Highlands Ranch Water and Sanitation District has been awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for fiscal year beginning Jan. 1, 2024. The award recognizes Highlands Ranch Water’s commitment to setting the standard of excellence for community-based water and wastewater services through innovative practices in finance, operations and resource management.

GFOA established the Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program in 1984 to encourage and assist state and local governments to prepare budget documents of the very highest quality. To earn recognition, budget documents must meet program criteria and excel as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communication tool.

“Highlands Ranch Water is dedicated to responsible financial management and receiving this award is a direct reflection of that hard work,” said General Manager Sam Calkins. “I am very proud of our finance team for their hard work and dedication to financial transparency. We have a great team at Highlands Ranch Water and this is one more item that reflects our commitment to excellence in service across all facets of our operations.”
