He displayed a <br />map showing the properties involved for the Board's information. <br />They have requested that the District absorb their company into the <br />District. We now bill them on a bulk basis. Ute has lines in the <br />adjacent areas which we can use to access this area. <br /> <br />Mr. Stockton attended an informational meeting of the property <br />owners in Golden Acres and indicated the following items to them: <br />l) we would require that all services be metered (which they are), <br />2) we would require individual meters on each residential unit, such <br />as duplexes, etc. (they indicated there are none), 3) and that we <br />would not be prepared to compensate them for their water system, <br />however, in all likelihood we would be prepared to assume their <br />company and convert them to a direct customer billing. He requested <br />Board direction. <br /> <br />There are 40 taps and the investigation by the Acting <br />Superintendent of Transmission & Distribution shows that the meters <br />now there would be acceptable. The lines are galvanized and very <br />old / and Mr. Stockton indicated to the property owners that Ute <br />would be upgrading these lines in the future for everyone's benefit. <br />At that time, we might expect them to pay for new service lines into <br />their residences. <br /> <br />During discussion, the point was made that no money is involved <br />in this transaction from either side. The consensus was to proceed <br />with absorbing the Golden Acres Water Company. <br /> <br />MONTHLY REPORTS TO THE BOARD <br /> <br />COLORADO RIVER PUMP STATION REHAB <br /> <br />The Superintendent of Treatment & Source reported that he is in <br />the process of making changes to the preliminary plans submitted by <br />Montgomery Watson Engineers (since the plans were drawn up for lS <br />MGD) and he will be returning those to the engineers soon. <br /> <br />Both he and Mr. Ohm have made an on site visit to determine <br />necessary changes. The upper intakes into the pump station will be <br />extended to prevent silting; the surge tanks will be integrated with <br />the upper and lower backwash system; and, the pumps will be <br />retrofitted using treated water for lubrication and install soft <br />starters. <br /> <br />GRAND JUNCTION LAWSUIT APPEAL DECISION <br /> <br />Counsel reported the decision from the Court of Appeals was <br />received on October 2l, 1993. He referred the Board to the letter <br />
