WRA would like to host three Tap <br /> Fee Workshops in the south Denver Metro area, Northern Colorado and on the West <br /> Slope. The proposed workshops would educate water utility staff, builders, developers <br /> and consultants about using tap fees as a water efficiency tool in newly constructed <br /> developments and to create dialogue between neighboring communities. WRA believes <br /> focusing on tap fees in growing communities will help improve water efficiency as the <br /> state grows in population. <br /> The total cost of the project is $37,095. WRA is committing 25% matching funds in the <br /> form of $9,400 in cash. CWCB staff has reviewed and evaluated the grant application <br /> and has determined that the proposal meets or exceeds the CWCB guidelines for <br /> reviewing grant proposals.
