Respectfully submitted, Cathy Burrage Record i ng Secretary c T y 0 F ENGLEWOOD MEMORANDUM TO: Water and Sewer Board FROM : Tom Brennan, Director of Utilities DATE : January 26, 2016 RE: Dragons Den Service Cutoff The week of October 19, 2015 the City of Englewood Utilities Department was contacted by the Sanctuary Christian Fellowship Church regarding clear water coming out the embankment on the north side of the Dragons Den building . After investigation it was determined that the source of the water was the water service line serv ing the property. The owners were informed of this as well as their responsibility to repair the leak pursuant to Municipal Code 12-1A-8B: "Commercial Service Lines . The City shall not be responsible for the repair or replacement of services lines to commercial properties, or properties with combined residential and commercial use where these lines are a part of the customer's system as defined in this title ." This Cherry Hills Village property is not a resident and therefore does not qualify for the City to perform the repairs . On the weekend of October 24th Utilities personnel were called to the site after the owner excavated into the embankment to determine the location of the leak. The work was stopped when they realized they were digging in State Right-of-Way and the leak was not located. Utility personnel were approached by the owners who stated that it was the City's responsibility to repair the service line because it was zoned residential. This is a commercial property leased to an AA Chapter for profit. The following weeks the church obtained bids from contractors to perform the repairs and the City was working with them to move this repair forward. On October 30, 2015 the City received a letter from an attorney representing the church stating that they would take legal action against the City if the City did not repair the service line. At this point I dec ided that the church was not showing good faith to resolve this violation of code and therefore I d irected Utility staff to disconnect the service to stop the leak. The attached letter is requesting a hardship consideration from the Water and Sewer Board. As a policy the Utilities Department works with all our customers regarding water and sewer service issues. The fact that if took approximately ten weeks to complete the repairs I am not recommending waiving the charges incurred by the City . I recommend accepting a payment plan to cover the cost of the work performed by the City. 1000 Englewood Parkway Englewood, Colorado 80110 Phone 303-762 -26 3 5 www.englewoodgov.org 3600 S. Clarkson St. Englewood, CO 80113 January 7, 2016 Jennifer Erickson City of Englewood Utilities Department 1000 Englewood Parkway Englewood, CO 80113 RE: Invoice dated November 18, 2015 Water line repair at 900 E. Jefferson Ave. Dragon's Den Water Service Dear Ms. Erickson: We are in receipt of an invoice from the City in the amount of $3,712.69, the payment for which was due on December 21, 2015. As your Department is well aware, a water leak began to appear from the north slope of our property just south of U.S. Hwy 285 in the mi d dle of October of 2015. The leak appeared to be discharging from the slope in the vicinity of the water line that serviced the building on our property utilized by the AA Chapter known as the Dragon's Den. The Dragon's Den has been providing its valuable services to the community for over 30 years. Sanctuary Christian Fellowship purchased the 6-acre property with the Church Building and the Dragon's Den building, located at the corner of Clarkson and U.S. 285 in late August of 2014, from the Episcopal Diocese. We immediately began renovation of the Church Building in the fall of 2014 and discovered the presence of asbestos, which caused us to incur an abatement cost of approximately $30,000 in excess of our planned renovation budget. In June of 2015, the heavy rain on the night of the 11th resulted in the levies at Kent Country Day School overflowing, leading to the filling of the ponds at the Cherry Hills Country Club, followed by the flow of the excess water into the floodway located in the middle of our property. While we were aware that a portion of our property was designated as a floodway, when we talked with our neighbors we were told that no one had seen water in the floodway for over 40 years. The water flooded the lower level of our church building causing both property damage and loss of the value of contents, the total cost of which is expected to exceed $70,000, including an additional $14,000 for additional asbestos abatement. When the water leak began to impact the Dragon's Den in October, we thought the leak might be coming from a source other than our water service line. We believed this to be the case because the water pressure in the Dragon's Den was Ms. Jennifer Erickson January 7, 2016 Page 2 the same as it was before the leak. For reasons unknown to us or anyone else we consulted, no curb stop had been installed in the water service line to the Dragon's Den. We finally insisted that the City shut off the water to the Dragon's Den at the corporation stop located in the north (west -b ound) lane of Jefferson (Hampden Bypass). When this was done, it did stop the water leak. Only then did we know that it was our responsibility to incur the cost to solve the problem of restoring water service to the Dragon's Den. We engaged the services of a Civil Engineer, and discussed our options with people in your department who proved to be very helpful. It was accordingly decided that the best solution involved relocating our tap in Clarkson, rather than attempting to re-establish the tap in the north lane of Jefferson. We solicited bids for the street cut, backfill, installation of a curb stop, installation of a water meter located on our property at a new location off of the l" tap in Clarkson, plus a 400 foot run of 1.5" copper pipe (to reduce the friction loss over that distance), and a tie-in to the existing l" service pipe which enters the Dragon's Den at its lower level. The costs for the restoration of water service to the Dragon's Den will approach $25,000. All of this history has been necessary to set the stage for our request that the City of Englewood Utilities Department consider our situation to be a hardship that may warrant some consideration on your part. Our first request would be to ask if there is any way that your department, in light of the foregoing, would consider waiving the cost to shut off the water at the corporation stop, in the amount of the November 18, 2015 invoice, $3,712.69 . We know that this might require City Council approval. Our second request would be to ask if there is any way that your department would consider splitting the cost of the invoice. Likewise, we understand that the City Council may have to approve this. Our third request would be to ask for a payment schedule over a period of 37 months, which would allow us to pay a nominal amount per month over the next three years. We would also consider any other options which your department might propose. Regardless of the outcome, we want to thank your department for helping us restore service to the Dragon's Den on Christmas Eve. This was a welcome gift to their chapter and their mission. Ms. Jennifer Erickson January 7, 2016 Page 3 Thank you for your consideration of this letter and the requested options cited above. Should you have any questions , please contact me at 303-981-6100. Very truly yours, Sanctuary Christian Fellowship Robert H. Pratt Facilities Manager Cc: John Bock Tom Brennan Church That Flooded In The Spring Has More Problems With Water November 2, 2015 8 : 12 PM Filed Under: City of Englewood, City of Englewood Utilities Department, Clarkson Street, Dragons Den, Englewood, Hannah Sagehorn, Highway 285, Sanctuary Christian Fellowship, Tom Brennan , Water L ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) -One westbound lane of Highway 285 just east of Clarkson Street will be closed Tuesday to dig down and shut off a water line that won't stop leaking in Cherry Hills Village. Discussions of a fix have been going on for weeks between the City of Englewood Utilities Department and Sanctuary Christian Fellowship church, but no deal has been made to pay for or fix the waterline under the highway. "The service line in question is inside a larger pipe which is directing the water away from the street section," said Tom Brennan, the Englewood Director of Utilities. There's no danger of a sink hole to the highway. CBS4 's Jeff Todd talks wit h church spokeswoma n Hannah Sagehorn (cred it · CBS ) "There's a lot of water pouring out, there's a lot of water and mud everywhere. The Dragons Den is getting the brunt of the damage right now," said Hannah Sagehorn. The church has seen water damage recently. In June the bottom floor of the sanctuary flooded after weeks of rain. The congregation was even forced outside for one Sunday service. The area of their property that's affected by the water line leak is near a community meeting space called the Dragon's Den. "I think that is a concern. We have a team of guys working right now with the City of Englewood," Sagehorn said. But the city says they've not seen the work come fast enough. Water and mud from the leaking pipe (credit: CBSi "This property is responsible for their service line, they're responsible to repair it if it leaks from the main all the way to their structure. We had thought they were moving forward with repairs . We were contacted by an attorney on Friday that basically stated they're not moving forward," said Brennan. Some people CBS4 spoke with said the city should be responsible because the property is not a commercial space but a residential one . The city disagrees saying it services a commercial area. "Now that we 're at a stalemate, tomorrow we're going to excavate it at the main and shut it off so they won't have water service after tomorrow," said Brennan. "They're in violation of three parts of the code ." Brennan says the property owner hasn't repaired the leak, the piping in question is not up to code, and there's no accessible cu rb stop which property owners are responsible for . Sagehorn didn't have specifics on the church's plans to move forward with any type of fix. Jeff Todd joined the CBS4 team in 2011 covering the Western Slope in the Mountain Newsroom. Since 2015 he's been working across the Front Range in the Denver Headquarters. Follow him on Twitter@CBS4Jeff.

Colorado 80112. Having lived in this house since 1976 I have never missed paying any bills taxes etc. Upon retiring in 2001 I made it a point to have all bills Exel Energy, Willows Water, phone, house payment taken directly from my checking account as I travel year around. If my memory serves me correctly the Sewer bill could not be set up that way at the time. Regardless I was able to pay the bill on time when notified the following ten years. I was stunned when checking on my taxes for this year I was being billed for my sewer bill with the taxes and also found that I was actuall y 2 years behind . Holly , my mail person aware of my travels always notifies me of any bill such as the sewer by phone so I can mail a check from wherever I am as with my H.O.A bill at Homestead etc. Why this oversight took place may fall into a bill sent, not received but I wou ld like to now set this bill up for automatic withdrawal from my checking as it now is possible . I apologize for this error. I wo uld appreciate that the penalties be waived under the circumstances and with automatic withdrawal program it can't/wont happed again. Please let me know how we go from here in regard to refunds or credits and I know John Bach is sending me the necessary paperwork to complete the yearly bank transfer.Thank You Ted Tormey 720-999-7295.

RECOMMENDED ACTION Recommend Council approval of the policy to waive the additional sewer connection fees that would result from a larger water serv ice tap to meet the Cherry Hills Village municipal code for a residential fire suppression system. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED Cherry Hills Village requires a residential fire sprinkler system in new construction over 2,500 sq. ft. With this requirement, a larger domestic water service connection may be necessary to meet the Municipal Code. Cherry Hills Village Sanitation District's existing policy is to waive the additional sewage tap charges for the purpose of increasing the water tap for a fire sprinkler system . The Englewood Water and Sewer Board, at their February 9, 2016 meeting, recommended approval of also waiving the additional sewer connection fees for outside sanitation district customers to accommodate fire sprinkler systems. FINANCIAL IMPACT Englewood's annual sewer treatment charges for outside City residential customers is not based on the size of the water meter, but exclusively on winter time water consumption or the minimum billing, which is based on customer class. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Memo dated January 25, 2016 to Englewood Water & Sewer Board A Tl. '-I MEMORANDUM To: Englewood Water and Sewer Board From : Tom Brennan, Director of Utilities T~"B Date: January 25, 2016 Subject: Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems . Cherry Hills Village is requiring the installation of fire sprinkler systems in all new residential construction . When a fire sprinkler system is required it can necessitate a larger domestic water service connection than would normally have been needed. Englewood 's sanitary sewer connection fees are based on the size of the domestic water meter. Cherry Hills Village Sanitation District has elected to waive the additional sewer connection fees attributable to the larger water meter size. Englewood's annual sewage treatment charge for outside City residential customers is not based on the size of the water meter, but exclusively on winter time water consumption or a minimum based on the account's residential classification . Because Englewood does not charge its customers for fire suppression/protection, staff makes the following recommendation: • That the City waive the additional sewer connection fee attributable to the requirement of a larger water service line and meter to accommodate a fire sprinkler system . c T y 0 F ENGLEWOOD MEMORANDUM TO: Water and Sewer Board FROM: Tom Brennan, Director of Utilities DATE: January 27, 2016 RE: Service Line Replacement Policy At the Water and Sewer Board meeting on November 10, 2015 Municipal Code changes were proposed by staff. The Board tabled the motion pending further information regarding the proposal limiting the Service Line Replacement Policy to only properties that the owner is the full-time resident. The proposal was initiated by the recent upsurge in real estate development, one in five service line replacements have been for developers . The Board discussed the program and agreed that it is a good program that benefits Englewood citizens and that it should be continued . Current code clearly defines residential and commercial service lines. Upon further consideration staff proposes no changes to the current Service Line Replacement Policy and will continue to replace all residential service lines regardless of ownership status . The program will be consistently implemented as the billing system has a field which identifies the service type as residential or commercial.
