<br />~ ~ <br /> <br />Mr. John Van Sciver <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />February 8, 1995 <br /> <br />towards these programs and these activities will not be compromised as a <br />result of the water well project. The Fort Lupton City Council has ~ <br />already appropriated funding for these activities and these monies will <br />not be taken away from these projects to drill new water wells. <br />Stopping system losses will obviously help extend our water supply. <br /> <br />Meter installation will not realistically be complete for at least <br />another two to three months due to difficulties we are experiencing in <br />the field with locating old service lines and adapting meter <br />installations to unusual or substandard existing conditions. A few of <br />our largest water users are included in the list of customers still to <br />be metered. From a practical standpoint, we also believe that it will <br />be at least three to four months before we begin collecting and <br />processing accurate metered data. As can be expected with any new <br />system that is started from scratch, there are "bugs" in the system that <br />need to be worked out. None of these problems are considered to be too <br />serious and all are being managed and resolved in a satisfactory manner. <br />However, the City does not want to rush meter implementation at the <br />expense of not correcting or incorrectly fixing the problems and having <br />to make modifications or other corrections during the implementation <br />phase of the meter program. The City is striving for a smooth <br />transition as we implement our new system. <br /> <br />The City is also in the midst of its leak detection and waterline <br />repair and replacement program. The City will be able to collect <br />reliable data and quantify the results of its leak correction efforts <br />once accurate metered data is available. We have identified and are <br />working on waterlines in Fort Lupton that are known to be in poor <br />condition and plan to have system losses minimized to the extent <br />practicable by the end of this year. <br /> <br />A program related to the water meter program is a public education <br />plan. The City has also made this activity a priority and we are making <br />some progress. Historically, the water customers in Fort Lupton have <br />not been metered and there is, unfortunately, a great deal of ignorance <br />among the general public concerning how much water they are using. <br />Recently we began generating metered readings for meters that are <br />installed and printing this information on consumer water bills, prior <br />to metered rates going into effect. Generally, the public reaction to <br />date has been one of surprise and disbelief, many insist that the meter <br />readings are incorrect. Residential users in particular are contesting1 <br />the idea that their metered usage could be above 1,000 gallons per <br />household per month, when in fact the average winter time household <br />consumption is currently estimated to exceed 10,000 gallons per <br />household per month. <br />
