About Us

Castle Rock Water is municipally-owned and provides three distinct water services - drinking water, wastewater and stormwater. Though a part of the Town of Castle Rock, the water provider is funded solely through rates and fees. Having one water provider for all water service provides consistency and reliability for service with an integrated approach for efficiencies.

Drinking Water

Our drinking water service consists of several treatment plants including our flagship, Plum Creek Water Purification Facility which was expanded to include Advanced Treatment in 2020 and ensures safe and reliable water to Town residents and businesses.

Water service includes acquiring the sources of water and ensuring supply for our customers now and in the future. As part of this service, we also protect public health by providing safe drinking water and sufficient supplies for fire safety.

Wastewater

Wastewater is the proper conveyance and treatment of the used water from homes and businesses. Castle Rock Water manages the sewer lines and systems for wastewater in the Town and is a directorial partner in the regional wastewater treatment facility.

Stormwater

Castle Rock Water also manages stormwater which is the rainfall, snow melt and runoff that flows through our community. Stormwater management minimizes flooding and maintains water quality as is flows through the community.
