The Utility Billings, Public Works, and Water Operations Departments will all need to be educated on the contents of this plan and on information it can disseminate to the general public as questions arise. The Fort Lupton City Council and the Fort Lupton Water and Sewer Advisory Committee will also act as important links in educating the general public. B. Establishing Citizen Participation With metered rates going into effect in January 1997 and quarterly notices informing water customers of high nitrate levels in the current drinking water supply, the community has a considerable interest in water-related issues in Fort Lupton. Public meetings have been held to address the upcoming changes in the water supply, as well as water rates, and additional meetings will be held during the 1996 calendar year. The Fort Lupton Water and Sewer Advisory Committee also holds monthly meetings that are open to the public. These meetings are important forums to discuss water-related issues in Fort Lupton. C.
