4. ORDINANCE CHANGE FOR SEWER CONNECTION & REP AJRS.
When a residence is demolished, with plans to rebuild a new house, management of
sewer services has been an issue. Sewer services can be lost during a demolition without

would manage and control what is happening to these services at demolition. The City
Attorney has reviewed and approved the language and changes to the Code.

7. RELEASE OF INTEREST TO MAINTAIN A SEWER LINE AT RIVERPOINT
IN SHERIDAN.
Weingarten Miller Sheridan and the City of Sheridan have requested that Englewood
release its interest in the right to install and maintain a sewer line under Lot 1, Block 6,
Riverpoint at Sheridan Filing No. 2 . According to Tom Brennan, Utilities Engineer, the
sewer line was removed during construction of the Riverpoint Project in Sheridan.
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved the request and notes that this was
not an easement, but a right originally granted by resolution. Weingarten Miller Sheridan
is making the request because the original resolution appears on the plat as a title
exception, and due to the line no longer existing, should be removed from the title.
Mr. Moore moved;
Mr. Woodward seconded:
Ayes :
Nays:
Members absent:
Motion carried.
To recommend Council approval of the
release of interest granting permission to
install and connect a sewer main in

8. MS. ROSANNE JUERGENS -6632 S. SHERMAN ST. REQUEST TO
CHANGE SEWER BILL SCHEDULE.
The Board received a copy of the letter sent to Ms. Rosanne Juergens at 6632 S. Sherman
St. regarding a request to change sewer bills from annual to quarterly billing. The letter
stated that changing to a quarterly billing schedule would prohibitively increase billing
costs. The City of Englewood has consistently advised customers of the acceptability of
making payments over two, three or four months. Language will be inserted in future
annual bills stating that if a customer anticipated difficulty in paying the bill, to call and
make payment arrangements.
9. PHARMACEUTICALS IN SOURCE AND FINISHED WATER RESULTS.
The Board received a memorandum from Chris Schultz of CDM dated June 1 2008
regarding the CDM' s sampling of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) at
the Allen Water Treatment Plant. In March, 2008 a series of reports was released in the
press regarding minute concentrations of pharmaceutical compounds found in drinking
water supplies. To date, scientists have found no evidence of adverse health effects from
the compounds in drinking water.
CDM's report showed that compounds in finished water, except acetaminophens, were
lower than source water, demonstrating that the Allen Water Treatment Plant was
effective in removing some of these compounds. The filtering process using granular
activated carbon (GAC) was found to be highly effective for removal of PPCPs in
Englewood's water.
