Update: Boil Order Lifted

    On August 17, 2010, a water sample taken from MMWC's office cistern tested positive for E. coli and coliform bacteria.  The media was notified and a boil order issued to MMWC's entire service area.  New samples collected over the next two days from multiple locations established that the contamination was limited to this one cistern, which has been disinfected.  On August 19, 2010, the boil order was lifted.  For more information, click here.

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.
