T & WOOD'S REQUEST FOR CONSENT TO WORK FOR
..AEN SOUTHWEST.
.... om Wood presented a "Request for Consent to Work for Black Hawk and Milliken
~outhwest" to the Board. In this case David Hill believes that working for Black Hawk
and Milliken Southwest would be in Englewood's interest with costs being split among
the common work done for clients. Each would be billed separately for work unique to
that client's interests. Black Hawk and Milliken are seeking to ensure that Central' s
decree will keep the river whole and will not result in increased calls on their rights . The
Board approved the "Request for Consent to Work for Black Hawk and Milliken
Southwest.
Mr. Burns moved;
2 . DAVID HILL-WATER RELATED CASES.
David Hill appeared to discuss three Englewood-related cases he is monitoring. The first
may require farmers to use wells t o supplement water not being replaced in the river. The
second involves Bebe Draw east of Greeley and could affect Englewood's senior rights
on the S. Platte River. The last case is with the City of Thornton and the Metro Sewer
District and involves Thornton's sewer discharge and Englewood's stand on replacing the
return flows.
David Hill will keep the Englewood Water Board apprised of new developments .
3 . MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2004.
The Board received a list of major accomplishments from the Utilities Department for
2004 . Accomplishments for the Administration, Water Production, Water Distribution,
Wastewater Collection and Stormwater divisions were listed .
4. LORRAINE SMITH -1080 W. RADCLIFF A VE.
The Board received a memo from John Bock, Utilities Manager, describing an encounter
with Lorraine Smith of 1080 W . Radcliff Ave. Ms. Smith's inappropriate behavior was

5. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
Price of Woodinville Treatment Plant Rises 10%:
An article appeared in the November 4, 2004 Seattle Times discussing the escalating cost
of building materials pushing the price of the King County Brightwater wastewater
treatment plant to $1.48 billion.
Bottled Mineral Water May Not Be Safer to Drink:
An article appeared from the 44th Annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial
Agents. Researchers noted that patients with weakened immune systems are often given
bottled mineral water under the assumption that it is safer to drink than tap water.
Research has shown that infection is still possible from legionella bacteria which can be
found in bottled mineral water.
2004 Front Range Demand vs. Normal Use:
The Board received a graph from Denver Water showing Englewood's customers
conserving more water than the other Front Range municipalities in 2004.
