Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District’s (BCWSD) customers now have the convenience of paying their water and sewer bills online. BCWSD’s new website, https://www.colorado.gov/bearcreekwater, features PayPort—the secure online payment processing system that allows governments to accept credit cards and eChecks from their constituents.

BCWSD is responsible for bringing public water and sanitary sewer service to the Bear Creek Valley, an area with a population of approximately 32,000 residents. Therefore, another goal for the new website was to save customers time by making it easier for them to find what they need online. Typical searches regarding fees, rules and regulations, Water Quality Reports, financial transparency, the Board of Directors meeting schedule as well as license applications for contractors were reorganized for faster access.

“Previously, Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District’s information was on an archaic web platform that limited how we could present content to our customers,” said Systems Administrator, Chad Weaver. “We turned our website into a very sleek and professional-looking one that provides user-friendly content. Customers are now able to easily navigate the site to pay their bills and find information.”

“Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District joins the growing number of special districts answering citizens’ needs for more online services that they can do at their convenience and on a secure platform,” said Colorado Interactive’s President and General Manager, Mike Ansley. “The ability to access more information and perform more transactions online means expanding districts can efficiently serve customers. It’s a win for everyone.”

BCWSD utilized Colorado Interactive (CI) and the Statewide Internet Portal Authority’s (SIPA) proprietary platform to rapidly develop its new website. CI provides digital government services to state agencies, local governments and educational entities through a contract with SIPA — the official internet portal connecting the public with Colorado government. The partnership’s mission allows government leaders to focus on delivering on-demand, digital government solutions without requests for proposals or the use of tax appropriations.

"Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District has taken advantage of two robust services on Colorado.gov; services which assist the district in providing secure and efficient online operations for their residents," said SIPA’s Executive Director Jack Arrowsmith. "The SIPA/CI partnership delivers customizable payment processing and websites, at no cost to our government partners, that are easy to edit and manage by the district and intuitive to use for visitors."

The SIPA/CI partnership has benefited more than 60 special districts and educational organizations in Colorado. Eligible government entities in need of free website development and hosting as well as payment processing through the Colorado.gov Web portal should contact SIPA.
