3. WATERMAINREPLACEMENT -4100 AND 4200 BLOCKS OF S .
WASHINGTON ST.
Stu reviewed a recent pipe replacement project. Due to deterioration of the pipe and
numerous main breaks , two blocks of 4 " water mains at the 4100 and 4200 blocks of S.
Washington Street were in need of replacement. Beginning in August, 2008 the
distribution crew began replacing 1,329 feet of 6" unlined cast iron water main with new
8" PVC pipe.
Total cost for the project was $214,404.49. Of the total cost, parts and aggregate were
$30,340.68 and street cut footage was $34,888. The remaining cost was for the time and
equipment of the distribution crew. These blocks were chosen for replacement because
of numerous main breaks and to improve water quality in this area.
4. WATER LEVELS AT McLELLAN RESERVOIR.
Mayor Woodward received an inquiry regarding the current low water levels at McLellan
Reservoir. Stu explained that McLellan Reservoir is a raw water reservoir that will hold
6,000 acre feet of water. Out of the 6,000 acre feet, Highland Ranch has storage for 4,000
acre feet. The level of the reservoir goes down when demand dictates from Highlands
Ranch , and is refilled when they have water available. Englewood tries to consistently
maintain its 2,000 acre feet. It was noted that similar inquiries were received from the
residential development at the peninsula at McLellan Reservoir.
