For thcse reasons the r~orthern Co lOt-ado l)O;IICS tic ~Iater Authur i ty <br /> <br />(NCDlIII) has been proposed. <br /> <br />TilE NCl1:.f,~--\m^T IT IS <br /> <br />The NClJi-lf\ \~ould cnnsist of a collective g"oup of independent llIunicip,11itics <br /> <br />and qua, i -lIIun i c i pa 1 agenc i es, I',ho, through contractuJ 1 agreem('nt sanctioned by <br /> <br />legislation, would bind thelllselves into a single operating entity. The NCDflA <br /> <br />would be responsible only for the treatment and delh'e,'y of high quality <br /> <br />domestic water to each participating agency. Each of the participants would <br /> <br />continue to 01"111, operate and control its own domestic water system. The NCDWA <br /> <br />would be governed and controlled by the participants in accordance with <br /> <br />Colol'ado law recently enacted to allow creation of such an Authot'ity. There <br /> <br />are Ill"ilcrous advantilges to be del'ived from the format ion of the proposed <br /> <br />Authority. Amvng these are the following: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />The I!CmlA I"Ivuld control through a single centl'al system the <br />treatment Bnri delivery of safe hi~h quality water.
