Pinery Water and Wastewater District Agenda Item 30d May 9,2014(Updated May 23,2014) Page 5 of 7 Borrower- Pinery Water and Wastewater District In 1965,the District was formed as the Denver Southeast Suburban Water and Sanitation District. The District has been providing water and wastewater services since 1971 to its predominately residential customers. In the early 1990's, in an effort to give some geographic reference between the name and the service area,the District began doing business as the"Pinery Water and Wastewater District". The District has qualified as a TABOR Enterprise since 1993. The District meets the requirement for a state-approved conservation plan by virtue of its participation in the cooperative Douglas County Water Conservation Plan, which combines the individual conservation plans of 15 regional water providers into a single document. Located within Douglas County and the Cherry Creek Basin, The District encompasses approximately 8,500 acres and has a total of approximately 4,287 single family equivalent taps (SFE). The District's drinking water system consists of seven alluvial and 18 Denver Basin water supply wells, seven pump stations, 10 finished water storage tanks, and over 107 miles of water distribution and transmission piping serving seven different pressure zones. The total water produced and treated for consumption in 2013 was 2,837 acre-feet. The District anticipates treating and delivering close to 2,900 acre-feet of water in 2014. Water Rights The District owns 1,220 acre-feet of tributary water rights and junior water rights on Cherry Creek. The District also owns approximately 13,430 acre-feet of non-tributary water rights in the Denver Basin aquifers. Borrower's Participation The District will participate in Parker's WISE infrastructure components including 20,300 feet of new 42-inch pipeline from near the intersection of Chambers Road and E-470 to the Parker Water Treatment Plant located just south of Rueter-Hess Reservoir. At the Parker Water Treatment Plant site a new 16.5 million gallons per day pumping station will be constructed. Downstream of the pumping station 9,000 feet of new 24-inch pipe will be constructed that will allow WISE water to be conveyed to Reuter-Hess Reservoir for storage. In addition, Pinery will construct about 6,200 feet of 12-inch pipeline to deliver water to an existing finished water distribution system pumping station. The estimated total project cost for all of the WISE Project components is $147.5M. The amount that each WISE Authority member is required to pay depends on the amount of water each WISE Authority member has committed to taking, as well as the amount of local infrastructure that must be constructed to deliver each member's WISE water. Pinery's funding is shown in Table 3.
