Colorado Water and Sanitation District Boundaries

Colorado water and sanitation district boundaries aggregated by the state's Department of Local Affairs Demography office. Many boundaries originate from scanned drawings or digitized PDFs, with no guarantee of positional accuracy. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map service areas for water districts using the `geometry` column to visualize spatial coverage.
• Analyze district naming conventions and status changes by comparing the `name`, `prevName`, and `lgStatus` fields.
• Identify district contact information for administrative purposes using `mailAddress`, `mailCity`, and `mailZip` columns.
• Join this dataset with demographic data using the `lgid` as a key to assess service provision relative to population.

Strengths

• Contains a `geometry` column for direct geospatial analysis and mapping.
• Provides multiple administrative detail columns like `name`, `lgStatus`, and mailing address fields.

Limitations

• Boundary accuracy is not guaranteed as many were created from scanned drawings or digitized PDFs.
• Unknown row count and dataset size prevent assessment of completeness.
