Fees: Starting with the February 2012 billing cycle, fees for metered users
are at $25.00/month plus 1.5¢/gallon. Fees for users who have not yet
complied with MMWC’s metering requirement -- for whom MMWC reserves
the right to shut off for non-compliance -- are currently set at $100/month.
Landlords and Tenants: Starting with the March 2012 billing,
MMWC will send bills directly to the property owner/MMWC member, who is
solely responsible for ensuring timely payment of all fees. This billing
procedure is consistent with MMWC’s By-Laws, under which the
member/property owner is responsible for all fees. See also Colorado

on line by summer 2012.
Mountain Mutual Water Company -- Introduction
Mountain Mutual Water Company (MMWC) operates the central water
system for Cripple Creek Mountain Estates (CCME). MMWC draws its water
from wells located in the "Gillette Flats" area of Teller County. MMWC is
regulated by federal and state laws and tests its water accordingly.
MMWC was incorporated in 1973. It is a non-profit, member-owned
mutual "ditch and reservoir corporation," a type of special-purpose
corporation under Colorado law. Visit the "History" page for more
information.
Our Mission
MMWC exists to supply water to its members and to own, operate,
maintain, and improve the water pipes and water distribution facilities that
serve CCME.
MMWC generally declines to serve tap applicants outside of CCME and
lots and/or mining claims through which MMWC's transmission line
easements are located. For an explanation why, please see the Membership
page.
MMWC is independent of the Cripple Creek Mountain Estates Property
Owners Association (CCMEPOA), which exists to maintain, preserve, and
architecturally control the residence lots and common areas within CCME. To
understand why MMWC and CCMEPOA are maintained as separate entities,
please see the FAQ page.
