Chatfield Corners
Welcome
The Chatfield Corners Owners Association is still active and all governing documents are still in full effect.
To save owners money, the Board of Directors entered into an agreement between the Owners Association and Metropolitan District granting the District power to administer the duties (DRB, covenant enforcement, etc.) usually done by the HOA. The Owners Association budget for 2020 is $0, and there are no dues for 2020.
That does not mean that the Owners Association will not, at some point in the future, have a budget and need to charge dues again, although the Board is working very hard to make sure that does not happen. Please be sure to keep your contact information up to date with the Association in the event we need to get in touch with you.
For more information on the Agreement, see the Governing Documents section below, speak with one of your Board Members, or contact Beth at [email protected] or 970-926-6060

WATER & WASTE WATER
Chatfield Corners uses ditch water to irrigate. Cleaning your irrigation intake screen on a regular basis will optimize your water pressure. You may never have cleaned your screen before but because of the warm temperatures and low water, there were a number of issues last season which was all related to dirty or plugged up screens. We recommend cleaning the screen no less than weekly during the irrigation season. Please see the attached instructions

Xeriscaping
Xeriscaping is a type of landscaping that focuses on water conservation. With the extended droughts affecting the West, xeriscaping is one way can residents to do their part to help conserve water. Xeriscaping is not “zero-scaping” with rocks and other non-porous surfaces replacing turf or other high-water use plants. If planned properly xeriscaping can result in beautiful landscaping that makes the most efficient use of the water that is available. Chatfield Corners has utilized xeriscaping with the refurbishment of the planting bed along the recreation path off of Autumn Glen St. Consider these sources for more information and ideas on xeriscaping:
