Crw -2 - December 17, 1990 INITIATED BY STAFF SOURCE ISSUE/ACTION PROPOSED COUNCIL CONICIINICATION AGENDA ITEM SUBJECT 11 (b) Water and Sewer Boa rd Stewart Fonda, Dir11ctor of Utilit i es 1990 water Right • ~ppropr iac S ')n ■ Co uncil approval of applic ation s for 1990 water rights appropridtions for the HcBroom Ditch Exchange, the Well Water Exchange , municipal appropr iations !or direct fl o w and 1t.nrage at Upion Avenue and c r•n ditional and r efill storage rights at McLellan Rewervoir . PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION None, STAFP' ANALYSIS It appears that several addi tional water r : .r·t11 and e xchanges wo uld enhance Englewood's raw water s upply , e ven wit h a 1:,90 appropriation date. The a dditiona l right• include direct flow rights at the Un ion Avenue Intake, storage r ights at the Centennial Park gravel pits and add i t ional storage rights in HcLellan Reservoi r . The exchange s include the McB r..::iom Dit ':'h Exchange, which would allow water available at the HcBroom Ditch heodgate to be taken at other points along t he south Platte Riv e :-, and t he Well Water Exchange, which wi ll permit water t o b e t aken out of the South Platte River if well water is put into the r iver system at a downstream point . BACKGROUND A 1990 appropriation date for a direct flow right ,s a junior right i n t he Colorado wa ter system. However, there are periods of the year when thia right wo u ld be i n priority and water could be taken , An exchange such as the one ■ listed c an be u aed to tran ■po rt wa t er that is a v ailable at dow ,1tream locations to upstream locatio na without constructing pump stations and pipelines, providing certain river conditions are met . The storage rights at the Union Avenu !! (C e ntennhl Park) gravel pit a would g i.ve Englewood the ability to use the gravel pit ■ to store water available i n we t periods of the year u ntil it was needed i n drier periods . The additional stor .1Jge right s at HcLellan Reservoir wou ld not provide additional physical capacity at t he re ■ervoir, but would allow additional amounts of water to be called for and stored by the reservoir each year. ~ Tho filin9 foH for thHo application ■ will bo approximately $150 ,00.
