2 . GUEST: SHIRLEY SHIELDS -4748 S. LINCOLN ST. KOI POND
Mrs. Shirley Shields appeared before the Board to discuss her four koi fish that died after
she added approximately 25 gallons of water from their hose. Bill McCormick previously
discussed with her the effects of chloramines on fish and that dechlorination is necessary
before adding water to a fish pond or tank. She recommended to the Board that a notice
of the effects of chloramines on fish be added to the bills. As a result , a notice covering
precautions that should be taken by fish owners and dialysis patients will appear in the
next Pipeline, which should be distributed the first part of June, 2007.
Mrs. Shields was given additional information regarding chloramines and a copy of the
chloramines notice that was previously distributed to residents. Mr. Wiggins
recommended that Mrs . Shields contact her homeowner ' s insurance carrier about
reimbursement for the fish.
3. CONVERSTION OF FLAT RATE CUSTOMERS TO METERS.
The Board received a memo dated February 26, 2007 from John Bock, Utilities Manger,
regarding conversion of Flat Rate Customers to Meters. The plan assumes that the
interested customer is paying a higher flat rate bill than a metered bill. The resident
would have the meter installed without paying anything up front , but the resident would
continue to pay their normal flat rate bill. Each quarter the meter will be read, with any
flat rate amount above the metered bill being used to pay for the meter. If the metered
bill is higher than the flat rate amount the customer would be responsible for that amount.
The program will cover the cost of the meter and , if need be, the cost of installation.
If, within 12 months , the meter reading and billing patterns demonstrate no difference, or
the meter charges are higher, the program costs will be added to the account and collected
with the normal quarterly billing. If the property changes hands while under this
program, all remaining costs immediately become due and payable. The cost of the meter
and installation must be paid off in 24 months. John Bock will monitor the payment
plans. The City Attorney's office is drafting an agreement to be signed by the
participating owners.
Mr. Clark moved;
Ms. Habenicht seconded: To appro v e the conversion of the flat rate
customers to meter plan outlined in the
memo from John Bock, Utilities Manager,
dated February 26, 2007 .

4. MEMO FROM DA YID HILL DATED APRIL 16, 2007 REGARDING WATER
LAW ACTIVITIES
The Board discussed a water rights review from David Hill, Englewood's Water Attorney
regarding water rights issues.
5. PUBLICATION FROM BROWN & CALDWELL DATED APRIL 12, 2007,
"WHY AREN'T WE EVER FINISHED WITH OUR CLEAN WATER
PROJECTS?"
The Board received a publication from Brown & Caldwell titled, "Why Aren't We Ever
Finished With Our Clean Water Projects?" The report concluded that there are
continuous changes in programs while science will continue to be refined and tools to
measure various pollutants will be improved. Brown & Caldwell concluded there is not
an end to the process, but discussion among stakeholders will continue on what
constitutes fishable and swimmable waters .
6. ALLEN PLANT ALUM SLUDGE.
Stu notified the Board that, because of on-going litigation, Adams County will not grant
approval or permission for Englewood to dispose of the Allen Plant sludge in Adams
County facilities. Stu and Bill had a meeting with the State regarding the Allen Plant
sludge. The State verbally agreed to let Englewood conduct a risk assessment with other
landfills.
7 . COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION.
Stu will be meeting with City Council to discuss the upcoming budget on May 19 . The
last scheduled water and sewer rate increases will be January, 2008 . Stu discussed future
UV filtration requirements that are estimated at $2 to $3 million. Future rate increases for
2009 -2014 will be discussed with Council at that time.
The next Water and Sewer Board meeting will be June 12, 2007 in the Community
Development Conference Room at 5 :00 p.m .

Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR)-Schedule 3
The LT2ESWTR was published in the F ederal R egister on January 5, 2006. The goal of the new LT2ESWTR is to reduce
the risk of disease caused by Cryptosporidium and other microorganisms by identifying the systems at the greatest risk for
source water contamination. EPA finalized both the LT2ESWTR and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts
Rule (Stage 2 DBPR) at the same time. Together, these rules will improve protection against microbial contamination while
reducing risks from disinfection byproducts .
Under the LT2ESWTR, filtered systems will need to collect source water Cryptosporidium, E. coli, and turbidity samples
once per month from every surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water (GWUDI) source for a
period of24 months. However, if you already have monitoring data for these contaminants , you may be able to "grandfather"
the data. The LT2ESWTR will also allow you to grandfather just Cryptosporidium data without the associated E .coli and
turbidity data.
Unfiltered systems will need to collect source water Cryptosporidium samples at least once per month for 24 months.
However, if you already have monitoring data for Cryptosporidium, you may be able to "grandfather" the data.
Instead of conducting source water monitoring or submitting grandfathered data, systems may choose to provide the
maximum treatment required by the LT2ESWTR. Download the LT2ESWTR from EPA's website at
www.epa.gov/safewater/disinfection/lt2 /regulations .html#prepub.
State records show that your system is required to comply with the source water monitoring requirements on Schedule 3 .
These requirements are based on the information that your system:
Serves 10 ,000 to 49,999 people OR sells/supplies water and the largest system in your combined distribution system serves
10 ,000 to 49,999 people; and
Treats a surface water or GWUDI source.
A combined distribution system is a group of water systems that buy/sell/supply water from/to each other.
If you believe our records are incorrect, or you have a question, please notify us at armando.herald@state .co.us as soon as
possible .
By January l, 200 8 (3 months prior to beginning source water monitoring), Schedule 3 systems must submit to EPA , for State
approval, a sampling schedule and description of sample location(s), and/or provide a notice stating you plan to submit
grandfathered data, or a notice that you intend to provide additional treatment rather than monitor source water.

MEMORANDUM
Gary Sears, City Manager
Stewart~ of Utilities

2007 Utilities Budget Overview
ATT. 3
Audit results indicate that in 2006 the water utility met bond coverage requirements and
maintained an adequate balance in the water fund. Therefore, no adjustments to the
previously established rate increases are proposed at this time. The last rate increase of
7% in January 2008 was established in 2004. During this period most of the proposed
major repair and replacements projects have been accomplished. One project that still
remains to be done is the replacement of the Union A venue pipeline from Santa Fe to
Federal. There are funds in the fund balance to complete this project and still have a fund
balance near what was projected in 2004.
It is, however, anticipated that rate increases will be required from 2009 to 2013 to
finance increases in operations and maintenance costs, large capital repairs and
replacements, and construction of an ultra-violet (UV) disinfection system at the Allen
Plant. The large capital repairs include replacement of the roof at the Allen Filter Plant
and repairs to the overhead storage reservoirs. The UV disinfection system will be
required to meet the new Long Term 2 enhanced surface water rule (LT2). The UV
system must be online by October 2013 . Construction would therefore need to start by
fall of 2012, and design would need to begin by late 2011. In addition, there may also be
increases in sludge disposal costs, water rights litigation, and power and chemical costs.
Sewer Utility
It appears at this time that no changes to the previously established rate increase for the
sewer fund will be needed in 2008. The sewer plant construction remains under budget
and ahead of schedule . It is possible that UV disi nfection may be required to meet future
proposed ammonia limits. This will probably be addressed next year.
Storm Water Utility
No adjustments to storm water fees are anticipate d at this time.

Stu Fonda has asked us to provide brief descriptions of the reasons for Englewood's
involvement in all cases which appear on our bills each month, as well as a brief summary of the
work performed by this firm during the month. The fi llowing paragraphs contain these descriptions
with respect to the matters reflected on the enclosed invoices:
Introduction . Please understand that this letter is a confidential attorney-client
communication. Please keep it confidential.
The large item in this bill is for Englewood 's park wells augmentation plan . The one
remaining opponent in this case was FRICO. FRICO settled on the afternoon before the trial , after
we had been forced to fully prepare for trial. The trial preparation of course included extensive work
with our witnesses, who were going to be Joe Pershin, Joe Tom Wood and Michelle Johnson , and
depositions of the opposing witnesses. It also included preparation of a trial brief which dealt with
several issues which the FRICO people had said they would raise, and evidence they intended to
present. We did not believe those issues and evidence were legally appropriate, and so had to
prepare and file a brief. It appeared , to some degree , that FRI CO was seeking a "handle" with which
to force settlement of our case against them regardin g their change of use from agricultural to
municipal. Finally, of course , we had to assemble and mark a considerable number of exhibits which
we intended to introduce, prepare opening statement and prepare closing argument.
The case was settled essentially in accordance with our proposed decree, which we had
provided to the other side months ago . All the opponents except FRICO had settled soon after
receipt of our proposed decree .
The alternative to getting the augmentation plan approved was to pipe the parks so they could
be sprinkled with treated water, an expensive and needle ss procedure.
The Brighton change case still moves toward sensible settlement. Drafting of a proper decree
has been rendered complex by two factors. First, Brighto , Metro Sewer and South Adams Water
& San District are negotiating to build a new wastewater treatment plant well below Brighton, and
below their present locations. The new plant would discharge below the headgates of some senior
ditches , whereas the discharge from the existing plants and the agricultural return flows came in
above those ditches. Brighton is willing to deal with that problem, but drafting has taken time.
Second, Brighton gets much ofits water through the FRI CO ystem , which has inadequate measuring
devices at some of the locations where Brighton wants to take its water. Negotiating about proper
measuring devices has been time consuming.
Finally, there are two FRI CO matters. First is the FRICO/United/ECCV change cases, which
are early in the trial preparation and motion process , and are requiring time. Second, FRICO has
Daniel L. Brotzman
May 10 , 2007
Page 3
made various threats about Englewood's City Ditch rights, which has caused us to update our
research into the history of City Ditch and the cases which deal with that particular legal and factual
situation. We have a good case , and want to be ready ifFRICO seeks to shut down our diversions.
The remainder of the cases are described below.
1. General (#001): This matter is our general file for work not attributable to specific
cases . In some instances, the work is not specific to a particular matter. In other instances, the time
spent on any individual matter is not large enough to justify a separate bill, but the time on the group
of matters is significant. This includes charges related to general calendaring, reviewing various
daily incoming pleadings and correspondence , overall case management and other activities that are
not case specific. It usually includes preparation of many statements of opposition.
2. Colorado Division of Wildlife (90CW123) (#215): Applicant seeks 75 acre-feet of
storage in Chatfield Reservoir for fish , wildlife and m aintenance of storage reserve. It also seeks
augmentation and exchange rights for replacement of depletions the Chatfield Fish Unit. Englewood
entered this case because of its location and because it relates to the fish hatchery . We prepared for
and participated in a Referee status conference.
3. Colorado Division of Wildlife (94CW012) (#331): Applicant seeks a2,000 acre-foot
storage right in Chatfield Reservoir. Englewood entered this case because of its close proximity to
its diversion facilities, rights in the South Platter River and aspects of Applicant's decree in
80CW 152 . We reviewed a notice of substitution of counsel within the Attorney General's office.
4. Buffalo Park, et al. (94CW290) (#341 ): Applicants seek ground water rights, surface
water rights, change of water rights and an augmentation plan, including exchange for the purpose
of providing augmentation water to four subdivisions located in the Bear Creek/Turkey Creek water
shed in the Evergreen area. Englewood entered this case to preserve return flows from Warrior
Ditch. We have reached a stipulated settlement with applicant and will continue to monitor the case
for compliance with that stipulation . We reviewed transmittal of record and notice of filing of record
on appeal.
5. Colorado Div. of Parks (98CW462) (#448): This case involves a change of its 1 cfs
interest in the 4 cfs of the 1861 Gardeners' Ditch priori ty to Cherry Creek Reservoir to cover
evaporation at the reservoir. This application was anticipated by Englewood for some time. Martin
and Wood performed the historic use study for Parks. Englewood entered this case to ensure the
final decree is proper since it diverts from the South Platte River below Union A venue and above
the Burlington Ditch. We reviewed a notice of change of address of John Dingess .

WATER BOARD ALLOCATES $4 MILLION
TO HELP ADDRESS STATE \VATER NEEDS
DENVER
Bill ltitter, Jr.
Governor
Harris D. Sherman
Executive Director
Rod Kuharich
CWCB Director
Dan McAuliffe
Deputy Director
The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) met this week and approved over$ 4 million
dollars in grants for 15 water related projects across the state . "This historic effort is an important
first step in helping local communities address their foture water needs ," said Harris Shennan ,
Executive Director of the Department of Natural Resources . The grants are the first allocation from
the Water Supply Reserve AccolUlt (Accollllt). The Accollllt was established by the 2006 legislature,
and provides $40 million dollars over 4 years to assis t local communities and water providers in
meeting their water needs.
Monies from the Accollllt can be used to address a broad range of needs, including planning studies
and project implementation. In addition, monies can be used to address traditional water needs such
as municipal and agricultural uses and non-conswnptive needs, which include environmental and
recreational uses . In order to be eligible for funding, local basin roundtables, which were created by
the Water for the 21st Century Act, must first approve the concept before the project is forwarded to
the CWCB for consideration. "This is a very exciting time . We are starting to see a lot of
cooperation and collaboration take place in these local rolUldtables and with the CWCB ," said Travis
Smith, Chair of the CWCB and member of the Rio Grande Basin Rolllldtable.
The 15 projects are spread throughout the state , with the Colorado River Basin proposing the largest
nwnber of projects (6) totaling$ 2,170,000 . According to Rick Brown, CWCB manager for the
Accollllt, "the Colorado River Basin's applications represent a full range of activities . The projects
included enlargement of Eagle Park Reservoir; studies to look at energy water needs in the Colorado
River Basin, and the White and Yampa River Basins; and analysis of environmental water needs in
the Roaring Fork, Fraser, and Blue Rivers."
There are 9 local Basin Roundtables statewide and they will be working closely with the CWCB to
ensure that the funds from the AccolUlt are used to help meet critical water supply needs for
Colorado . In 2004 the CWCB completed the Statewide Water Supply Initiative, which identified
that by the year 2030 Colorado will need an additional 630,000 acre feet of water annually to meet
human needs for water. One acre foot of water is approximately 325,000 gallons. This is a
significant challenge and it is made more difficult by the fact that Coloradoans also value using
water for agriculture, environmental and recreational purposes, which in turn support local
economies and tourism . The Water Supply Reserve Accollllt is an example of how state support can
help local communities begin to addresses challenges .

Stu Fonda has asked us to provide brief descriptions of the reasons for Englewood's
involvement in all cases which appear on our bills ea ch month, as well as a brief summary of the
work performed by this firm during the month. The following paragraphs contain these descriptions
with respect to the matters reflected on the enclosed invoices:
Introduction. Please understand that this letter is a confidential attorney-client
communication. Please keep it confidential.
The largest item is again the FRICO /United/Eas.t Cheny Creek change cases. Two pa1iicular
aspects of those cases have occupied a great deal of our time. The first is that FRI CO has stubbornly
refused to follow the terms of the decree which was entered last fall , both with respect to maximum
diversions and with respect to proper accounting. We have been in extensive contact with FRICO ,
Aurora and the State Engineer's office about this. We are in hopes that Jim Hall, the Division
Engineer, will soon require proper accounting and compliance. He is to meet with Kate Griffin to
review the problems shortly.
The second problem is that a new headgate is being built for the Burlington Canal. It is some
800 feet upstream from the old headgate, has a far different design, and may result in regular
bypasses of water which should have gone into the canal, thus slowing filling of the reservoirs. The
FRI CO people have stubbornly resisted providing the plans , specifications and engineering repo1is
for the new headgate to our engineers. After we sent a formal request for production of documents ,
they finally complied ; but it was a great deal of needless trouble to get the information.
Finally, we have just sent out our first set of formal interrogatories and requests for
production of documents.
We have successfully settled the Brighton change case , which was a major change of senior
ditch rights. Settlement took a good deal of time, because the case involves the Burlington Ditch and
some rights in the ditch, and it is therefore inter-related with the FRICO/United /East Cheny Creek
cases .
We are proceeding on our application for junior direct flow rights at Chatfield, some of
which have been made absolute by diversions. These rights divert down City Ditch and are quite
useful.
The Lochbuie/Bromley case is closely intertwined with FRICO/United /East Cherry Creek ,
which complicates settlement. We need to be sure that the settlement in this case does not impact
the other cases. Settlement appears likely.

Finally, we are completing an in-depth memo about City Ditch rights, so that it will always
be available in the files.
The remainder of the cases are described below .
1. General (#001): This matter is our general file for work not attributable to specific
cases. In some instances , the work is not specific to a particular matter. In other instances , the time
sp e nt on any individual matter is not large enough to justify a separate bill, but the time on the group
of matters is significant. This includes charges related to general calendaring, reviewing various
daily incoming pleadings -and correspondence , overall ca se management and other activities that are
not case specific . It usually includes preparation of many statements of opposition .
2. McDonald (87CW321) (#147): This cas e involves an application for direct flow and
storage rights on unnamed tributaries of Plum Creek. Englewood's interest is to monitor the case
to see that administration of very junior rights is proper. We reviewed a status report.
3. McDonald (92CW 152) (#297): This case involves an application for direct flow and
storage rights on unnamed tributaries of Plum Creek . E nglewood's interest was to monitor the case
to see that administration of very junior rights is proper. We reviewed a status report.
4. Buffalo Park, et al. (94CW290) (#341): Applicants seek ground water rights, surface
water rights, change of water rights and an augmentation plan, including exchange for the purpose
of providing augmentation water to four subdivisions loc ated in the Bear Creek/Turkey Creek water
shed in the Evergreen area. Englewood entered this case to preserve return flows from Warrior
Ditch. We have reached a stipulated settlement with applicant and will continue to monitor the case
for compliance with that stipulation . We reviewed pleadings regarding extension to file opening
brief.
5. Ready Mixed Concrete Co. (90CW039) (#343): We have entered this case by motion
to intervene at the request of the Referee of Water Division No . 1 because it is closely related to
90CWOI 7 and 92CW016 (in which Englewood is already an Objector). We reviewed a notices of
change of address for Petros & White and Lind , Lawrence & Ottenhoff and prepared for and
participated in a Referee status conference .
6. Glenmoor Country Club, Inc. (95CWI 98) (#351): This case involves augmentation
water from reusable return flows out of Denver's water service area. This water is accrued to Little
Dry Creek and Glerunoor's application may injure Englewood's decreed water rights in Case No.
90CW222. We reviewed a notice of change of address fo r Petros & White.
