<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />__ WASTEWATER SYSTEM (Continued) <br /> <br />Clear water flows over weirs into a large baffled tank where chlorine is added to disinfect <br />the wastewater effluent. Pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria are killed in this process. <br />From there the treated wastewater effluent flows into one of two wet wells, <br /> <br />From the wet wells, the treated secondary effluent wastewater can be pumped to the golf <br />course for use as irrigation water, or through another tertiary treatment plant from which <br />treated wastewater effluent may be discharged into East Plum Creek. Effluent quality is <br />consistently well above standards required by the State in our discharge permit. <br /> <br />The existing wastewater facility has the capacity to treat 2.3 million gallons of flow per day, <br />or an additional 6,133 households before a plant expansion would be necessary. <br /> <br />The monthly rate charged for residential sanitary sewer use is a flat fee of $18,00 for a 3/4" <br />meter, and a flat fee of $30,00 for a 1" meter. <br /> <br />STREET SYSTEM <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The North Metropolitan District is responsible for construction of arterial and collector <br />streets within the development. These roadways are then dedicated to Douglas County as <br />public rights-of-way at which time the County Highway Department assumes maintenance <br />responsibilitiesforthe streets. Construction and maintenance ofthe streets within individual <br />parcels is the responsibility of the respective developers. The only street maintenance <br />provided by the District is for landscaping installed along the road rights-of-way, and for any <br />District installed signs. <br /> <br />STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM <br /> <br />The District is responsible for designing, inetalling and maintaining the storm drainage <br />system in the development. This system is comprised of swales, channels, culverts and <br />detention ponds that carry and or store storm waters and runoff through and out of the <br />community to preserve construction integrity and control erosion processes. Specific <br />drainage improvements within individual parcels are designed and installed by individual <br />developers. <br /> <br />The monthly rate charged for storm drainage usage is a flat fee of $6.00 for a 3/4" meter, <br />and $10,00 for a 1" meter. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />3 <br />
