HOA/Metro District Stormwater Pond Resources

Private stormwater ponds

Your Homeowner's Association or Metro District may have recently received a letter from the city regarding the requirements for the stormwater pond located on the property.

When the property was built, an approved Inspection and Maintenance Plan (I&M) was submitted. It is the responsibility of the HOA or Metro District to ensure the stormwater pond operates properly. One purpose of the I&M is to provide information to the person or entity responsible for inspection and maintenance of the stormwater pond to ensure it is adequately maintained to function as designed. 

The approved I&M requires the following:  

  • Inspect the stormwater pond pursuant to the approved I&M plan.
  • Document the inspection and maintenance.
  • Submit an annual inspection report to Aurora Water no later than March 31, 2023. Subsequent annual reports are due on March 31. 

Inspection reports may be emailed to envservices@auroragov.org or mailed to
