City Council of the City
of Fort Collins
Fort Collins, Colorado
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the attached proposals which have been submitted to the Water
Board for recommendations. Concerning Proposal No. i the Water Board has previously
considered and recommended adoption of the proposed ordinances insofar as they relate
to water.
In regard to Proposal No. 2, the Water Board recommends that the City Attorney
be directed to draft an ordinance to require, either as a condition or annexation or otherwise,
that the subdivider (as opposed to the individual lot owner) furnish to the City either water or
money at lent at the time of subdivision. The Water Board is most concerned that as now
interpreted the present ordinance might allow a subdivider to sell lots in a subdivision within
the City and place the burden upon the individual lot owner to pay a fee or furnish water
rights in order to obtain water service. The Board feels that any person purchasing o lot
within the limits of the City of Fort Collins should be allowed to assume that the City of
Fort Collins will furnish water to his lot without further action upon his pat outside of
normal top fees.
It has been suggested by the City Attorney's office that this might be accomplished
by a rewriting of the City water ordinance and by incorporating similar language in the
annexation ordinance. We do not propose specific means to accomplish the purpose but do
recommend that if our recommendation be adopted that the new proposed ordinance or
ordinances be re -submitted to the Water Board for review prior to adoption.
Respectfully submitted,
Ward H. Fischer
President of the Water Board
