Denver Water's offer to lease such replacement water is <br />based upon the understanding that Sublu-ban would dewater the pit is quickly as reasonably <br />possible, and that the excavation would not be allowed to remain full for an extended period of <br />time. <br />The cost of leasing the necessary water would be based upon the 13oard's then-current charge for <br />nonpotable water outside of the Combined Service Area. For your information, the current fee <br />for such water is $159.67 per acre-feet. <br />Please let me know if any further is required. <br />Sincerely,- <br />Michael L.
