Notice posted by Mitchell T. Terry, Designated Election Official, March 1, 2023
- Adams County Fire & Rescue requires all new multi-family buildings/homes be protected with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 13D fire suppression systems.
- Both Crestview Water and Denver Water approved the submitted plans prior to construction for the Berkley Shores development which included two approved 13D options. The Crestview Water/Denver Water approved 13D options do not require backflow protection devices.
- The developer contracted with AAA Fire Protection to design the 13D fire suppression system for your home.
- The design from AAA Fire Protection met NFPA 13D standards however, their design did not meet the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) or Crestview Water/Denver Water standards.
- The CDPHE does not require backflow devices if the 13D system follows Denver Water design standards however, if the standard is not followed, a double check valve backflow prevention device must be installed at the tie-in for the 13D fire suppression system.
- It is in your best interests to allow the developer’s plumber to install the double check valve backflow prevention assembly in your home. If the home doesn’t have the required double check valve assembly, it won’t meet CDPHE backflow protection requirements and the water service will be required to be terminated until one is installed and tested.
- Please note that once the device is installed, it must be tested and have the test results provided to Denver Water at crossconnectioncontrol@denverwater.org
- Your double check valve assembly must be tested every year thereafter with the results being provided to Denver Water.

Sewer systems around the world have a new enemy, FLUSHABLE WIPES!
Flushable wipes are personal wet wipes, moistened towelettes, baby wipes and disinfecting wipes. The “flushable” or wet wipes can be easily flushed down the toilet, but they won’t dissolve. Some manufacturers insist that wet wipes can be flushed away by your toilet but that doesn’t mean they won’t cause a problem underground. The wipes can float along in the sewer main coming in contact with grease and fats from cooking, ultimately creating a mass of grease and wipes that can build up to a point that they could potentially clog the sewer main. Once the sewer main becomes clogged, the sewer will back up causing the sewage to enter into homes and businesses. Please don’t flush wipes down the toilet and as always, please don’t pour cooking grease or oil into the drain. Go with the flow!

To our valued customers who may be concerned regarding the new developments occurring in Crestview. Please be assured all of the infrastructure (water and sewer mains, water and sewer services) are being installed at the developer’s expense and will be deeded over to Crestview Water and Sanitation District free of charge after the final acceptance.
Crestview Water and Sanitation District operations will not be effected by the new development and the District will continue to serve our customers at the highest standard of excellence and at the best rates available.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact our office at 303-429-1881.
