Green <br />721 State Centennial Building <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />RE: STEVENS LAKE ENLARGEMENT PROJECT <br />~ONTINUED AUTHORIZATION <br /> <br />Dear Board of Directors, <br /> <br />As I cannot be present for your meeting on the 22nd of this <br />month, the intent of this letter is to request continued <br />authorization for the above-mention project, which was <br />originally authorized for 51,912,000 in 1993. <br /> <br />Our original plans anticipated completion of this project by <br />now. For various and unfortunate reasons, we have experienced <br />delays. Mainly due to the drought in 1996, our attention turned <br />to a raw water line extension from the San Juan River to a new <br />water treatment plant to be located at our office .complex. <br />Following an unexpected lawsuit filed only days prior to closing <br />on a revenue bond issue, this particular project was delayed not <br />quite two years. The issue has since been settled and <br />construction commenced in 1998, with completion expected by next <br />summer. <br /> <br />With continued rapid growth in our community and expansion of <br />our service boundaries, the Stevens project remains an integral <br />part of the District's need to provide an adequate raw water <br />storage as well as a potable supply to its growing number of <br />customers. The past several years the District has continued <br />diligently working towards this project. Several thousand <br />dollars have been spent towards engineering work, which <br />continues, and aerial photography of the site is complete. <br />Acquisition of the additional land necessary for the enlargement <br />was finalized last year with a cost exceeding $243.000. <br />Monetary support from the San Juan Water Conservancy Dis~rict <br />has helped defray some of these incurred costs. We expect to <br />have the Feasibility Study completed by !'lay, 2000. Depending on <br />whether we go for a general obligation or a revenue pledge will <br />determine whether request for funds is made in 2001 or 2002. <br /> <br />100 Lyn Avenue <br />P.O.
