Rez South Arapahoe Sanitation District
I have been requested to determine the position of the City of Englewood
concerning a possible amendment of the Connector's Agreerrsnt now existing
between South Arapahoe Sanitation District and the City of Englewood with
respect to the area known as Vista Verde Subdivision now serviced by a lift
station located on South Pennsylvania Street between Preston and Quinn
Avenue so
The reason for the request is that the Board of Directors of the Dis~.,
trict has under consideration the possibility of eliminating the lift station
and if negotiations are CODJ>leted satisfactorily to themb to the construction
of an outfall line connecting with the facilities of Littleton Sanitation
District Noo 10 and the faoili ties of the City of Littletono This problem
is the result of continued difficulties involved in the operation of the
lift station3 the exorbitant maintenance and power costs, as well as public
demand from the improvement association and individual inhabitants of the
area with regard to the noise» odor am appearance of the station as now
located and operated.a
The Board of Directors of the District are of the opinion that the in=
stallation of an outfall line to connect with facilities of Littleton Sa.n=
i tation District ~)oo 10 would be far less expensive than replacing the existillt
lift station with pumps and equipment of such size as would service the area
and that subsequent costs would be less than continued maintenance and power
costso If this could be accomplished.o then the CODJ>laints from the inhab=
itants would be completely eliminated and the problems confronting the District
would be greatly minimizedo
Thm-e are approximately 321 taps on the line being serviced by the lift
station at the present time~ including residence~ a school and a churcho
The line is now overloaded and some action must be tclcen in the immediate
future to correct this situation., While it is realized that there will
be a certain revenue loss to the City of Englewood it is not to the best
interest of the District to continue the expense and resulting complaints
by the existence of the station, if the same can be removedo Discussions
are being had with Littleton Sanitation District Noa 10 and the City of
Littleton, ~mo appeared receptive to the position of the District at a
minimum costo However» before such negotiations can be finalized it is
necessary to determine the position of the City of Englewood on the
question of disconnecting the taps and eliminating the property mw being
serviced by the suation from the Connector's Agreement with the Cityo
Accordinglysi it would be appreciated if' you could advise whether or not
the City would be receptive to an amendment to the Connector's Agreement~
should an arrangement satisfactory to the District be reached with Littleton
Sanitation District Noo 10 and the City of LittJ.etono Since this is a
matter of an urgent nature, it would be appreciated if I could receive
your advise in this regard by the time of the next meeti~ of the Board
on February 11,p 19630

Very truly yourss

Attorney for South Arapahoe

of sameo
