Also Attending:Mayor H.B.Dannels,Town Administrator Hill,
Water Superintendent Richards,Public Works
Director Widmer,Clerk O’Connor
RURAL WATER APPLICATIONS:
THUNDER MOUNTAIN ASSOCIATES,LTD.-Paul Kochevar and Dwight
Dannen were present requesting the possibility of the Town
serving water to this new development.A sketch drawing was
presented showing a proposed water main,pump and 120,000 gallon
tank.Superintendent Richards stated he had talked to Bob Kemp
(DMJM Phillips Reister),and that Mr.Kemp felt the pump would be
required to operate at night,thus eliminating a “shock”on the
system.Several concerns were stated as follows:
1.The elevation of the proposed tank is above 8,400 feet.
Two other tanks are on our system now,however,they
are both under 8,100 feet elevation.
2.One pump will not be able to push water up 1.9 miles.
Perhaps a “lift station”should be included.
3.If the Town enters into a “Special Agreement”,the
developer would pay all of the extra costs incurred.
As the land is developed,the developer’s cost would
be reduced every year.
4.This area would be on a “Closed System”.The Town
would have maintenance expenses,etc.We would have
to have access to the tank during the winter months.
5.The Glacier Creek Water Treatment Plant has an 18”
main and was built to produce three million gallons of
water per day.
The Committee recommends a presentation be made to the next
Committee meeting by our consulting engineers -DMJM Phillips
Reister advising the Town’s ability to serve water to this
development.
MASTER PLAN -URBAN GROWTH STUDY:
The Committee discussed the need to update the Master Plan -
Urban Growth Study;the existing study is now several years old.

water extension agreement for Edward Corley and J.Stephen Kroger

except the East 90 feet thereof,High Pines Subdivision.The
agreement is basically the standard agreement used by the Town
except for the following:

2.The Town shall not be liable to the developers for such
additional tap fees if the Town should inadvertently
fail to collect tap fees when approving water tap
applications,but will cooperate with the developers in
every reasonable way.
3.The Town will pay said fees collected within ten (10)
days to the developers until the developers have
received a total of $7,555.35 or ten years has expired.
The Committee recommends the Town enter into this agreement.
MUNCHIANDO CONSTRUCTION:
Water Superintendent Richards reported that due to Munchiando
Construction’s default on the Beaver Point water line installa
tion,Sterling Paving had been hired to complete the paving
project.Paving is now nearing completion.Clean-up efforts
near the old Everitt Lumber property have yet to be resolved.
FALL RIVER TREATMENT PLANT -SEDIMENT:
Superintendent Richards expressed concern regarding the type and
size of sediment incurred due to the Lawn Lake Flood.As further
action will depend upon the Light and Power Department’s decision
to rebuild Cascade Dam,the Committee recommends no further
action at this time.
REPORTS:
The Water Use Report indicated the water accounted for as 72.75%.
A substantial effort is being made to ensure all water meters and
readouts are working properly.To date,approximately 18 -20
meters have been replaced.
The Big Thompson Water Line Project will be bid after the Summer
season.The old line will be completely removed.
The Water System Mapping Project is progressing.
The peak demand of two million gallons of water was reached last
weekend.
There being no further business,the meeting adjourned.
