CI'I'Y OF ENGLEWOOD Utilities Department 2018 WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Approved by the Colorado Warer Conservation Board February,2013 2 _, CHAPTER 6 -EVALUATION AND SELECTION The initial screening of the measures and programs with City staff resulted in selecting 15 measures for further evaluation. Englewood would like to evaluate many of the eliminated measures with future planning efforts. Some of the measures have been combined as noted in Table 5.1. The benefits and costs of the selected measures and programs are shown in Table 6.1. The grouping of the measures enabled us to consider like measures and avoid double counting savings . Details about the cost-benefit evaluation and information about each measure can be found in Appendix A. Costs and Water Savings of Conservation Options Prior to evaluating the potential cost effectiveness of the measures/programs, it is important to understand the magnitude of typical indoor and outdoor uses and the contribution of each to total demand. There is a wide range of use related to each indoor and outdoor measure that can affect the potential water savings and cost effectiveness accordingly. The assumptions for calculating water savings used for this analysis were on the conservative end of the ranges found in the available water conservation research to avoid overestimating savings. Many resources were used to estimate water savings including Amy Vickers Handbook of Water Use and Conservation, studies and papers from California and Arizona, local studies available from the American Water Resources Association, the Environmental Protection Agency, Western Resource Advocates, information from other Colorado municipalities, and the CWCB website. Table 6.1 provides a cost-benefit analysis for all of the measures and programs previously identified to be evaluated further. A planning horizon of ten years is used to quantify the full benefit of these measures and programs. The costs and water savings over the planning period are calculated assuming the measures/programs all start in Year One. This provides an equitable ranking of the measures, so they can be compared on an apples-to-apples basis. In reality, the measures and programs will be implemented according to the implementation schedule developed in Chapters 7 and 8. The first four columns (Columns A-D) of Table 6.1 identify the conservation measure or program and quantify the costs to the City. These costs include annual costs for materials, staff time, and one-time start up costs. The table then quantifies water savings annually and for the entire ten-year planning horizon.

The cost per 1,000 gallons saved ranges from $0.00 to $10. 70. The measures are ranked fairly evenly throughout the five categories. For the $0.00 per 1,000 gallon saved measures, we did not consider the costs to the City, as the C ity will continue these measures regardless of cost. The rankings are a result of the ratio of cost, including lost revenue, to water savings . For instance, billing software upgrades help Englewood save a fair amount of water. However, the cost relative to the water savings is high, so it ranks lower than one might expect. This is only a cost per water saved ranking. There are other factors to consider, which will be accomplished in a second screening.

The criteria used for selection are as follows : 1 . Staff Time 2. Financial implications 3. Political ramifications © Clear Water Solutions, Inc. City of Englewood 2013 Water Co nse rv ation Pla n 32 Selected Conservation Measures and Programs The second screening was accomplished by evaluating each measure/program based on the screening criteria and Englewood's overall goal for this Water Conservation Plan . As mentioned previously, further detail on the conservation measures and programs chosen in the final select ion are found in Appendix A. Even though the EMAP measure was not the highest ranked measure in the cost- benefit analysis, Englewood would like to make this program a top priority. The City would like to expand upon their current program by providing 50 to 100 meters, at no cost to the customer, as further incentive for meter replacement. The City hopes to significantly increase the meter conversion rate for their non-metered customers. In Chapter 4, conservation goals were established for eight customer categories: • Single-Family: 5% -982 AF • Multi-Family: 5% -580 AF • Commercial: 2 .5% -260 AF • Industrial: 2.5% -119 AF • Municipal: 0.5% -1.13 A F • Non-Metered Customers : 15% -2,731 AF • Unaccounted-for Losses : 8% -648 AF (of savings) The selected conservation measures/programs and associated water savings were arranged within the targeted customer categories to more easily compare the anticipated savings to t he original goals. Some of the measures contribute savings to more than one category . Table 6.3 shows the water savings for the selected measures, sub-totaled for each category. table 6.3 -Combined Water Savings of Selected Conservation Measures and Programs I Conservation Measures and Programs System Losses Billing Software Upgrades ~ecycling WTP Filter Backwash Leak Detection & Repair -- © Clear Water Solutions, Inc.

These savings were compared to the original goals set in Chapter 4. As mentioned earlier, water conservation goal setting is an iterative process; original goals are established, conservation measures are evaluated and selected based on appropriate criteria, and the resulting water savings are compared to the original goals. In this case, the resulting water savings are close to the original goals. Table 6.4 compares the anticipated water savings from the selected measures with the original goals and then adjusts the water-saving goals for this plan.

This is higher than the initial water savings goals set in Chapter 4. The Non-Metered Customer category goal was adjusted down to 14.4 percent from the in itial goal of 15 percent, to reflect the estimated savings from the selected Non-Metered Customer program. Goals for all other categories, with the exception of the Municipal category, were adjusted up from the original City goals. The adjusted goals reflect the goals believed to be obtainable by City staff. After the goals were adjusted to better reflect the expected water savings, the estimated water use reduction is 6,721 acre-feet or ten percent. Therefore, Englewood will target a reduction in its water use by ten percent over the next ten years because of implementation of this plan . © Clear Water Solutions, Inc.

(Consultant also referred to as Engineer) for consul ting services associated with the design and construction of the City's Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection System (Project) at the Allen Water Treatment Plant. This amendment includes funding for the additional design and engineering services for completion of the UV disinfection treatment component of the Allen Water Treatment Plant due to change orders and change of conditions. The scope of services of the Consultant described in Section 2 and Exhibit A of said Agreement are supplemented and amended as follows: Exhibit A, add the following new paragraphs: 1.4.23 Revised Building Department Review Process and Bid Period Extension Due to the early adoption of the 2012 IBC a new building department review process was implemented by the City staff. This resulted in a required re-submittal of the contract documents , an extension of the bidding period, and additional addenda that incorporated building department requirements into the contract documents. The extension of the bidding period was provided to resolve comments from the Building Department independent consultant C West prior to award of the project. Substantial coordination with C West was required to verify acceptable loads were not exceeded for the structural elements in the UV building. This UV disinfection project was the first large municipal project designed, reviewed and built under the new IBC 2012 building code. 1.4.24 Change of Site Conditions: Gate replacement and Gravity Bypass Coring. Gate Replacement: During construction it was determined that the primary inlet gate to the clearwell no longer was functional and it could not be removed without damaging the existing structure. In addition it was discovered that the north wall of the clearwell inlet channel was in poor condition. The internal width of the inlet channel varied five inches from the top to bottom . This in part may have lead to the inoperability of the gate. Upon r emoval of the gate it was determined that some key reinforcement of the gate support was missing that resulted in the damage to the slab when the gate was attempted to be opened. The gate replacement required additional structural design and coordination with the contr actor. Gravity Bypass Coring and Repair: COM Smith provided input on both the gravity bypass hydraulics and the coring locations as requested by Aslan Construction and the City. The initial design was for a siphoned bypass that would eliminate the required coring into the existing structures. Additional structural design and modeling was performed for pouring a scab wall and Englewood UV Amend 4 Page 1of2 5 -I repairing the core holes where the three 20" diameter concrete cores were cut into the clearwell inlet channels and the 1979 Clearwell. A significant amount of structural steel was cut during the coring and the walls needed to be reinforced before being placed back into service. 1.4.25 Perform Tracer Study of Clearwell with UV Disinfection Facility in Operation. CDM Smith will setup, monitor and report the results of a tracer study utilizing Fluoride. This tracer study will be used to determine the actual baffling factor to be used by CDPHE for calculating chlorine contact time in the clearwell. This study will be useful to plant operators for optimizing chemical dosing for virus inactivation. The analyzed results will be included in a technical memorandum to be issued to CDPHE for issuance of the baffling factor to be used in the modified Allen WTP clearwell after construction of the UV disinfection facility is completed. Total Agreement upper limit is not to exceed $868,088 without prior City authorization."

To date, approximately $100,000 has been committed to PURE, inclusive of Englewood's support. TGF' s goal through PURE is to reduce and ultimately eliminate trash, the most visible pollutant, from our rivers and streams. The funding provided by Englewood has helped PURE to move forward on a number of fronts including three days of trash survey work along three areas of the South Platte River, one of which was within the City of Englewood (see attachment). This research was conducted in conjunction with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD), the City and County of Denver (Denver) , South Suburban Recreation and Park District (South Suburban), Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), U. S . Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 (EPA) , Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU) and several private sector partners . Approximately 210 volunteers helped with the trash survey over the course of a six-month period. TGF's PURE project has witnessed the engagement of over 1,000 volunteers helping with river maintenance and enhancement efforts in 2012 , including the PURE trash survey -a significant, intense and scientific effort.

Trash in the South Platte is also the result of trash entering the River and its tributaries via storm water outlets in the River's channel. PURE discerned that tobacco products, food containers and plastic bottles are the most prevalent forms of trash polluting our Metro Denver urban waterways. UDFCD contractors removed the trash that was collected and documented on the survey days . UDFCD has been a key stakeholder with the PURE project from its inception and has a longstanding policy of utilizing contractors to remove natural debris and trash from the River on a monthly basis for flood prevention and control. Their observations, along with those of our leaders and volunteers, have allowed TGF and its partners (including the City of Englewood) to begin to identify the major sources of windblown trash. The trash surveys provided the information needed to further quantify types, amounts and locations of the problems caused by trash in the South Platte and its tributaries. Another aspect of the PURE project in 2012 was to contract with a local marketing firm to conduct a metro- wide telephone survey (see attachment) followed by two focus group engagement efforts . These efforts have been involved and detailed in determining the measureable outcomes from the survey and focus group engagement. One of the desirable outcomes of this aspect of the PURE project is to determine how to begin to change behavior related to understanding concepts such as: "Trash in my neighborhood = Trash in my River, AND "We are all downstream" "A RIVER IS MORE THAN AN AMENITY, IT IS A TREASURE" -JUSTICE OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES The Greenway Foundation is supported in part by the Scientific and Culb.Jral Facilities District as well as a gift from the Estate of Robert V. and Billie Mae Behrent. 5299 OTC Blvd , Suite 710 ·Greenwood Village CO 80111 ·Tel (303) 455-7109 ·Fax (303) 455-7234 www.greenwayfoundation.org (_ ·-7 FOUNDER Joe Shoemaker CHAIRMAN Kip Stastny VICE aiAIRMAN Bar Chadwick Brent Applebaum Jon Bridoes Lany8rod John Moran leslev Roper Paula Sandoval PeteWest EXEaJTIVE DIRECTOR Jeff Shoemaker ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR Jolon Oark ~ a-.....

Also that by disposing of trash properly, they can help reduce the amount of trash that reaches Metro Denver's waterways. PURE has three major goals for 2013: . Create and initiate an information, outreach and education plan related to the goal of reducing litter, thereby reducing watershed pollution. A great deal of resources, effort and time are required to create definite results in terms of public awareness and behavior change. . initiate discussions related to the creation of a trash-trap p i lot program along the South Platte River within the Metro Denver area. Current discussions involve TGF, UDFCD and Denver. As progress occurs, it is TGF' s/PURE' s desire to involve additional stakeholders along the River's corridor , both public and private, including the City of Englewood, in these discussions. . Further establish PURE as ongoing effort. TGF's commitment to PURE' s focus on "Creating a Trash Free South Platte River Watershed" is the latest aspect of TGF's four decade mission to maximize the environmental, recreational and economic value of our Greatest Natural Resource. On behalf of all of those involved with TGF' s PURE project, Board is initiate benefits the support from the Englewood Water & Sewer greatly appreciated. That support has helped a significant effort that promises to reap for our River for generations to come.
