He left at 2:30 PM, and noted that no water was <br /> running anywhere on Tract 70 The pressure in the main trunk line had been reduced By agreement with Ben Krause <br /> Water Commissioner, Rudy has not irrigated the area since July 10th at 11:00 AM <br /> At 8:00 AM, Sunday morning(7.21.19), CDOT called Trevor Grosse to advise that water was running over the western <br /> side of the Tract 70 Plateau. The water was NOT running over the North Cliff Face. Rudy was In church and Trevor <br /> interrupted the service to notify Rudy. Rudy and Brett Fontanari got to the Plateau at approximately 10:30 AM. <br /> He found that the cap on Water Station#1 (WS#1) had been removed,allowing water to run from the upright pipe This <br /> cap is secured by various means, including the installation of horizontal screws. I do not have a photo of WS#1 but am <br /> attaching a photo of End Drain.the northern end of the trunk line. It is capped off in the same manner as WS#1. From <br /> the aerial photo sent you on 7 14.19, you will note that WS#1 does not have any lateral running from it indicating that <br /> Rudy did not intend any irrigation from that WS. <br /> A search of the area surrounding WS#1 failed to reveal the cap. Clearly the cap was not"blown off'its mounting by the <br /> pressure of water in the trunk line. Someone removed the screws; removed the cap;and took the cap with them. <br /> Rudy then went down to the CDOT crews along 1-70;saw that water had run over the western side but no rocks had been <br /> dislodged Rudy spoke with a CDOT employee and learned that CDOT had seen the water at 10:00 PM the night before <br /> (7.19.19), but failed to notify anyone until Sunday morning. Rudy agreed to meet a CDOT person at 1:00 PM, but that <br /> person never showed for the meeting. <br /> Jim <br /> James A Beckwith <br /> Attorney at Law <br /> 5460 Ward Road, Suite 120 <br /> Arvada, CO 80002 <br /> 303-883-4433 <br /> a� <br /> �, �; ►``t� 0603191710.j pg <br /> t !{1J► 3244K <br /> James Beckwith <ithamer47@gmail com> Mon,Aug 5, 2019 at 9:32 AM <br /> To: t grosse<TGrosse@juno.com> <br /> hnps mail.googlc.com/mail/u/0?ik=814645f08d&vices—pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar-I 1 4952559704305 1 1 87&simpl=msg-a%3Ar324773417528869672 12 <br />
