The Board received information on the Solar Bee that was installed at the Allen Filter
Plant in the North Reservoir. The Solar Bee was purchased to provide solar-powered
circulation to evenly distribute alum sludge, increase dissolved oxygen and raise pH
levels at greater depths in the reservoir. Plant personnel are pleased with the results and
another unit is budgeted for 2003.
5. WATER SUPPLY OUTLOOK.
Stu reviewed Englewood's water supply outlook with the Board for the summer of 2002.
Stu noted that in a dry year the low stream flow in the river, together with the demands
for water from senior rights , might result in the City's senior river rights not being able to
provide the City with all of the water needed. Englewood can supplement water
shortages by using 750 acre feet of Eleven Mile Reservoir using 750 acre feet of
evaporations losses that Denver m ust provide by contract and by drawing water from
McLellan Reservoir storage reserves.
The Board also received a copy of an e-mail from a citizen sent to Rick Kahm in Public
Works expressing concern that the City Hall fountain is an inefficient use of water. Stu
discussed how much water is used for the fountain and landscaping. The Board
supported the continued use of the City Hall fountain.
6. CLOUD SEEDING OPERATION.
The Board received a request from Denver discussing a cloud seeding program they are
implementing to augment current drought conditions. Being that Englewood could also
benefit from the runoff produced from the cloud seeding, Denver is requesting
Englewood's participation in the program with Western Weather Consultants. Denver
calculated that Englewood's share at $5,530 -0.79% of the pro rata share . The Board
recommended Englewood participate in Denver's cloud seeding program.
7. RUNOFF FROM MOUNTAIN FIRES.
Stu discussed possible effects of the summer of 2002 mountain fires on the Englewood
water supply. Cheesman Reservoir and Strontia Springs will be absorbing most of the
immediate runoff, but some may affect Chatfield Reservoir. Stu noted that the Allen
Plant's activated carbon system may remove any taste and odors from any runoff water.
8 . BI-CITY PROJECT.
Stu discussed the impending rat e hike that will be discussed at an upcoming
Englewood/Littleton joint counci l meeting. The State will be increasing nitrate removal
standards , but final regulation standards have not yet been determined. Cash flows and
projected rate increases will be determined in the next few months.
9. FIELD TRIP .
A field trip to Ranch Creek or Boreas Pass will be September 7. Final details will be
announced at the August Water Board meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 5 :58 p .m.
The next Water and Sewer Board meeting will be Tuesday, August 13, 2002 in the
Community Development Conference Room.

Water Supply to City Ditch
AT T. 3.
The Denver Water Department has been providing 2.5 cubic feet per second of
water to maintain flows in the City Ditch near Bates Park for aesthetic purposes.
Theses flows were made volun tarily by Denver and they have honored their
commitment. This has allowed Englewood time to experiment with various methods
of maintaining flows in this section of the Ditch in the future when Denver's
voluntary obligation ends.
Given the severity of the current drought, it no longer appears appropriate to hold
Denver to this commitment. The only use to which the water is being placed is
aesthetic enjoyment by the people along the Ditch . The amount of water being
wasted in this use is enormous compared to the benefits. The entire City of
Englewood's demand is only about 24 cubic feet per second.
It is my recommendation that we meet with representatives of this group and inform
them of the severity of the situation. It is also my recommendation that we inform
Denver that we should cease their voluntary flows so that these flows can be put to
municipal use where they are sorely needed by the water rights appropriation system
of Colorado.

DROUGHT CONDITIONS
In response to the drought conditions currently effecting the entire State of
Colorado , the Englewood Parks and Recreation Department has
implemented the following water conservation efforts:
En g lewood Golf Course
Englewood Golf Course uses onl y non-potable water for irrigation purposes. Our
imgation water comes from :VkBroom Ditch and the Olsen-Bell wells. Currentl y, we are
irrigating a full cycle (100%) one night and a half cycle (50%) the next night B y doing
this, we are reducing water consumption by 10%. Staff is also hand watering new sod
and greens as necessary . We are using wetting agents and liquid fertilize r to help our dry
conditions . A weather station has been purchased to further assist our computerized
irrigation programming with more efficient use of our irrigation water. This combination
should help us realize a reduction in water usage by approximately 25 %. We have also
raised the height of cut on the rough b y a half-[nch in order to reduce our watering needs.
Infonnational signs have been posted on #1 tee and ::;:10 tee to notify golfers about the
type o f water being used to irrigate the golf course .
En g lewood Parks
Englewood Parks uses a combination of well water, lake water and potable water for
irrigating our parklands, greenbe lts , athletic fields and medians. Currently. we are
irrigating parks , greenbelts and medians -+ nights per week instead of the typical seven
nights per week. High use athletic field areas are currently watered every night. This
results in approximately a 30% water saving in our parks system.
Please understand that in order to do our part in the effort to conserve our water resources
there will be some turf areas that will be dry and brown. If you have any questions
regarding our watering practices please call 303-762-2683 .

the former highway right-of-way and some portions of the City Ditch right-of-way overlap with
the new highway right-of-way . The agreement also allows storm drainage crossing structures
to be incorporated to create a drainage system for historic runoff.
Englewood's City Attorney and the Util ities Engineer have reviewed and approved the Joint
Use Agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
COOT will realign and pipe approximately 1,000 feet of the City Ditch at thei r expense. The
storm drain crossing structures will also be constructed and maintained by COOT.
