RURAL WATER APPLICATION:
JENSEN —Mr.and Mrs.James Jensen requested water service for
their property (Lot 9,Bellevue Heights).The property does not
have access to the water main and in order to give water service to
the property,a 3/4 inch service line would need to be installed
across the Holding property.Mr.Holding has no objection to
this service line being installed.The Committee recommends Town
Water service be permitted using the 3/4 inch service line as
long as no other property can hook up to this line.
AMEND SECTION “13.24.130 Mains —Extension and Repair”:
Town Administrator Dale Hill explained to the Committee that the
(A)”items referred to in this section of the Municipal Code
have been completed and they no longer apply.He is therefore
suggesting that this be deleted from the Code.Mr.Hill also
suggested that the Code be amended by adding a reference to “the
customer’s deeding any water line extension to the Town before
service is connected”and a provision be added “to disconnect
service if the deed is not received”.A simple one page agreement
could be added to the Code as “Exhibit A”.The Committee recommends
these amendments be approved and that Attorney Greg White make
the necessary corrections.
EAGLE CLIFF ROAD:
The Committee discussed the current situation at Eagle Cliff Road.
Presently the water main is not adequately covered with dirt and
Water Superintendent McCracken asked the Committee if the water
department should bring in fill dirt and add 18 inches to cover
the line or should they bleed the pipe?Town Administrator Hill
and Water Superintendent McCracken will be checking the Town’s
liability in this situation as well as the cost comparisons of
covering the pipe as opposed to bleeding it.They will be reporting
back to the Committee at the next meeting.
1983 BUDGET:
The 1983 budget was reviewed by the Committee.
REPORTS:
A letter from the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District
dated August 30,1982,was presented to the Committee.CWCD is
requesting sale of Windy Gap water when it is available.Mayor
Tregent suggested that the people who have expressed interest
in buying Windy Gap water make an offer.The Committee recommended
that Town Administrator Dale Hill send a letter to those parties
interested in buying Windy Gap water and have them make an offer
to the Town.All but 400 acre feet of this water would be for
sale.The Committee will be investigating several options in
selling the Windy Gap water.

Town Administrator Dale Hill reviewed the list of 1982 Water
Department capital projects and Water Superintendent McCracken
reported on their progress.
Water Superintendent McCracken reported on the progress made from
the flood damage.
The water use report from July 14 through August 13 reflects the
July 15,1982,flood and is therefore not an accurate account
of water use during this period.The figures are:August 1982
water use showed a -12.91%decrease from July 1982 and a -2.35%
decrease from August 1981.
The Committee reviewed a letter sent by Town Attorney Gregory
White to Richard W.Ball,Attorney for Frank Normali,regarding
the Town’s position in collecting the overdue water bill of
$14,575.
There being no further business,the meeting adjourned.
