2. Use of Auimcntcd Water Riahts. A portion of City Ditch travenes the City of
Englewood. The portion of City Ditch which is north of Hampden A venue and south of Harvard
Gulch is partly an unpiped open canal lined with old trees. The City and County of Denver (Denver)
has historically carried relatively constant flows of water in City Ditch through EnglcwoOd to
Harvard Gulch and beyond, from April 1 to October 31. Denver's water was diverted on the decree
for City Ditch (Platte Water Company ditch) entered December 10 , 1883, by the Douglas County
\.
APR-10-2002 WED 10:15 AM BERG HILL GREENLEAF FAX NO. 3034021600 P. 03/07
District Court in the first general adjudication of wa~ rights in fonner Water District 8. Applicant
has long used City Ditch to carry intemtictent stonn runoff water, in addition to Denver's flows. The
storm water is dumped from City Ditch at Harvard Gulch and flows into the South Platte River. The
flow of Denver's water in the ditch has provided irrigation to the ancient trees on its banks and
prov ided recreational and aesthetic benefits to Applicant and its citizens, and facilitated the carriage
of intennittcnt storm runoff water. Denver intends to cease carrying its water in City Ditch, in the
near future. In the absence of Denver's flows, the carriage of intemrittent storm runoff will create
leftover puddles in the ditch, which will breed insects and undesirable vegetation and be unsightly,
and the irrigation of ancient ditch-bank trees and the recreational and aesthetic benefits will be Jost.
Applicant intends to continue flows of water in the ditch, up to seven cubic feet per second, so that
the in termittent storm water can be carried without leaving deleterious and unhealthy puddles, and
so that continued irrigation of ancient trees and recreational and aesthetic benefits will be provided.
In order to provide the continued flows, Englewood applies for this plan of augmentation.
3. D.escripcion of Water Rights to be Auwiented. Any one or more, or a combination
of the water rights described below, wi.11 be used to provide the continued flows in City Ditch below
Hampden Avenue, up to 10 cfs. The water thus provided will be discharged from City Ditch at
Harvard Gulch , where it will flow for about one-half mile in an open channel to Logan Street, where
it will enter a storm sewer and flow approximately three fourths of a mile to the South Platte River
near Wesley A venue. When the water rights providing the flow are out of priority, Applicant will
augment the flow of the South Plane River in the amount of the depletions resulting from the water
diverted to provide the continued flows in City Ditch. The water rights which wiIJ provide the flows
are as follows:
a. Case No. 89CW063. 16 cfs decreed with a 1989 priority diverting from Bear Creek
at the McBroom Municipal Intake for municipal and recreational uses. Water under this right will
be run through a pipe li ne fro m Bear Creek to App li cant's regulatory reservoir on the east side of the
South Placte River at Union A venue, and will then be pumped up to the Allen Filter Plant at Layton
and Windmere and then run into the City Ditch.
b. ea.~e No . 90CW220. The exchange decreed in Case No. 90CW220 allows applicant
to divert water available under the aforementioned 89CW063 decree by exchange at the Applicant's
Union Avenue diversion point, at Union Avenue and the South Platte River, and at the Chatfield
Reservoir ditch outlet manifold
c. Case No. 90CW221. 38 cfs decreed with a 1990 priority diverting from the South
Platte River at Applicant's Union Avenue diversion point described above, for uses including
municipal and recreational purposes. Water under this right will be diverted into Applicant's
regulatory reservoir, then pumped up to the Allen Filter Plant and then run into the City Ditch .
d Case No. 90CW222. 38 cfs decreed with a 1990 priority diverting from the South
Platte River at Chatfield Reservoir, the intersection of City Ditch and Big Dry Creek, and the
int.ersection of City Ditch and Little Dry Creek, for uses including mLmicipal and recreational

purposes. Water under this right will be run directly from Chatfield Reservoir into City Ditch, or
diverted from Big Dry Creek and/or Uttle Dry Creek into City Ditch.
4. Statement Of Plan For Augmentatjon. By this application. Applicant seeks the right
to divert up to 10 cfs under any one or a combination of the water rights described in
Paragraphs 3(a), (b), (c) and (d) above in and out of priority April 1 through October 31 to provide
flows th.rough City Ditch from Hampden A venue to Harvard Gulch. Such water will be discharged
from City Ditch at Harvard Gulch, and will then flow approximately one~half mile jn an open
channel to Logan Street, thence approximately three-quarters of a mile in a storm sewer to the South
Platte River near Wesley Avenue . To augment the South Platte River for depletions which will
result when the above-described water rights arc out of priority, Applicant will release water from
Mclellan Reservoir, or leave in the South Platte River or Bear Creek at the McBroom Dir.ch
hcadgate, water which Applicant could otherwise have diverted in priority. The water rights and
contract rights which will provide the augmentation water are described in Paragraph 5 below .

c. Oth~r RidJts. Any other water rights or contractual rights to water which arc
available to Applicant now or in the future.
6. Calculation Of Out Of Prioritv ~letions. Applicant will measure the losses of flow
in City Ditch from the various points at which water may be introduced under this augmentation
plan, to Harvard Gulch . The measurements will be taken for reasonable periods of time when there
is no storm water inflow into City Ditch. The measurements will be taken at representative flow
levels, from which losses at various flow levels, from the various points, can be calculated.
Applicant will replace the losses as so calculated. In addition , Applicant will make a replacement
of three per cent of the water introduced into the ditch pursuant to this plan for augmentation, to
replace losses occurring between the Harvard Gulch turnout from City Ditch and the South Platte
River .
Applicant reserves the right to utilize other methods for calculation of depletion, pursuant
to this application or by amendment of any decree entered herein, based on historic observation,
more detailed or revised engineering calculations, credit for evaporation which would have occurred
had the out-of-priority tlows been left in the South Platte River , credit for water which returns to the
South Platte River from seepage out of unlined and unpiped portions of City Dicch, and\or the use
of reusable effluent as a source of augmentation water.
Depletions wil l be replaced at any one or more of the following locations: Chatfield
Reservoir; the confluence of Dad Clark Gulch and the South Plane River. the confluence of Big Dry
Creek and the South Platte River; the confluence of Little Dry Creek and the South Platte River,
Applicant's Union A venue diversion point described above; the confluence of the Harvard Gulch
drainage and the South Platte River near Wesley Avenue; the McBroom Ditch beadgate on Bear
Creek; or any additional point on the South Platte River selected by Applicant upstream from the
confluence of the Harvard Gulch drainage and the South Platte River and at or below the headgate
of the Highline Canal.
Depletions for each calendar day will be replaced within 24 hours after the end of that day.
7. Owne rsh ip of Structures. Applicant owns the easement and right of way for City
Ditch from Chatfield Reservoir to Harvard Gulch. Applicant has (or will obtain) the right to use
Harvard Gulch to carry the contemplated flows to the South Platte River. Applicant owns all other
facilities necessary for implementation of the plan. Applicant owns the water rights to be used to
provide augmentation water, and Applicant has contractual and other rights to receive the water to
be provided under the contracts listed above.

plan for augmentation and find that as a result of Applicant's plan for augmentation, there will be
no injury to any owner of a vested water right or to any person entitled to use water under a vested
water right.

INITIATED BY
Utilities Department
STAFF SOURCE
Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council approved purchase of a Vactor flusher truck in August 1995 in the amount of
$142,750.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council approval, by motion of the purchase of a sewer line cleaning/vacuuming mach ine
(vactor truck). Staff recommends awarding the bid to , in the amount of $
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The proposed combination cleaning/vacuuming machine is designed to simultaneously clean
and remove all liquids and solids from sanitary sewers, storm drain lines and other conduits.
This piece of equipment is necessary for routine and emergency sewer line maintenance and
will be replacing the existing defective unit.
The proposed combination flushing/vacuum truck that is being requested will allow the crew to
remove the blockage at the first point of contact rather than having to flush the debris to the
nearest trunk line. The proposed truck will allow removal of the blocking solids at the point of
the problem rather than have go through entire system to the treatment plant.

RE: Recent Drinking Water Taste and Odors
Recent taste and odors in Englewood's drinking water have resulted in customer
complaints for about a week. Preliminary investigation indicated the cause is algal
blooms in the S. Platte River. Due to the current drought conditions there is essentially
no flow being released from Chatfield Reservoir, and Englewood's senior water rights at
Union Ave are being satisfied by inflows between Chatfield Reservoir and Union Ave.
The slow flow rate, combined with the sunlight and nutrients present, are causing the
algal blooms in the river.
At Union Ave. potassium permanganate is added to the water to remove manganese. It is
believed that the permanganate manganese also kills the algae. When the algae are
killed, oils are produced which can pass thru the treatment plant processes. When these
oils, even in very low quantities, combine with the chlorine used in disinfection, taste and
odors are produced that are very objectionable.
We are pursuing two methods of eliminating taste and odors in the water. By increasing
diversions down the City Ditch to replace what is being taken at Union Avenue a better
quality water can be introduced at the treatment plant. Also, we are investigating the use
of powder activated carbon to adsorb the oils and algae and thereby remove them as part
of the treatment process .
We have been successful in increasing the flows in City Ditch from 3 cubic feet per
second ( cfs) to 10 cfs out of a total treatment plant demand of 25 cfs. This should have a
significant impact on the taste and odor problem but probably will not totally eliminate it.
It is possible that the addi tion of powder activated carbon at the Union Ave Pump Station
could eliminate the algae and the oils by absorbing them on the carbon particles which
would be removed in the subsequent flocculation/sedimentation portion of the treatment
,!~ Printed on Recycled Paper ~-
plant processes. It will take about a week to investigate on a laboratory scale which, if
any, powder activated carbons would work. IF we find one that works in the lab tests, it
will then take about another week to be able to obtain the equipment necessary to go to a
full-scale operation. We will then proceed with implementing this solution as quickly as
possible.
This is the first time these extreme conditions have been observed this time of year.
These low flows have been experienced in the winter, but the algal blooms have not
occurred during that time probably because of the low temperatures. We will be
considering whether long-term powder activated carbon facilities will be added to the
treatment process for these extreme instances.
We appreciate the understanding of the Englewood resident as we attempt to find a
solution to a problem that has not appeared before.
