2. LARGE WATER METER INSTALLATION.
The recommended large meter replacement program will have the larger 1-112" to 6"
meters being replaced over the next three years. Badger meters will be used to maintain
consistency with existing meters and as meters are pulled, they will be tested for accuracy
to determine loss. By having the National Metering Service provide the labor for
replacing these larger meters, installation can be completed in a short amount of time and
begin more accurate readings on the larger water users.
The new meters will have test plugs that will allow periodic accuracy testing and meet
A WW A testing specifications. Denver has instituted this large meter replacement
program and found that the majority of their initial costs were recovered the first year.
Approximately 100 meter a year will be changed out and updated with the radio
frequency read-outs.
For the meter portion, National Meter and Automation is the lowest acceptable bidder in
the amount of $151 ,465 .00. For the installation portion, the lowest acceptable bid was
$35,660 from National Metering Service. It does not include the valves necessary during
the meter exchange. It is estimated that an additional $19,000 to $22,000 will be charged
for meter valve installations, making the final bid approximately $55,000 to $60 ,000 .

3. SOUTH PLATTE PROTECTION PLAN.
The original South Platte Wild and Scenic River Review project involved a collaborative
effort in providing comments to the Forest Service and any other decision making agency
regarding collective concerns regarding the ability to protect the water supply of the
North Fork and maintstream of the South Platte River.
Numerous stakeholders developed an alternative to the Wild and Scenic designation now
known as the South Platte Protection Plan. The goal of the plan is to protect and enhance
the resources of the area at the local level without federal designation, while preserving
the role of the river as a water supply and maintaining sufficient flexibility in river
management while accommodating changes.
The agreement establishing the South Platte Enhancement Fund of the Denver
Foundation creates the foundation as an advised fund with the membership consisting of
Douglas County, Jefferson County, South Metro Water Supply Authority, Parker Water
and Sanitation District, City of Aurora, Colorado Springs Utilities, City of Englewood,
City of Thornton and Denver Water. Englewood's proportionate share as a member of
the Board will be $8,000 a year for three years ..
