Respectfully submitted , Cathy Burrage Recording Secretary Date April 1, 2013 INITIATED BY Utilities Department COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Agenda Item Subject Southgate Supplement #169 STAFF SOURCE Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION None. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Water and Sewer Board, at their March 12, 2013 meeting, recommended Council approval of a Bill for an Ordinance approving Southgate Supplement #169. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED The City of Englewood provides sewage treatment to approximately 32 ,000 accounts outside the City through contracts with numerous connector districts. The area is defined by the natural drainage and extends south and east from Broadway to the Valley Highway and from Hampden to Lincoln Ave. excluding Highlands Ranch. By contract the City of Englewood must approve any additions of land to be served by the districts. These are usually in-fill situations that are within what the City considers to be the area it has committed to serve. Adequate capacity has been provided in the treatment plant to accommodate all such future inclusions . Annexation of this parcel of land will not increase the tap allocation of the Southgate Sanitation District. A request was made by the Southgate Sanitation District representing the owners, Howard Bellowe and Jacquelline Stern, for inclusion of Supplement #169 consisting of a parcel totaling 1.2 acres into the Southgate Sanitation District for residential use . The property is currently zoned Residential. The purpose of the inclusion is to install a sewer line and connect to the existing sewer main in the street. The legal is attached as Exhibit "A". The property is located on the north side of E. Garden Avenue , east of Colorado Blvd. FINANCIAL IMPACT None.

In order to achieve these objectives the Division has implemented various programs to regulate discharges from commercial and industrial sectors of the LIE WWTP service area. The proposed discharge from the Englewood Fire Training Facility is one such discharge . Facilities generating process wastewater in the LIE WWTP service area must manage that wastewater in accordance with City of Englewood and City of Littleton Municipal Codes . Two overall options exist for managing process wastewater. The first is managing the wastewater without a discharge to the sanitary sewer. This is known as zero discharge and is accomplished in many instances by treating and re-using the wastewater onsite. The West Metro Fire Training Center utilizes this type of system. Other means of zero discharge operation include evaporating the wastewater or hauling the wastewater off-site . In each of these instances there is no connection to the sanitary sewer system . The second option for managing process wastewater is through discharge to the sanitary sewer, in accordance with municipal codes and other applicable regulations. This requires installing a permanent connection to the sanitary sewer system along with appropriate pretreatment to comply with Division requirements . Based on the Division's understanding of the proposed plan, this would likely involve the installation of some type device to remove floatable and settleable materials from the wastewater prior to discharging to the sanitary sewer connection. Measures would also need to be put in place to minimize stormwater infiltration into the sanitary sewer through the process wastewater collection system. This may be a possibility for the Englewood Fire Training Center. However, the Division will require project plans and specifications in order to evaluate any potential discharge to the LIE WWTP. A full evaluation of requirements can be completed by the Division once plans are submitted .. • Stu Fonda From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Dear Stew: Sherry Morrison [smorrison@waterrf.org] on behalf of Rob Renner [rrenner@waterrf.org] Friday , March 08 , 2013 9 :09 AM Stu Fonda Support for Water Research Letter to Congress_CO.docx I am writing to ask for your help in ensuring that the Federal Government continues to support our research on water and wastewater. As EPA continues to aggressively regulate the water and wastewater industries , it is vitally important that those regulations be based upon sound science and cost-effective technologies that protect public health and the environment. In response to Congress's significant cuts to the EPA budget, the Water Research Foundation (WaterRF) and the Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) joined forces two years ago to defend EPA' s longstanding funding for the research we conduct. For over 20 years , Congress has directed EPA to provide federal funding for WaterRF and WERF research as a national priority . Working with our supporters on Capitol Hill and armed with subscribers' letters of support, we were able to husband a carefully defined $5 million competitive grant program for nonprofit organizations who conduct water and wastewater research of national significance through to passage in the fiscal year 2012 Omnibus Appropriations Act. This competitive program will help ensure that critical water and wastewater- related research will be conducted that matches local water and wastewater agency priorities and will help ensure that federal mandates are based on sound science. We hope to build on this success. We cannot do it without your support. Once again , we respectfully request that you prepare the attached letter to your members of Congress , urging their continued support in FY2013 and FY2014 for water and wastewater research by nonprofit foundations . Please prepare the letters on your company letterhead and fax each of them separately to your Colorado Senators and Representatives. (To identify the Representative in your district , visit www.congress.org .) In addition, we 1 requ~st that you fax a copy of the letters to Water RF at 303-730-0851. Please let me know by return email if you are willing to support this effort. We thank you for your attention to this important request. If you have any questions , please feel free to contact me for additional guidance . Sincerely , Robert C. Renner, PE , BCEE Executive Director p 303.347 .6150 rrenner@ waterrf.org Attachment This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.

For over 20 years, Congress has supported this extramural research at nonprofit water industry foundations that sponsor competitive research into source water protection, water quality, and water infrastructure. Water and wastewater-related research should remain a high priority as the nation looks at the staggering cost estimates for replacing aging water infrastructure and contaminant-removal compliance costs. My organization steadfastly supports and benefits from the respective research conducted through the Water Research Foundation (WaterRF) and the Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF). This research helps ensure that sound science governs compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act mandates, regulations, and policies. With the demise of earmarks, we worked with our supporters on Capitol Hill to develop a carefully defined competitive program for nonprofit organizations who conduct water and wastewater research of national significance. That support proved to be invaluable. The Congress passed the FY2012 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Public Law 112-74), which included the following report language within EPA's budget: Research: National Priorities. -The bill provides $5, 000, 000, which shall be used for extramural research grants to fund high-priority water quality and availability research by not-for-profit organizations who often partner with the Agency. Funds shall be awarded competitively with priority given to partners proposing research of national scope and who provide a 10 percent match, which may include in-kind contributions. The Agency is directed to allocate funds to grantees within 180 days of enactment of this Act. The program prioritizes funding for a cost-shared , competitive grant program within monies already being provided to the U.S. EPA Office of Research & Development budget. This research program ensures that critical water and wastewater-related research will continue to meet the needs identified by the local agencies charged with meeting federal mandates. As federal budgets continue to be cut, it is important that grant programs like this one be matched with real dollars instead of in-kind contributions. It is also important that the non-federal cost-share of this grant program be increased to 25 percent. Therefore , I respectfully request that the following modified report language be included in the FY2014 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Subcommittee bill: "Research National Priorities: The bill provides $5,000,000, which shall be used for extramural research grants, independent of the Star Grant program, to fund high-priority water quality and availability research by not-for-profit organizations who often partner with the Agency. Funds shall be awarded competitively with priority given to partners proposing research of national scope and who provide a 25 percent match. The agency is directed to allocate funds to grantees within 180 days of enactment of this Act. " We thank you for your attention to this matter of important national, state, and local significance.

Sincerely, From: Diane Ramey [mailto:rameyd60 @ yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday , February 26 , 2013 8:36 PM To: Webmaster Subject: Mineral content in Englewood's water I'm curious to know whether lately Englewood's water has had a higher mineral &/or lime content than usual. I've noticed that lime and mineral deposits are building up from my water a lot quicker and thicker than it used to , just in the last month or two. I filter my drinking water at the tap, but my filter doesn't remove the minerals , so I'm having the same amount of buildup from the tap and from my water filtering system. Is this any different than usual? I generally think Englewood has the best water around here, and I'm not complaining -just curious. If you have the time to answer me , that would be great. Thanks. --Diane Ramey Englewood City Center resident From: John Bock <jbock@englewoodgov.org> To: "'rameyd60@yahoo .com"' <rameyd60@yahoo .com> Cc: Webmaster <webmaster@englewoodgov .org> Sent: Wednesday, February 27 , 2013 9 :30 AM Subject: RE : Mineral content in Englewood's water Hello Diane , Thanks for taking the time to send us your question. As you have accurately observed, Englewood 's water hardness has been exceptionally high for the last several months. The reason for this is because we take our water from the South Platter River, and as the flow in the river drops the hardness goes up. So, in the spring and early summer months when the runoff from the mountains is highest, we see our lowest hardness. Then , in the fall and winter, as the river drops , our hardness goes up. Because of the extreme drought conditions (this is as low as we have ever seen the river) we are seeing the highest levels of water hardness any of us can remember. When we get more precipitation both in the mountains and downstream , we will see lower hardness levels. To get the hardness down, the Water Department has been blending softer water from other sources with the S. Platte River water. However, this has been only marginally successful. The white film on your dishes is most likely calcium chloride, the common mineral that makes up water hardness. The most practical hardness controls are those that can be practiced in the home: Add vinegar to your dishwasher with each load. A cup will do it. Stop the dishwasher when it gets to the dry cycle and towel dry the dishes. A product called Lemi Shine can also be added to remove and control the calcium buildup. A water softener can be installed and run only during the high hardness months. If you would like to discuss this with me further, feel free to contact me.

(And I was RIGHT! Cool!) Thank you for taking the time to fully explain it. That's above and beyond the call of service, and I appreciate it. I have been using vinegar to get rid of mineral buildups, but never thought of adding it to the dishwasher. I will do that from now on, as my dishes have indeed been covered with a white film. Vinegar is great stuff. I really hope and pray for more precipitation this spring and summer. Not just for better quality water, but to avoid more horrible fires.

When FOG gets into our sanitary sewer system, much like the arteries in our bodies, it can harden in the lines and cause stop- ups or sanitary sewer overflows, which may result in raw sewage running onto the ground . FOG can also cause enormous problems during the wastewater treatment process which costs our customers a lot of money. Preventing FOG from entering your drain system will also help you to avoid plumbing backups and costly sewer repair bills. Minimizing FOG is the right thing to do for you and our environment! What can YOU do to help? DO Place cooled cooking oil and poultry or meat fat into a sealed container. DO Use paper towels to wipe residual grease or oil off of dishes, pots , and pans prior to washing them . DO NOT Dump cooking oil, poultry or meat fat, and grease into the kitchen sink or toilet bowl. DO NOT Use hot water and soap to wash grease down the drain because it will cool and harden in your pipes or the sewer line . MINIMIZE the use the garbage disposal to get rid of food scraps -scrape them into the trash . Did You Know? "Biosolids" are the nutrient-rich organic materials produced during the biological and physical treatment of wastewater at the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant (LEWWTP). These materials are recycled as a fertilizer in farm programs to provide a source of crop nutrients and contribute to improve soil structure. In 2011 , over 3,000 tons of biosolids were spread on 2 , 100 acres of farmland, producing wheat with an increased protein content that can earn the farmer a higher price . You can learn more about the use of Biosolids at the LEWWTP on the web at: http ://englewoodgov.org/lndex.aspx?page= 191 L/tr~ City of Englewood Utiliti~ {t ?/(JI; 1000 Englewood Pkwy Englewood, CO 80110 p 303-762-2635 F 303-783-6894 www.englewoodgov.org WHAT TO DO WITH UNWANTED MEDICATIONS Pharmaceuticals (both prescription and over-the-counter medications) that are flushed down the toilet are not removed during ordinary wastewater treatment which allows them to pass through to the environment where they cause harm to aquatic life and may contaminate our drinking water sources . By not flushing pharmaceuticals down the toilet , you can protect both the environment and public health. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), with support from various groups , operates The Medication Take-Back Pilot Project which offers the public a secure and environmentally respons ible way to dispose of unwanted household medications . This project offers a way to clear your home of the medications you no longer need . Secure collection boxes are located at each of the following metro area locations : • King Soopers at 9551 S University Blvd . • King Soopers at 100 Founders Pkwy, Castle Rock • Denver Health at Wellington E. Webb Center for ~Care , 301 VV 61 h Ave . DeR\IQC, Tri-County Health Department at 4~1 S ~adway , Englewood Jfb /j5 ---For more information on .-i:th~e~p""'r""o""g::'!ra""'~"isit - www.coloradomedtakeback.info or contact the CDPHE at 303-692-2903. Bringing your unwanted medications to a collection site is the preferred method of disposal. If this is not possible, mix unwanted medications with kitty litter or coffee grounds to make the medicine unusable, place it in a water-tight container, and dispose of it in your household trash on the day of collection . Remember to blot out or remove your personal information from containers prior to disposal for security reasons.

A final notification will be mailed prior to the surcharge assessment. The city takes steps to ensure bills are mailed to the proper address, but it is the property owner's responsibility to notify the city of any address changes. Collection of Unpaid Charges Unpaid accounts will be sent to the county for collection . The county treasurer will enforce any delinquent amount by placing a lien on the property which is added to the property tax bill. The county will add an additional amount as its collection fee. Explanation of Charges • Sewer Charge: This charge is for sanitary sewer processing. All sewer charges are billed in advance and are based on the lowest winter water meter reading or minimum tap size charge, whichever is greater. • IBA (Interceptor Basin Agreement): This charge is for the operation and maintenance of the Big Dry Creek Interceptor. It is billed to each customer whose sewage flows into this pipe. • Sanitation: This is not a City of Englewood charge. This is an independent sanitation charge in which the City acts as a collection agency and remits the payment to the district. Please contact the district directly with any questions.

The Guidance Document outlines nine steps in the water conservation planning process. To date, CWS and the City have completed the majority of five of the nine steps per the scope of work. Initial goals were set after characterizing the City's water distribution system, customer categories and past and future water use in each of those categories. The City established an initial water savings goal of 10% over a ten-year planning period. The water savings will be from the City's final list of customer categories: Residential, Multi- Family, Commercial, Industr ial, and Municipal. Water conservation measures were then selected by the City staff through two screening processes -one with staff and one with the Water and Sewer Board. The screening included the following criteria and narrowed the universal list down to 19 measures and programs. 1. Staff and other resources 2. Financial implications 3. Political ramifications A final list of water saving measures and programs were developed to be evaluated further, shown below in Table 1. Table 1 -Final List of Measures/Programs Rank Conservation Measures and Programs 1 Billing Software Upgrades 2 Water Waste Ordinance 3 Leak Detection & Repair 4 Water Rate Study 5 Evaluation of Policies to Encourage Water Savings 6 Water Restrictions 7 Turf & Landscape Standards for New Development 8 Irrigation System Standards for New Development 9 Soil Amendment Standard for New Landscapes 1 O Website Upgrades /Public Education 11 Requiring Wind/Ra in Sensors for Commercial 12 Outdoor Residential Water Audit Kits 13 School Education Program 14 Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) 15 Distribute ET Scheduling in Water Bill 16 Irrigation System Efficiency Device Rebates 17 Metering of Non-Potable Irrigation 18 Xeriscape Classes Uointly with others) 19 Indoor Residential Water Audit Kits * Shaded cells represent existing measures. Estimated savings from this final list were taken through a cost-benefit analysis, which is approximately 90% completed. Once this analysis is completed, the water savings will be compared to the initial water savings goal, and staff will determine if those goals should be adjusted . CWS had a meeting with City staff on January 14, 2013 to discuss some assumptions related to the cost-benefit analysis so that effort can be finalized.
