2. CITY DITCH LICENSE AGREEMENT -3055 S. UNIVERSITY BL VD .
Pete Pappas, owner of the vacant land at 3055 S. University Blvd., appeared before to
Board to request approval to allow his property to be connected to the existing 15"
Denver Metro sewer line located at the east side of University and the Denver Water
Department water main, also located in University. The proposed project is for the
development of four single-family residences on the vacant parcel of land north of the
existing Korean church at the northwest comer of University and E. Dartmouth Ave.
Mr. Fonda agreed with the requested connections since connecting to Englewood's mains
would be impractical because of the length of mains that would be necessary. Mr. Fonda
noted that manholes and a maintenance agreement with Englewood or would be required
for the sewer connection. The Board directed Mr. Fonda to send the Denver Water
Department a letter stating Englewood's approval for Mr. Pappas to connect to their lines.

The Utilities Department purchases water meters needed for an entire year by requesting
one large bid proposal for additional cost savings. The metering system is being
converted to the ITRON Automatic Meter Reading System. All meters and registers will
be compatible with the ITRON System. About $15,000 worth of these meters and yokes
will be resold to Englewood customers for new installations as part of the flat-rate-to-
meter conversion process. The remaining stock will be used to replace inactive or poorly
functioning meters. Bids were received from two vendors -Mountain States Pipe &
Supply was the low bidder for the ERT meters at $61,981 .36 and Dana Kepner was the
lower bidder for the yokes, valves and fittings at $6 ,374.66.

4 . EVALUATION OF THE ALLEN FILTER PLANT.
The Board received a letter from the State of Colorado dated January 30, 2002 regarding
a voluntary evaluation of the Allen Water Treatment Plant. The purpose of the
Comprehensive Performance Evaluation is to identify factors that may be adversely
impacting a plant's ability to achieve permit compliance without major capital
improvements. This is part of a statewide project to document the performance of
drinking water treatment plants using a consistent methodology. The evaluation for the
Allen Plant is scheduled for April 19, 2002 .
5. DENVER POST ARTICLE-T-REX WORK SEVERS HISTORIC CITY
DITCH.
The Board received an article dated March 4, 2002 from the Denver Post discussing the
agreement between the Denver Water Board and the Transportation Expansion Project to
sever the City ditch under I-25 near the University of Denver. Denver has agreed to run
between one-third and one-half of its normal flow of water in the ditch over the next two
years while Englewood looks for a permanent source of replacement water.
Stu noted there will be a "Save the City Ditch" meeting held by Englewood citizens on
March 13, 2002 at 5:00 in the Library Conference Room.
>,
•.
6. WATER & SEWER RATE INCREASE.
Stu discussed the economics and factors for a proposed water and sewer rate increase.
Increased population and additional nitrate standards have contributed to the necessity of
updating the water and wastewater treatment plants. It was noted that the last sewer rate
increase was in 1982. The Board discussed spreading out the rate increases as not to
create a hardship on the residents. Rate amounts will be reviewed at future meetings. An
article notifying customers of the potential rate increase will appear in the next "Citizen."
The meeting adjourned at 5.: 50 p.m.
The next Water and Sewer Board meeting will be Tuesday, April 9, 2002 in the
Community Development Conference Room.

REGARDING : McBroom Ditch Water Rights at S. Julian
Dear Mr . Elzinga.
0 D
I am in receipt o f yo ur fa x dat ed March 21. 2002 re ga rding your cl a im o f water rights.
would refer yo u to an att orne y wh o speciali zes in Co lo rado water law . Your s tatement s
concernin g wa ter ri ght s ar e no t. in the o pinion o f the Ditch Compan y. accurate . We ha ve
pro vided yo u with the requested info rma ti on which is that Mr. Lerass, when he owned this
propert y , did in fact ha ve water rights on the McBroom Ditch . Those water rights were sold
to the Colorado Central Power Compan y by deed on January 17 , 1957 . That severed any
connection between the water rights on the McBroom Ditch and the properties on S. Julian ,
originally Lots 15 and 16.
As for your concerns regarding a provision for taking water, which you claim y·1u are due as
owner of the se lots. should the Water Commissioner for the State of Colorado find. in a
judicial proceeding, that you are in fact the owner of certain shares of stock in the McBroom
Ditch Company or that you are in fact entitled to certain water out of the McBroom Ditch, the
McBroom Ditch Company will ..;ertainl y compl y with any such ruling and provide water to
the proper owner of said water rights . However. until such a determination by the Colorado
Water Commissioner. the McBroom Ditch Company 's position is that the one share of
McBroom Ditch stock which evidenced the above water right was in fact transferred to the
Colorado Central Power Company which was in tum transferred to the City of Englewood.
The Mc Broom Ditch Company encourages you not to interfere with the activities of the Ditch
Company which are performed pursuant to its rights as the owner of the right-of-way across
Lot 16.

Attention Englewood Residents: This letter contains important
information on changes in water disinfection method
The City of Englewood's Utilities Department is preparing to change the way it disinfects its water supply.
Beginn i ng mid-April, 2002 , chloramines will be used i nstead of chlorine as the disinfectant in your tap
water. Many other drinking water providers in Colorado and the re st of the nation currently use
chloramines. Locally, Denver Water, Aurora, Highlands Ranch , and Westminster use chloramines.
The primary reason for this change is to lower d isinfection by-products in the water and to continue to
meet the increasingly stringent Drinki ng Water Standards regarding disinfection by-products. Chloram i ne
treatment has been used effectively for di sinfection purposes for many years by drinking water providers
across t he country. As an added benefit, chloramine treatment has been shown to lessen the chlorine
taste i n water. The Utilities Department is confident that the new treatment method will improve the taste
and odor of Englewood 's water.
Chloramines do not pose a health hazard to the general population. However, they can be a serious
problem to individuals with kidney dise ase undergoing dialysis treatment on an artificial kidney
machine unless the chloramines are reduced to acceptable levels. The Utilities Department has been
working with the State and County Health Departments to ensure that everyone involved with the treat-
ment of dialysis patients is alerted and that proper precautions are taken. The health care providers are
aware of the changes and have the necessary procedures in place to ensure patient safety. If you have
concerns, check with your treatment center.
Chloramines, like chlorine, are toxic to fish. Lett i ng the water sit for a period of time helps dissipate
chlorine, but it is not a reliable way to treat the water for longer lasting chloramines. Therefore, if you
have pet fish in an aquar i um, you should assure that the fish are properly protected. Contact your local
\ pet and fish shops to determine the best way to treat water for chloramines.
·~,
If you have any questions about this change in the water treatment, please contact the City of Englewood
Utilities Department at 303-762-2635 .

effort to balance the budget

the distnc t used about
$700.000 to balance the budget.
Looking at the coming
school year. the foreca~t is
enrollment wi ll decline from
430.35 to -105.46. That means,
even with higher per pupil allo-
cation from the state . because
there are fewer students in
Englewood schools, there will
be less 'late dollars coming to
the district.
Glenn Mohr. district finan-
cial officer. made the budget
presentation . He said the fore -
cast fo r the budge for the next
fiscal year is fo r total revenues
to be about i26.8 million a nd
spending at the same level once
the position cuts are made .
White emphas ized the staff
cuts are fiscally responsible in
light of declini ng enrollment.
He a lso said that, in some
cases, cutting staff positions
can be accomplished by mov-
ing people frpm one job to
Total
another "' by combining jobs.
But that can't be done in al l
cases and the result is . if the
school board approves the staff
cu ts. there will br fewer people
workin!! for the di s trict when
schoo l reopens in September.
"We think we can make the
cuts through people retiring or
leaving the district for othe r
reasons ... Larr~ Nisbe t. who

teachers we 'd like to keep who

age of about 25 new teache rs a
year and this mean" we won "t
have to hire that many this
year.
