Brown and Caldwell Engineers were hired to determine the plant's requirements and size of generator necessary to meet the electrical needs of the Allen Filter Plant in an emergency. Brown and Caldwell determined that the Caterpillar 3412 KW skid-mounted unit was the best generator for the plant's needs. Separate bids were requested for the generator and the associated wiring and installation. As a result, Wagner Power Equipment Company is the recommended low, acceptable bidder for the generator set at $56,672.00. For the associated wiring and installation, Ludvik Electric in the amount of $43,792.00 was the recommended low, acceptable bidder. Mr. Higday moved; Mr. Habenicht seconded: Ayes: Nays: Members absent: Motion carried. To recommend Council approval of the bids for an emergency generator for the Allen Filter Plant and the associated wiring and installation. Bradshaw, Habenicht, Higday, Moore, Clark, Garrett, Cassidy None Kasson, Otis 4. WATER TREATEMENT RESIDUALS DISPOSAL PLAN. Stu reviewed with the Board the necessity for a Water Treatment Residuals Disposal Plan for the Allen Plant's alum sludge. Radioactivity levels of the residuals has necessitated further investigation, making approval necessary from the State Health Department prior to disposal. Alternatives may include comingling clean dirt with residuals and selling as fill dirt, hauling the sludge to a designated monofill or the construction of a mono fill by the Utilities Department. Camp Dresser and McKee is coordinating the testing and plan submittal. The State Health Department will review the City's proposal in late January. 5. ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS REPORT-"RUNNING DRY" The Board received a copy of a series of Rocky Mountain News articles that ran from November 22, 2003 through November 26, 2003. The articles explain the potentially dire water supply situation in the Douglas County area. 6. OLGA WOLOSYN. Mr. Fonda and the Board expressed their appreciation for Olga's time spent on the Water and Sewer Board. Her term has expired on the Water Board, but Olga will continue to serve on Council.

December 1 7, 2003 Water and Sewer Board 1000 Englewood Parkway. Englewood, CO 80110 Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board: James P. Schellman 11020 Glacier Park Cr. Parker, CO 80138 303-946-9726 ATT. 3 In a day where the economy is fleeting and city budgets are shrtnking; I have a proposal that would be beneficial to both the city and the community. What I would like to propose would provide a new revenue source to the city without any cost. Within the city limits of Englewood are a small number of lakes that are an untapped revenue resource. I am proposing that the city open a few of those lakes to private water-ski usage. This would consist of a maximum of five to ten boats per lake with each boat purchasing a membership for up to $2 ,000. Since the water-ski season is only from about mid April to October, then ten boats on one lake would equal a six month revenue of approx. $20,000. With each new lake opened it creates the opportunity for the city to increase revenue further. The boats that would be allowed to operate on the lake are competition ski boats. Only one boat would be allowed to operate at a time minimizing the risk to the shoreline. When you water-ski the boat drives a single pass down the center of the lake, does a lollipop turn at the end , and drives directly back down the same path. This allows the wakes to dissipate and prevents their build up. Furthermore these boats are both quiet and efficient. The noise from the boats would be no louder than that of passing traffic , and any possible pollution would be far less than the pollutants being carried into the lakes from a passing rain. What I have introduced is a way for the lakes that are sitting idol at the moment to become new revenue for the city. There is also the opportunity for the city to receive National media exposure. By this I mean that one of the potential members is a 3-time World Champion Wakeboarder, another is a member of Team Air Nautique, as well as a few other professionally sponsored wakeboarders. As a side note: the patrons that would own a membership to your lakes are all well aware of the need for respect, and therefore would not be flagrant or disrespectful of the lake or city at any time. I am aware that this is a tough decision for the city, however I strongly believe that it would be of great benefit. Let me offer a few •.• ': ..... _ 2-+-':':':':;-::o.-.-:;';,.;;; •• -•• -~~ -•:.:;: --·= _. ______ ......... _._, ______ _, __ ---------· --.. --------- additional benefits. The money earned could be used for recreation (i.e. the parks); it can further the water development of the city, soften budgetary demands, or provide for a disaster relief fund. If opening up too many lakes were a stretch then perhaps introducing it on a probationary level for the 1st year would be useful. This would provide a foundation for the idea and offer an opportunity to tame any concerns. This is a wonderful possibility for the city to expand their revenue, and for the citizens of its community to benefit. If you agree that this is a positive new way to increase revenue then I would be delighted to meet with you to discuss the proposal further. Please contact me by phone at 303-946-9726 or email at jschellman@att.net. Time is of the essence; with spring rapidly approaching many private lake members are now looking for the lake they may call home for the summer. ? ~jj_···/:l /;~7 / / ' , .. ~/ ~·.~.,, 1 ~~ / !

THE DENVER POST Friday, December 12, 2003 · 1 South metro water providers tout plan Tough fight expected for expensive proposal that offers moderate boost in supply By Theo Stein Denver Post Environment Writer Water providers in the fast-grow- ing south metro region are pitch- ing a plan lo inject river water un- derground in wet years lo help stretch their aquifer supplies. But the proposal, which faces a tough fight on both sides of the Con- tinental Divide, envisions a rela- tively modest increase in total wa- ter supplies -enougl,l to serve 38,000 to 52,000 new families . And that water would come at a steep cost. Preliminary estimates for obtaining water rights, plumb- ing -and pumping systems range from $2.55 billion to $3 billion, though water managers acknowl- edge the final bill will likely be much higher. "There's no question that we have ,lived on the best and easiest supplies," said Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District manager Patrick Mulhern, one of several Douglas County water suppliers who participated in a study of the water options. "Anyone who pur- sues additional water supplies is looking at significant costs." An executive summary of the $1.3 million study released Thurs- day acknowledged that aggressive conservation and recycling pro- grams will have to be part of the solution . But replenishing the groundwater supplies that provide most of the region's waler must be- come a top priority, they said . The full study is still several weeks away from completion , but John Hendrick, general manager of the Centennial Waler and Sanita- tion District, said the group re- leased the executive summary lo confront criticism that south metro water suppliers are "asleep al the wheel." The waler officials acknowl- edged that while declining aquifer levels will make ii more expensive to nm municipal wells , demand for water in the sprawling suburban landscape south of Denver is ex - pected to skyrocket as the region's population booms from 179,000 to an estimated 406,000 by 2040 . Current waler usage of 42,323 acre r"ct per year is projecl.ed to reach 92,000 acre-feel per year. An acre-foot is 325 ,851 gallons, about enough waler to supply two average households for a year. The study examined four scenari- os . Drilling new wells would pro- vide limited new water and place the greatest strain on the aquifer . Another idea, pumping additional groundwater during off-peak peri- ods and storing it in reservoirs, would not only require new dams but also water treatment facilities . The two preferred strategies fo- cus on "conjunctive use," the prac- tice ·of injecting river water under- ground lo replenish aquifers. One would "borrow" water from Denver Water's reservoir system on the Blue River and South Platte basins in wet years and deliver it to the south metro area through a new pipeline system . In dry years, the region would have to rely on existing wells . Under that scenario, south metro communities could capture an ex- tra 26,000 acre-feet per year. But such a plan would mean low- er average water levels at Lake Dillon and Cheesman Reservoir, something boaters would likely ob- ject to . "I think it will be hard to con- vince our board to enter into a long -term deal premised on the as- sumption that the next 50 years will look like the last 50 years,". said Denver Water manager Chips Barry. The second strategy would cap- ture "excess" water on the Blue and South Platte rivers during wet springs for storage in new reser ~ voirs or injection into aquifers. However, skeptics abound. Eric Kuhn, general manager of" the Colorado River Water Conser- vation District in Glenwood Springs, said supporters will have· lo prove future transmountain di-- versions won't hurt-the Western Slope . "Technical studies are often the easiest part of water projects," he. said . "It's what's next that's the big challenge." · Denver Post staff writer Joey · Bunch contributed to this report.: · ·. 01 /08 /04 Tin! 14:40 FAX 303 798 3030 SOUTH SUBURBAN ADMIN • January 8, 2004 South Suburban PARKS AND RECREATION Mr. Stewart Fonda, Director of Utilities City of Englewood 1000 Englewood Parkway Englewood, CO 80110 BY FAX 303/783-6894 and US Mail RE : Englewood and South Suburban water Dear Stu: Thank you for meeting with us on October 16, 2003, rcgardini the 1992 IGA between Englewood and South Suburban. Since that time , my staff and consultants have conferred on the options available to South Suburban and have determined that South Suburban will accept Englewood's offer to provide tap water, by extension of the water line that the City is installing for its Pirate's Cove development. South Suburban will not, however, exercise its option for the 20 ac-feet of water from the Enelewood Municipal Golf Course well. This letter is intended to comply with the January 9, 2004 deadline: established by David Hill 's letter of October 23. I will ask Bill Woodcock to contact you , to work out the details of the purchase, design, and installation of the water t.ap necessary for South Suburban' s development north of Belleview Avenue. Please contact me with any questions or concerns regarding South Suburban' s acceptance of your offer. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
