Dear Mr. Salcito:
CERTIFIED MAIL
Your residence is provided water servi ce from Denver Water Conduit # 13 , which will be taken
out of service for four months beginning August 1 for repairs and maintenance. Denver Water
has no other water facilities in the area that can provide your residence with water service.
Therefore , Denver Water will request the City of Englewood to provide water service to your

and has th e water facilities available in front of your property to provide service. It is anticipated
that Englewood will assist Denver Water with this service request and that the transfer in your
water service, which will be at Denver Water's expense, will occur in mid-July.
This transfer in service from Denver Water's low pressure conduit to Englewood's water
facilities should result in higher water pressures at your residence and , depending on your water
usage , a less expensive water bill for your residence.
It is requested that you sign this letter in the space below acknowledging this water serYice

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
Transfers of Water Service
This Intergovernmental Agreement is entered into this _ day of_, 2001, between
the City and County of Denver , acting by and through its Board of Water
Commissioners ("Board"), a municipal corporation of the State of Colorado, and the City
qf Englewood ("Englewood"), a municipal corporation of the State of Colorado.
WHER~AS. the Bo~rd operates a municipal water supply system that provides
water to customers in the Board's Combined Serv ice Area; and
WHEREAS, Englewood operates a mun icipal water supply system that provides
water for its residents and others, as determined by Englewood's City Council; and
WHEREAS, a portion of Englewood's service area Hes within the Board's
Combined Service Area , so that the two service areas share common boundary lines;
and
WHEREAS , in certain areas near those common boundary lines , customers
located within Englewood's or the Board 's serv ice area, respectively, could be served
more efficiently by facilities owned by the other entity ; and
WHEREAS , the transfer of water service for certain customers from one entity to
the other would eliminate the need for expensive and duplicative distribution facilities
and would also provide better service to those customers; and
WHEREAS , cocpen~tion among local governments to provide services is
encouraged by Article XJV , Section 18(2)( a) of the Colorado Constitution; and
WHEREAS, Englewood and the Board wish to provide a mechanism to ·
accomplish the transfer Of water service of customers between the two entities
whenever such a transfer would be mutually beneficial.
NOW THEREFORE, Englewood and the Board agree as follows:
1. Iransfer of water servir;e, The transfer of taps from water service provided by
Englewood or the Board to water service provided by the other entity is hereby
authorized. The transfer must be approved by Englewood's City Council or their
qesignated representative and the Manciger of the Denver Water Board, using a form to
be developed by the two parties .
JUN.15.2001 3:52PM DEN WTR SALES ADMIN N0.084 P.3/4
2. Transferring Entjty , The transferring entity will be responsible for providing
notice to the customer whose tap is being transferred ~nd for the cost of physical
connections required to allow water to be supplied by the receiving entity.
3. Recaiving Eniity. After the physical connection is completed, the receiving
entity will provide water service to the transferTed tap, and bill the customer accordingly .
4. e.ayment of Tap Fees , It is anticipated that the Board and Englewood will
transfer customers between themselves on numerous occasions, and that payment of
tap fees for each transaction would be burdensome. Therefore, the parties agree to
perform an annual reconciliation to determine if either party owes tap fees to the other.
At the end of each CC11endar year in which water service has been transferred under this
Agreement, the Board and Englewood will convert the taps each has transferred into%-
inch equivalents, according to the table attached as Exhibit A. If one entity has
transferred more equivalents than the other , then that entity will pay the then-current tap
fee charged by the other for the number of excess %-inch equivalents.
5. Assignment. Neither party shall assign any of its rights and duties under this
Agreement without the written consent of the other party .
6. Applicable Laws. This Agreement shall be governed by and shall be
construed in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the State of Colorado .
7. Termination. This Agreement shall remain in force until superseded by
mutL.1al agreement between the parties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the parties have executed this agreement

Avenue is in need of rehabilitation. This storm sewer line drains stormwaters for the
Collegeview Drainage Basin , which serves the Scenic View area in northwest Englewood.
Alternatives to rehabilitation were evaluated and a plan was recommended. In January, 2000
approval was granted for professional design services to prepare a complete set of
construction drawings for the Dartmouth Avenue Storm Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
This storm sewer line has experienced degradation to a level that immediate rehabilitation is
necessary since the entire lower portion of the pipe has completely deteriorated and the street
could collapse at any time. Rehabilitation will consist of replacing the existing storm sewer line
with new rep pipe.
