The Town of Frederick is requesting $15,000 to develop a <br />water conservation plan that will comply with §37 -60 -126 C.R.S. <br />The Town of Frederick is located in the South Platte River Basin where SWSI identified a gap of 22% by <br />2030. With the Town experiencing continued population growth and the majority of their water supply <br />coming from trans - basin diversions through the CBT project, the city understands the importance of <br />incorporating water conservation into their comprehensive water resources planning. <br />The City of Westminster has pledged 50% matching funds in the form of in -kind services. OWCDP staff <br />has reviewed and evaluated the grant application and has determined that the proposal meets or exceeds <br />the CWCB guidelines for reviewing grant proposals. Attached is the internal checklist used to evaluate <br />the application. <br />Recommendation <br />The OWCDP staff recommends that Jennifer Gimbel, Director of the CWCB authorize a Water <br />Efficiency Grant in the amount of $15,000 to the Town of Frederick for development of a water <br />conservation plan in accordance with §37 -60 -126 C.R.S. <br />Attachment.
