Mayor Schwab stated that at an earlier informal meeting between the Englewood Water Board and the City Council, the Englewood Water Board had recommended that a contract with the Denver Water Board be executed whereby Englewood would obtain all rights to the City Ditch from its headgate in Douglas County to the interception of the City Ditch at Harvard Gulch near Yale and Downing. Englewood would agree to deliver up to November 1, 1973, 12 cubic feet of water per second at the Harvard Gulch blowoff. Englewood and the Denver Water Board would 1ointly attempt to obtain all other water rights on the City Ditch. However, Englewood would be allowed to retain water rights equal to no more than 2.5 cubic feet per second. (Councilman Parkinson entered the Council Chambers at 7:40 P.M. and took his seat with Council.) City Manager Dial stated that over a ten year period it was estimated that approximately $30,000 net savings would be obtained by usinq the City Ditch to provide water to the Allen Filter Plant rather than pumping up from the Platte River at the Union Avenue station. Mayor Schwab stated that the take over of the City Ditch by the City of Englewood had been tied into the negotiations between the Denver Water Board and Englewood for the West Slope Water Developnent Project. Discussion ensued.
