Re: Rex Bums' Proposed Development
Dear Mike:
,6,61(Li
I am writing to you regarding the issue of water service to Rex Burns' proposed
development located southwest of the intersection of Overland Trial and Drake
Road.
As I have discussed with you previously, most of Mr. Bums' proposed
development is located above the 5200 elevation and therefore can not be served
by the City's existing water distribution system. Constructing new pumping and
storage facilities to accommodate only a small number of building sites is probably
not economically feasible. The lower cost on-line pumping options proposed by
Mr. Burns' consultant are not acceptable to the City because of the operation and
maintenance problems and costs associated with such facilities. It appears that
since the District can provide service above the 5200 elevation, a more appropriate
solution for Mr. Bums to pursue would be to request water service from the
District. We have suggested to him that he should pursue this potential option and
he has indicated that he would do so.
If the District Board decides to accommodate Mr. Burns' request, the City would
be willing to modify the present service area description, which is included in the
Intergovernmental Agreement between the City and the District, to reflect that the
Bums' development would be served by the District.

In summary, it appears that, with regard to water service, customers in Mr. Burns'
proposed development would be best served by the District.
If you have any questions or if you or your Board would like to meet with City
representatives to discuss this issue in more detail, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
Michael B. Smith
Water & Wastewater Director
