The Ken-Caryl Ranch Water and sanitation District is, by
contract, a master meter distributer for the Denver Board of
Water Commissioners. Treated water is supplied by the Denver
Water Department in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Water Service Agreement (Master Meter), Contract No. 221,
dated December 21, 1993.

In the District's best judgement, conservation's contribution to
the District is in regards to operational efficiency, with the
benefit being less pumping. The District can particularly
benefit by reducing peak demand which maximizes the capacity. of
existing facilities and reduces pumping, costs.

Conservation is not implemented for conservation's sake, but as
part of a long-term strategy for providing reliable drinking
water supplies.

Conservation helps stretch limited public funds. Conservation
efforts can alter the timing and sizing of new water system
facilities, including transmission and distribution facilities.
In other words, conservation can save not only water resources
but also financial resources used to support the cost of water
delivery.

In 1989 the District Board discussed at great length a water rate
policy. It was concluded that using a mill levy to partially
fund O&M and G&A expense is a hidden tax and is counter-
productive to water conservation. The District has since
utilized water and sewer rates, adjusted as required, to fund O&M
and G&A expenses; utilized water and sewer tap fees to fund
capital improvements; utilized a mill levy (property tax) to pay
interest and principal on bonded debt.
