1971 - St. Vrain and Left Hand Water Conservancy District Founded

The St. Vrain and Left Hand Water Conservancy District was formed on April 19, 1971, as one of 49 water conservancy districts created under the Water Conservancy Act (Colorado Revised Statutes of 1973, Section 37.45-102 to 152). As a conservancy district, we can engage in a wide range of water issues, including development and management of water projects, water conservation, distribution, water quality protection, flood control, legislation, and education.
