title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes and the primary service it provides is water service to the District’s customers. Despite its name, the District does not provide sanitary sewer services.

The District was formed in 1958 and took over ownership of the existing water system infrastructure that was previously owned by and originally installed by the railroad. The District has approximately 94 customers.

The District has a general operating mill levy of 13.085 mills that it levies on real property within the District boundaries, and such mill levy generates property tax revenue to assist with funding District operations. Funding for operations comes from property tax revenue, customer water fees, and often grant funds that are obtained by the District. Currently in 2022, the District does not have a debt service mill levy as the District has no existing debt.
