So then I make a motion to approve the agenda as presented.
James:
And I'll second that.
Jana:
Can I just say all favor Paul and just all of us say, I? Yes.
Board Voting All Speak:
All in favor? Aye.
Jana:
Okay. Moving along. Item number two. Public comment period. Do we have anybody here to speak? Please join us Steve. Good to see you.
Steve Dawes Castle Pines Resident:
...... Is this on?
Deputy District Manager Rene Santin:
It's. I think we do it from here.
District Manager Nathan Travis:
The light doesn't need to be on on that one. It's either on or off.
Steve:
There's a green light that's slightly lit, but that's just reflection.
Nathan:
Eric, can you hear him over these speakers?
It's not the like. Where's the main screen?
Steve:
It says push and I’m pushing and nothing...
Nathan:
Yeah. You're up.
Steve:
Am I on?
Nathan:
Yeah. You're on.
Steve:
Okay. Thank you.
Nathan:
Whoops. Laptop room PC.
Steve:
As of the end of last year. Well, let me start by saying I wanted to thank Nathan Travis for his attachment to the direct district manager's report today, in which he attached a map and a summary of the well performance.
I found that to be very helpful. Keeping that maps going to be handy to have. So I thought it was well done. On January 26th of this year, we discussed or the board discussed the reinstallation of Wells A1, A2 and A6. After the warranty work by Layne and all three wells were waiting for startup and needed to be completed under warranty.
Reinstallation in February was completed. The wells were waiting for startup. Work on A1, A2 was completed under warranty. That remained the same in March April. As of May. The report was identical as of June 22nd. The work on A1 and A2 were performed under warranty. A2 started smoothly and is running better than it has in years. As of today, it's not running, and I was hoping that Mr. Travis could explain why that is when we get to the manager's report.
I didn't see anything in today's report specifically about, well, A2. I see that there's going to be an executive session for legal advice, and, I guess negotiations, discussion about A2. But there's nothing in the report that says what caused the failure of A2 so shortly after it started up in June. So I think public to anybody is listening.
Might want to know what the status of the error is or failure is and what's going to be done about it that doesn't involve attorney client advice or top secret negotiations. Thank you.
Jana:
Thank you. Nathan, I think you're welcome to answer. Or we can put it at the end. Whatever your preferences.
Nathan:
Yeah. No, I'm happy to respond. The short of it is, we don't know what happened to cause the failure.
So one of the next steps is going to be performing a full root cause failure analysis to get to that point. So we'll have our have our discussion for legal advice this evening. And then we're also in contact with Layne to try and make sure that we have a cohesive approach to to understand really what happened. But there's yeah.
Steve:
I know it's not supposed to be a back and forth.
Jana:
I'm okay with it. I will allow it. I'm just kidding. Start the timer. I was just kidding.
Steve:
Is there some issue about whether there was some work done poorly and that's the problem, or is there some potential claim against somebody who perform work or what?
Nathan:
Genuinely don't know. There's just no apparent explanation. So the well, like I noticed in my like you mentioned, was running fantastically. We've got a lot of controls, data that it's like online monitoring.
It was in the middle of a run cycle, had been running for a really long time without any hiccups, and it just failed on a dime.
Steve:
The latency, it's anything to do with their work or
Nathan:
We have absolutely no idea. Yeah. Thank you. Yep.
Jana:
Thank you. Nathan. Yep. With no one else to speak, we'll close item two and move on to number three.
Oh, sorry. Tera reminded me. Do we have anybody online who would like to speak? Okay. Seeing no one, I will move to number three. Consent agenda. This group of items is to be placed on a single motion. Do I have a motion?
Tera:
Yeah. I'm moved to approve the items as presented in the consent agenda.
James:
I'll second.
Board Voting All Speak:
Hearing a second, I'll go to a vote.
All in favor? I, I. Okay, excellent.
Jana:
So that precedes item number three. Moving on to item for discuss and consider Croft Court water line replacement project award.
Nathan:
Sounds good. That one is on me. Rene, if you could go to, you can use the navigation pane on the left hand side to expand it.

Board of Directors
Castle Pines North Metropolitan District
7404 Yorkshire Drive Castle Pines, CO 80108
Subject: Recommendation of Award – Croft Court Water Line Replacement - Castle Pines North Metropolitan District (District/CPNMD) KJ Project No. 2646062*00
Dear Board of Directors:
Bids for the Croft Court Water Line Replacement project were opened August 18, 2026. A total of 6 bids were received and evaluated. Diaz Construction submitted the lowest bid with a total price of $194,482.00.
We reviewed their bid package for accuracy, mathematical correctness, and compliance with the project specifications. All documentation is in order. Diaz Construction has a proven track record of successfully completing similar municipal water infrastructure projects, including the Yorkshire Water Line Replacement project in CPNMD.
Based on our evaluation, we recommend that the contract for the Croft Court Water Line Replacement be awarded to Diaz Construction in the amount of $194,482.00. The bid tabulation is attached for your review. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me.
Very truly yours,
Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, Inc.
Lisa Schwien, P.E.
Project Manager
Enclosure
Nathan:
And then pull up the engineer's recommendation. So what I have before the board tonight is a request to award a bid. This is for Croft Court, which is a water line just across the street off of Yorkshire. This one broke several months ago. It damaged the street pretty extensively. We don't really know what the condition of the substrate of the street, but we know that it's going to be a pretty large repair because of the condition of the pipe.
When we found it, it just doesn't make sense to do a repair that covers the entire street and then put that or large portions of the street and then put that back under, or put that all on top of a water line that is in really, really terrible shape. So at the time, I notified the board that I'd like to move forward with doing a small capital project this year that was not budgeted for just to repair that water line.
Kennedy Jenks did the design. We put it out to bid. We have recommended the lowest bid was Diaz Construction for $194,482. We also had a bid tabulation.

Nathan:
Yeah. Thank you. So we got actually had a pretty good turnout for the contractor. Really comfortable with the as performing this work. They also did the Yorkshire Water line replacement. So they're familiar with the city. They've already done work for us. These kind of smaller projects they've got like one crew. It's just what they what they do day in and day out.
So we're comfortable with the contractor. Happy to answer any other questions the board has or ask for a motion to approve.
Jana:
Can you go back to that Kennedy Jenks sheet real fast? The letter before. Okay. So the 194 is the base bid plus the bid alt correct. And what was the bid Alt Nathan?
Nathan
Bid alt on that one was it was like 30 ish thousand.
Jana:
But what was the what was added on in the alt.
Nathan:
It's because of the like the unknown quantity with asphalt.
Jana:
Oh okay. Okay. Well then I personally will make a motion to move to a Ward Croft Court water line replacement project to Diaz Construction in the amount of $194,482.
Tera:
And I'll second. But before we vote, can I ask a question?
Jana:
Tera I'm sorry. It's okay. So I do see that you say they have a proven track record of successfully completing similar infrastructure projects, and they're very comfortable with them. I was a little surprised at how low they were. It sounds like it's a firm fixed price bid. Unless we do engineering change orders. Correct. Okay. Because it was even way under the engineering estimate.
So I just want to give me a little bit of a pause.
Nathan:
Yeah. The Lisa talked to them to make sure that they were comfortable with their bid. They were happy with the number that they put forward. And it's a very similar situation that we had with them. The last time they won a project for the Yorkshire replacement.
They were also significantly lower than the next bid.
Jana:
And if it means anything to you, the two projects I bid this summer were well under my estimate. And so I mean, we're talking millions under and I think, wow, it's just different all of a sudden. So I think that the market is dipping back down. So I'm seeing it too on my bid openings.
Nathan:
And we're starting to have especially for these smaller contracts. I mean, we're large scale utility projects I think are just hard to come by. And so we're starting to see some pretty heavy players show up for smaller jobs that they normally wouldn't look at.
Tera:
Great. And I appreciate that perspective. That helps a lot.
Jana:
And I think it's great that we got six bids to like that just shows that we have a lot of interest.
We got a bunch of different people looking at it. So yeah, I'm seeing big differences.
James:
Yeah, I just did a real quick one from a metric standpoint of lineal feed of pipe. And given the fact that maybe this has additional work to do with filling in and repairing, do we have any metrics that tell us this is a good number based on other leaks that we've had?
You know, as far as the size of those leaks and how many feet we had to replace and what have you.
Jana:
Like a price per linear, Nathan, that you use off the cuff kind of.
Nathan:
Yeah. I don't have a number that we use off the cuff. I can go back and look at our last, the last time we did our capital forecast player, our condition assessment.
We kind of used a ballpark number for that. But that's been a few years.
James:
Yeah. Appreciate it. If you could just kind of you know, it doesn't have to be obviously now, but I think it would be good numbers to have in the back of your head as we go forward and we're going to be doing additional repairs like this, it seems, as well as whole neighborhoods and things like that.
So we should probably develop a couple simple metrics to kind of. Yeah.
Nathan:
And we do have a baseline that we've used. I'll just need to go and see what that is. But yeah, that's a good number to commit to memory okay.
Jana:
With no further questions I hear a second.
Board Voting All Speak:
So let's go to a vote. All in favor. Aye.
Jana:
I okay. Moving on to item number five quarterly, am I? Yes I'm right. Quarterly communications report.
Nathan:
So online tonight we have Breeze Quintero. Teresa, are you there?
Patrice Quintero, Sigler Communications:
I'm here. Can you hear me?
Jana:
Yes, we can, thank you Patrice. Great.
Nathan:
Yes. So, Patrice, I'll do a quick introduction. Patrice is a new ish employee with Sigler Communication. She's been stepping in, I don't know, the last couple of months now to fill a gap while Bryn is out on some leave.
So she's a member of the team and has been a pleasure to work with. And so we have her doing the presentation tonight. Are you ready to do you want to share your screen for your presentation or for the PowerPoint.

So thank you very much for having me. As Nathan said, certainly not filling any shoes, but temporarily trying to do a quarter of the work that Bryn normally does so while she's on leave. So it's a pleasure to be here tonight and address the board. In the last quarter, we've had 17 social media posts. We've done some of the ones that you would expect during the summer for irrigation project updates, garden in a box, the irrigation audits.
And then in July, we launched a Get the Tea campaign, which I'll get into a little bit earlier, but it's designed to get folks more connected to the district through text updates and through email. The three ads that are, I believe, typical for connection were also there. And then we had bill inserts, which covered a variety of things, including the campaign I think I'm about to talk about.
All right. Rene.

Patrice:
Nope. Going to talk about on the next slide. So accomplishments for 2026 summer include the campaign. We had media coverage for Drug Take Back Day, as well as a Q&A with Nathan on water conservation. The staff at the connection are always very pleasant to work with and I think, you know, they do a great job of understanding the need to share information.
So we're we're grateful for that as well. We did watering rules and conservation tips, communication obviously this summer was, you know, particularly challenging not just for Castle Pines North, but for for Colorado and across the country as utilities attempted to step up, sort of the encouragement around water conservation. So Castle Pines North followed suit in that obviously, we want to do it in a way that is appealing and yet communicates the need.
So that's through project updates, but that's also through resources that are available to residents, as well as tips and that sort of thing. So a lot of work around conservation this summer. And then let's see water and the water and wastewater projects hand out, which I have later looks like they're a little bit something got cut off there.
So I apologize for that. Go ahead Rene.

Strengthen the communications link between the District and customers
- J.D. Power & American Water Works Association
Increase sign ups
- Daupler text notifications
- Current News e-newsletter
Water outages, emergency alerts, construction impacts & district project updates
Patrice:
So Get the Tea was a campaign that launched in July. It will end at the end of August. And what it was was an opportunity to strengthen the link between the district and customers, as we have on here, J.D. power, American Waterworks Association and really just a best practice across utilities is that the more connected customers are, the better informed and the greater satisfaction they tend to have with their utility provider, whether that be water, energy, in this case, obviously water.
And so we created a maybe, maybe mini, maybe normal sized campaign to increase signups to text notifications and the current E newsletter. And that of course, it would would provide people information on water outages, emergency alerts, construction and project updates. We've actually run campaigns like these with other utilities, and they tend to be, you know, they receive a pretty good response.
We're obviously waiting to see how things go at the end of the month in August, but some early indications show that there has been some some, some good traction, which we expected. Next slide please.
Describer:
On screen. Slide 5 Connecting customers: Get the Tea
Tactics: Bill inserts, Connection ads, owned social media, community events, direct mail
Paid media component
- Reach users who do not receive a bill
- I.e. Multifamily housing
Two winners selected in September
- $50 gift card to Ziggi’s Coffee
The picture on the screen also includes a social media post from the district with a promo for a Summer Sweepstakes to win 2 $50 gift cards to Ziggi's Coffee.
Patrice:
And as part of the campaign we did bill inserts, connection ads, social media, community events. Rene and Nathan were very helpful in helping spread the word this summer when they were out and about. And we also did a direct mail postcard. Part of the strategy here to was to reach folks who don't have their name on the bill, typically, and this is usually renters and multifamily housing, where these are users of, of of the services.
But they may not always be in a direct connection with, with the utility because of how they're charged for their rent and their utilities and that sort of thing. So this just builds on that. If you are in the service area and you want to get these updates, it's very easy to sign up. You're not required to be on the bill.
As a matter of fact, most of us on our team actually get the updates as well, just so that we can see what's happening in the district. So, that was a component of it was trying to reach folks who we didn't typically think would be connected as well. And then at the end of it, the carrot or the Tea at the end of the string, we'll select two winners in September 1st eat one from the Daupler notifications and then one from the news signups.
And those folks will receive a $50 gift card to Ziggy's coffee. So that was sort of the idea behind the get the Tea. We had a lot of conversation. Maybe the board can weigh in around, get the Tea, and if all the kids understood what it meant, but we we thought it was kind of a a clever yet informative way to get people's attention.
And obviously the connection to Ziggy's coffee, where you can actually get the T was was intentional.
Tera:
No. Really nice. Patrice, I like it. That's really helpful. What a unique idea to think about connecting more with the customers. I mean, obviously if you're on, if you're on the bill or, you know, you get it, but if you're multi-level. So really connecting with those that may be missed by our direct mail pieces or whatever, that's a great idea.
And then it sounds like we will have numbers that will let us know how how that other campaign, how many people that we got to sign up, we're waiting until the campaign is over. Is that what I understand?
Patrice:
Yeah, I think loosely anecdotally, we were talking later last week that we were probably in a couple of hundred folks so far, but that's a very, like I said, anecdotal loose number.
We are waiting until the end to get that final, that final figure.
Tera:
And thanks for using a local. Business owner for the tie to getting the actual physical Tea.
Jana:
I think it's clever, so good job.
Patrice:
Oh, thanks. I'll pass it on. I mean, this was a lot of Bryn brainchild, so like the other projects that she spent so much time on, I'm just coming in on the coattails for all the credit.
No, she we we miss her a lot. But, yeah, this is a lot of Bryn's sweat and brain work, so I know you'll have the opportunity to thank her as well, but I'll share that with the team.
Nathan:
It was a it was a really good exercise. The. Sorry to step in, Patrice, but.
Patrice:
No. Please do.
Nathan:
She had mentioned the direct mail campaign is a little bit challenging to figure out, but we actually were able to identify about 700 addresses that we have inside of the district, which was a number that very much surprised me, that could be impacted by service outages or, you know, any kind of notification.
So we were able to get direct mailers sent to all of them.

On screen. Slide 6 Media Coverage
There are two articles on screen from the Caste Pines Connection. Once Called Conserving Water during the Drought and the other called, Drug Take Back Day Successes. Patrice describes.
Patrice:
Oh, sorry. I thought there was another I thought I heard a question. Great. Okay. The media coverage that I talked about in the connection, Nathan's Q&A and the drug take back success, we're going to pitch an article toward the end of the year to bring folks up to speed on the wastewater system projects and where we're at with that.
So sort of a recap and hope to have that in maybe in November of this year. We're also working on a pitch with and I don't have that on here, but with Rocky Mountain Water, it's a magazine publication and their November issue is focused on innovation and design around water. Obviously it's called Rocky Mountain Water, but innovation and design projects.
And so I'm actually going to be interviewing Rene and maybe a little bit of Nathan, and we're going to write and then pitch the article to the Rocky Mountain water around the wastewater treatment plant and all of the upgrades that that have been happening there. And so we'll do that. We have a relationship with that magazine, and we think it would be a really great fit for them so that that will be coming down the pike, hopefully.

Love it. Next slide. Thank you guys. Yeah.

Shown on the screen are a coy of two handouts called Castle Pines Water and Wastewater Projects - Investing in Our Future and Upgrades Behind the Scenes. Patrice describes.
Patrice:
This was the handout I just mentioned earlier. It's available for folks to just kind of get a behind the scenes look at what's going on. I know that the folks the team there have it available at events and folks can pick it up when they're out and about, but this just kind of points them back to the website.
We just made another update today to the timeline, so I really appreciate Nathan and the team sending over all the updates. I really impressed with how up to date it really is up to the moment with trail closures, and folks can get all the information. We just updated the timeline this afternoon, so this is just a little bit of incentive to push them over to the website.

Patrice:
This probably looks very familiar. Just ongoing lift station project communications. I just want to give a shout out to Nathan, who shared an email with me that ended up being very helpful at the larger level that he had reached out individually to a stakeholder, and I appreciate him doing that because mass communication is great, but it's it's nice to see the team in action as they help out folks with individual questions.
So it doesn't just stop at the mass level or the mid level. It's there's some real one on one work going on. And I think that makes a huge difference. But nothing nothing super earth shattering here other than we continue to go on with the work. Rene.

Patrice:
What's up next? We have the newsletter coming in late August early September.
We'll focus on the winterization and fall watering tips, and we'll get some information in there about the updates as well. In September, we'll create a report around what we found out around Get the Tea, so we'll have Tea on the Tea. I don't know if that's a thing. And then we just this last weekend, we're helping Rene and Nathan with a customer survey around water conservation programs.
And so I know that they were out there at party in the Park getting some feedback on that for you, for the board and for the staff. So we'll keep working with them on that as well. Some of these other ones, I think you've seen a couple of times the budget and rates hearings, obviously coming up, the crisis comms tabletop exercise in October.
And then of course, anything that's just ongoing or pops up or materializes when we're trying to do something else. So I think that's it. And then I'll just see if you guys have any questions or.
Jana:
Maybe this is more for Nathan, but what is the Crisis Comms tabletop?
Nathan:
Oh, it's just an exercise that we're putting together to run staff consultants through an imaginary crisis event. So it kind of.
Jana:
Not not something the public attends or.
Nathan:
No. Yeah, it's a staff exercise.
Jana:
So we're just telling the community what training that we're doing with our staff.
Kind of.
Patrice:
It's more on our sorry, Nathan. Go ahead. Do you want me to go?
Nathan:
Yeah. Go for it.
Patrice:
Oh, it's it's more on our end. So what our team is doing is we're writing the scenarios for Nathan, and I believe one of our team members will also be there to help facilitate it, but. Okay. Yeah, we're writing one on cybersecurity.
And then typical you know, they'll I think there's an operational one as well. But it's literally what it sounds like you're at you're sitting at a table and we walk through like, hey, you just got an alert that the system has gone down and they don't have a lot of the information. And then we reveal that as the hour goes on, and then it helps the team sort of understand and process how they'll coordinate and what they would do next.
It just it's just designed to get people kind of thinking about what ifs.
Jana:
Perfect. Yeah. Any other questions from you guys.
James:
When you get through with that exercise? Do we get some feedback from you guys? What worked? What didn't work? What you got.
Nathan:
We can do that.
James:
Okay, I like that I mean, I think that's useful, you know, just so we can kind of, you know, see where you think the holes are.
And if there's anything that comes out of that that we need to address or. Yeah, what we can do to facilitate this.
Nathan:
Yeah. And we'll give you guys a heads up, I imagine that we'll to the extent that we can, you know, actually pull the triggers on stuff. So we've got our crisis comms plan and we'll want to follow that.
And so that'll include like notify the board members at a certain stage. So you may we'll give you a heads up that you may get an alarming but not alarming email or something. Got it.
James:
So what's the crisis scenario or he haven't picked.
Nathan:
We won't know until they tell us.
James:
Oh it's that okay. That's neat then.
Patrice:
Yeah. We just know one of the things we wanted to really highlight and is obviously a lot of talk and a lot of places is cybersecurity.
And so one will this is I'm not giving away the secrets, but one will address cyber threats on water systems.
Jana:
Great. Any other. Any further questions? No. Okay. Hearing none. We can move. We can close item five and. Okay. Thank you. Patrice. And open item six, the finance report.

TO: Board of Directors – Castle Pines North Metropolitan District
FROM: Eric Harris, Elevated Clarity (EC)
DATE: August 24, 2026
RE: Financial Report – August 2026 Board of Directors Meeting
General Fund Activity table.
Revenues of $1,674,285 came in $82,284 below the $1,756,569 year-to-date budget. The largest driver was indirect cost revenue billed to the Water Fund, $68,641 under budget — the flip side of the Water Fund's own indirect-cost overage discussed below. Oil royalty revenues ($30,892 under budget), general property taxes ($11,558 under budget), and City of Castle Pines IGA reimbursable costs ($10,012 under budget) also ran short. These were partly offset by indirect cost revenue from the Wastewater Fund running $31,635 ahead of budget and interest earnings running $7,612 ahead of budget.
Total expenditures of $1,201,407 were $56,150 under the $1,257,557 year-to-date budget, driven by Salaries and Benefits ($71,235 under budget), Professional Services ($12,586 under), Firm Commitments ($21,034 under), and Staff Support and Operations Support ($6,205 and $8,202 under, respectively). Two items ran over budget as reported in previous months: Property & Liability Insurance, $125,755 actual against an $85,000 year-to-date budget ($40,755 over, reflecting the annual premium paid/booked in full in the first quarter), and Software Support, $85,136 actual against $50,940 budgeted ($34,196 over).
Although the change in funds available of $472,878 came in $26,134 unfavorable to the $499,012 year-to-date budget, the fund ends the period with $996,888 available against a $696,794 budget, a $300,094 favorable variance driven primarily by the favorable beginning-of-year balance ($524,010 actual versus $197,782 budgeted).
On a full-year basis, the District now projects 2026 revenues of $2,492,494 (versus a $2,556,272 adopted budget, $63,778 short) and expenditures of $2,192,130 (versus $2,306,227 budgeted, $114,097 under), netting to a projected $300,364 change in funds available for the year — $50,319 better than the $250,045 adopted budget, ending the year with projected $824,374 in fund balance, comfortably above both the $447,827 budgeted figure and the $524,010 actually on hand at the start of the year. Molly describes.
Molly Janzen, Accountant:
Good evening board I'm going to start it off by focusing on the financials and where we're at with those. And then Eric is going to talk about some of the projects we have going on and status of those. So if you look at the memo starting on page 84, the first fund that we'll focus in on is the general fund.
The table that's included in the memo mirrors the financials that are later in in the packet, except for one column. And that is the fourth column with numbers over the projected actual versus adopted budget favorable or unfavorable. So just a reminder that this is a quarterly financial report. And this is with the quarterly financial reports. We estimate where we'll be at the end of the year.
So we look at the the budget for the year and the projections and kind of see where we're at there. So having that column there with the dollar amounts and the percentages kind of gives you a perspective of how that fund is operating this year. So you can see we did start the the year with a bigger fund balance than we had in our budget.
Revenues are coming in slightly under budget $63,778 or 2.5%. Expenditures are coming in under budget as well. $114,097 or 4.9%, leading into a change, an estimated change in funds available of $50,319,, or about 20% higher than what we expected, and a higher ending funds available 84%. But largely that is because of the beginning funds in 2026 were much higher than we anticipated in the budget.
So basically, the story with the general fund is that everything is on track. As we talk about each time with the financials, the general fund is the most easy to predict the costs, even though there will be some fluctuations. And so that's why you tend to see the expenditures and the revenues really align with what we budgeted. The two expenditure line items to point out are ones that we we've talked about before and prior months, and that is the property and liability insurance which is done for the year.
It's a one time cost. That's $40,755 over what we budgeted. And then the software support line item that we're estimating while it is over budget. And that is because we had some upgrades this year as well as aligned all of the software into that line item. So in the past we had certain software like the financial system in the accounting line item, and we just felt like drawing that out of that line item and putting everything in software will help us going forward.
But in that process, there were some costs that didn't get into that budget.
And just to remind everybody, the information here is also.
Tied into the summaries that start on page 92, and then the detail that starts on page 94. So you can think of this like pulling just high level out of those reports. Then the summary pages give you a little deeper dive. And then the detail pages give you even more of a deeper dive. So that's why I'm kind of focusing on high level.
However, if you have any questions about the detail, we can look at that too. Any questions on the general fund before we move on?

Bar Graph of Billed water usage for June 2026 was 94,087,000 gallons and 248,225,000 gallons year-to-date, representing a 6.84% increase over the prior year-to-date period. It is a comparison of each month from January to June of each year from 2023 to 2026.
Molly:
The next set of paused a little longer, the next page enterprise Fund activity we built in a graph this time, just to kind of give you that perspective of displaying from year to year what the trends are with our with our water. So you can see that. You can see that.
You know, we're for June. And again this information is from June. And we know we'll have more recent information next time. But you can see the trends with the water budget. I won't focus too much on the receivables just to point out that at the end of June, the receivables amount is higher than in other months. And that's typical because the bills are more in the summer.
So your receivables go up because your bills go up.
Desciber:
On screen. Water Enterprise Fund
Revenues of $3,916,008 exceeded the $3,524,799 year-to-date budget by $391,209, led by Water Service Revenue ($1,478,445 actual vs. $1,248,656 budget through June).
Total expenditures of $6,927,021 came in $259,402 under the $7,186,423 year-to-date budget. Two items ran over budget and are worth tracking: Centennial Delivery Charges ($558,175 actual vs. $280,560 budget, $277,615 over, reflecting greater delivered water volume) and Electricity for IPP Pumping Costs ($92,335 vs. $17,126 budget, $75,209 over) — both consistent with a shift toward interconnect water delivery over well pumping this year.
Net of all activity, the change in funds available of $(3,011,013) was $650,611 better than the budgeted $(3,661,624), leaving ending funds available of $40,031,984 — $2,036,650 above the $37,995,334 budget.
On a full-year basis, the fund's projection shows revenues of $8,593,939 and expenditures of $19,390,053 for 2026, netting to a projected $(10,796,114) change in funds available — a smaller drawdown than the $(11,271,269) adopted budget, meaning the fund still expects to end the year $475,155 better than planned in the budget. Projected ending funds available of $32,246,883 would sit above the $30,385,689 budget, though well below the $43,042,997 on hand at the start of the year, consistent with this year's much larger capital program (chiefly the WTP Filter Rehabilitation Program) drawing the balance down as planned.
Molly:
Then we'll focus in on the water fund. Again, just kind of keeping it high level and looking at the summary that's in the memo. The beginning funds available one about $1.5 million, about 3.7% more than we anticipated in the budget. Revenues are coming in higher. They're coming in water revenues about $600,000 higher than what we anticipated in the budget.
Expenditures are coming in slightly higher. And just wanted to point out that the Croft Court project, that that wasn't budgeted for is accounted for in this number. So even considering that we had that unanticipated cost our expenditures are still coming in a little bit lower. Projected change in funds available about 4.2%, $475,000 higher, with an ending funds available projected at $1.8 million, or about the difference about 6.1% higher.
Any questions on the water fund?
Tera:
So where and how are we capturing in our projections? Kind of I'm not sure I understood how you guys projected right. We've had unexpected expenditures. We've had our our system is old and needs some maintenance. And so we've had some unexpected expenditures. So how and well, how are those captured and how were they included in your projections for the end of the year?
Molly:
Okay. So let's let's take a look at.
I think this look good page.

This is a budget page with details.
Molly:
So you can see what we do is we actually focus in on each line item. So each revenue and each expenditure line item, we look at where we thought we would be for the for the year and where we are. So this is mid year. And then where we think will be by the end of the year.
So you can see that in some cases.
If you look at trying to think of a good example.

Repairs and Maintenance
Molly Describes.
Molly
Repairs and maintenance, which is about three quarters of the way down that page, you can see that valve, hydrant and PV maintenance, because we are only at 184,000, or because we're at 184,000, we think we're going to go over budget there. But the next line item down, water distribution repairs, we're still holding that budget kind of high. But we think that's that's probably not going to come in quite that high because we've only spent $216,000 so far.
So we actually go through every single line item, the ones that we the unanticipated cost.

Water Non-Operating Expenditures
Croft Court Waterline Replacement is listed with no budget anticipated, but with $255,627 projected actual and $15,664 Actual through June 30, 2026 shown also as an unfavorable variance.
Molly:
So if you look at page 97, the non-operating expenditures, the fourth line item down is that Croft court expenditure. And you'll see we had no budget there. But we are including that dollar amount for that project. So that flows down into our total expenditures.
So that's how we capture it. So it's a it's a literal line by line analysis. And then it just rolls into the totals.
Tera:
That helps. And by the way I do love the summary and all those tables very very helpful okay.
Financial Director Eric Harris:
And if I can add just a few comments to that as well. Molly and I meet weekly with staff, Nathan and Rene to talk about the budget and where we're at.
And we actually, since this is through June, we're currently in August. We kind of get a little peek forward, if you will, on what's coming through the claims and the projects. And obviously you were noticed of a line break over the weekend. We're able to factor those into as timely as financials are issued, those projections into this as well.
Statutorily, this is well from a financial management perspective, this is the best case of like budget line item. And that's what we're doing. So from a financial controls policy. From a statutory perspective we look at appropriations overall. So that's why you can see we don't have to adopt a overall new budget. If the budget can absorb the Croft Court line issue if that makes sense.
Yes. And that's how crucial it is to monitor your projections so you don't exceed projections. And you can monitor those communications streams to the public in case you need to have a budget hearing within this fiscal year, if that makes sense.
Tera:
Yes. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Molly:
Any other questions on the water fund? We'll move on to the wastewater fund.
James:
Well, yeah, just a quick one. I mean, we talked about Croft Court and just for information purposes, is there any way you can do an extract and maybe just do 1 or 2 lines on how much we're actually spending on repairs, unanticipated repairs? I know we have budgetary line items for doing valves and pipe and water treatment plant, but, you know, except for the emails we get from Nathan, don't know the outcome of those, really from the dollars.
And yeah, I know what you put in the email and I get it, but I don't know what the net result of that is, whether or not we exceeded that or we're under that number that was sort of provided. Or maybe I just missed it and I didn't see it.
Molly:
So so almost like routine maintenance versus
James:
Well, you know, the concern here is just, you know, understanding and tracking how much we spend on, you know, an emergency type basis.
That's all.
Eric:
That is something we can do. We can look at invoice data included in this next month of a breakout of the particular costs that are going through. And, and the vendor will meet with you, Nathan. And we can identify what costs are associated with a break with an event, if you will, and then see what the balance is associated with R&M.
But right now, we do only have that subcategory that we have ability to track in the system.
Tera:
And help me understand where you're going with that?
James:
The repairs and just to get a sense over time, what we're spending on repairs, just, you know, and that might help us prioritize certain areas and neighborhoods to kind of understand how much we're spending in emergency basis.
That's all.
Eric:
Right. Unfortunately, within our accounting system, we can't we can only go by account in fund, if that makes sense. We can set up a different account, but really it would be just looking at if we can this repair season if you will. We'll call if there's $600,000 of repairs and we can tie that to specific events.
It will be a manual analysis, but I think it's a pretty quick analysis that we can do.
James:
That's what I'm thing is you guys just take a look at it and report a number that we spend on a, you know, an emergency type basis, of course. And again, it would be great if we, you know, and I'm making work for you guys. But it'd be nice if maybe in, you know, you district manager report at the end of the year, you just put some dots on what neighborhoods had the blowouts and the repairs and that kind of thing.
Might help us guide the future, that's all.
Tera:
Well, and that's why I'm questioning it, because it does create work on staff, and I'm questioning the value because I think the other pipe assessments and the other things like that, the the thing that was further down in your report is actually would be helpful. And in figuring out where we need to apply our resources.
Nathan:
Right. And that's what I was going to. Yeah. So with the pipeline condition assessment, that's something that I can touch base with Eric too. But we're I'm actively tracking that. So I can add it's a line to the report where it's something we're already looking at. And so when we especially when we get the deliverable and we'll talk a little bit more about later, but it'll include like a map of I think we've got like a 12 or 13 year break.
James:
It's kind of what I figured. You already had this and it was just a matter of asking.
Nathan
Yeah, we can I can roll that into the report. Pretty simple.
Eric:
Either way, we will get you the information you're requesting.
James:
Yeah okay. Appreciate it. Again, if it's more than 15 minutes, it's not what I'm. Yeah, yeah. Thank you.

Wastewater Enterprise Fund
This is a budget page with details.
Molly:
All right, we'll wrap it up. Wrap up the funds with the wastewater fund again. Beginning fund balance was higher. About $380,000 higher than what we anticipated 7.2%. Revenues are coming in higher about 3% expenditures or also coming in higher. And the change in funds available is projected to be a little bit less than we anticipated. About 3% with ending funds available about $320,000.
We have talked about this before, but one of the biggest drivers right now is the repairs and maintenance budget in the wastewater fund. So we have a conversation today. Nathan was explaining that he does anticipate those costs to go down in future years. So I don't know if you want to chime in on that or.
Nathan:
Yeah, I'm waiting for a kind of full report to to get generated and it may and they'll need an update beginning of the year.
But from a collection system standpoint. So meaning just sewer mains not talking about lift stations. We did have that much higher expense than anticipated this year. I don't want to oversell it, but we should really see those collection expenses like fall pretty hard off of a cliff. So, I mean, we've got the last evaluation that we looked at our we've changed the rating system.
So we're using a very and a lot of the industries moving this way, very simplified like good media needs work. Poor condition rating for manholes and pipe sections. Right now we're seeing at about 97% of our system is a good rating. Industry average is hanging out somewhere between 70 and 80%. So that's with the work that we've done this year.
A lot of those have some really long standing won't need to be touched again for a really long time. So we're going to be able to fall into kind of a general just maintenance pattern TV, you know, TV, actually, we don't even need it's an acoustic lead texture, but we'll just we'll evaluate the pipe condition of the manholes once a year, once a year, and we'll kind of go forward.
But I expect that number to drop significantly.
James:
And if Tera doesn't beat me to it, I personally appreciate what you guys are doing, you know, proactively and looking at stuff and, you know, the plan for the future. So thank you. Absolutely.

BALANCE SHEET - ALL FUNDS
December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026
BUDGETARY (NON-GAAP) BASIS
Molly:
All right. Just one more page I'd like to go over is the balance sheet in page 91 of the packet.
This the balance sheet of course we start with cash and we are spending the cash this year according to plan. So the capital projects that have been happening is drawing down that cash balance intentionally. And you can see the rest of the the information there, the receivables, property taxes receivable. You can see that we've received the bulk of our property taxes for the year.
We get the majority of that money the first half of the year. And and then it trickles in the rest of the year. That's why you'll see a higher ending fund balance at the end of June. But you'll see the projection for the year. It'll be lower. And then the accounts payable, you can see again our payables are right around $2 million.
That's kind of been an average number, I would say the last couple of months. And then the rest of the payables with, with the fund balances down below that. You also see reflected in the income statements of the financial statements.
Any questions on the balance sheet.
Jana:
None for me.
Eric:
Yeah okay. Great. Thank you. So the story is essentially got warmer earlier in the year. And your attribute we were projecting out to have increased revenues associated with water service revenue in the wastewater fund. The revenues are pretty easy to predict because it's based on winter usage. So that's kind of the summary on the revenue side, if you will.
And then obviously the higher R&M costs associated with that, as as noted. We did see some lower electrical usage based on either the rate forecasting that have been we've been working with Nathan on, but also the timing associated with the filter program as well. So that's factored into the project as well. A couple of updates from us just in general associated with how we're that Molly and I have been working on, we're executing on the cash management strategy with with the policy that was approved last year, including opening up the Csafe accounts.
We're working on the Inbank accounts as well. And so in in another work session or an upcoming work session will report on how that's being kind of managed in our tracking tools associated with that. But we look at what working capital on hand, obviously, the short term cash needs for the district are necessary to fund those payables.
So, you know, how do we quantify and move money around and such as a nature. So Tera, you may have seen some emails come across. So that's the activity that we are doing and executing in accordance with investment policy. As reported in last week's work session, we are live with UB4 and we've implemented that. We are looking forward to working with Susan Nagel on staff to do the billings process, which will happen on the plus four plus five workday this month for August Billings.
So everything looks great as I don't know if I went into such detail in the work session, but we get a lot of new functionality out of the system, which we're excited to use as well. So just some really neat things I can we can nerd out on that another time if you have questions. But there's some really cool, neat things that we can do with that.
So the bill will look slightly different going to the constituents but not materially different as well. We have some additional functionality that will roll out once we get a couple of months into this process within where we'll use a third party printer so we can press a button in the system. Essentially, bills will go out and it's going to save a lot of staff time as well.
Currently, staffs are printed manually here on site, ran to the printer stuff, then a couple of things like that. So we're looking forward to get get some increased efficiencies out of that system as well. Some good notes to report related to the district's accounting system. Hats off to Molly, our employee. She worked through clearing out about ten years of archival records, associated our cash management module.
But we were able to do bank reconciliations within this system, which is a good win for any accountant. So we're able to do a lot of efficiencies within the system right now, which will obviously benefit the district. So that was a huge win. And then we are working on the budget calendar as well, which we will have this time next month, have a very preliminary draft budget as well, and taking those inputs within the district as well.
And additionally, we are working with Bartle Wells on a lot of scenario analysis, scenario analysis associated with potential conservation efforts within the district. And then we're looking at multiple different ways of how to look at water budgets, rates as well. And and really backing into our revenue requirement. That's for the district as well. We've done a lot of efforts in prior years.
Last year we did this district had a huge effort to identify what the ten year cost per forecast is associated with the districts, with its capital plan and its operations, and now with the signaling of conservation efforts and from and from a water supply issue. We are looking at what makes sense as a potential recommendation for either conservation rates, looking at different, different looks at water budgets, interior allotments or irrigation allotments.
And so we expect some. This will be a multi-year process, if you will. As we look at that, it's not going to be something we recommend and it's going to be we run it through the communication team and it's a huge heads up to district. But we've had some interesting findings come out of this conversation. Actually, this is hot off the press news today.
You have around 90% of your constituents use only tier one usage. If we look at other block usage types, if water budgets were to go away, that would go to like 20%. So there's a lot of impacts associated with what that looks like. And we want to be cognizant of those features as well. So we're filtering it through staff right now.
But we'll bring it to the board. The work session established by this board and then again to a board work session. And then we'll keep that. We'll continue to communicate that as well. So again, halfway through the year with these financial statements executing on the plan that we have currently, and then it's already time to look at the 2027 budget.
So that's where we are right now today. Any final questions?
James:
Yeah. Good. You know, I asked a lot today. So you guys go ahead.
Jana:
I don't have any.
Tera:
I was just going to say again, thank you for the presentation. Thank you for reconciling ten years, a decade of statements that makes me my eyeballs roll into the back of my head.
Eric:
Well, and to clarify and to clarify, the bank account is reconciled monthly. We're just we've always done it outside of the system. And so now it's taking all these archival data sets out of the system so that we can do it within the system. I didn't mean to interject there.
Tera:
So wonderful. I was like, wow.
Nice presentation on the data, the summary of the tables, everything. Appreciate that. Of course.
James:
Yeah, I guess my question was and I think you kind of alluded to it, maybe I didn't understand, but we did the tiering structure. Like was that a month or two ago now Jana and I kind of sat down with you and we were kind of looking at usage, you know, throughout the year and then the peaks for the four months, roughly, maybe it started a little earlier this year.
But, is that going to change or are we going to meet again to kind of look at things, or are you just saying that you'd want to adjust the tearing up and down to kind of balance things better is what I thought I heard.
Eric:
We're going to bring it back to you as a as a working group established by this board before we move forward with any sort of direction, if that makes sense.
And in summary, and I would like to state how in general how the bill is calculated, we have a number of fees that have been established or rates rather that have been charged. Those are a factor of each accounts tap size, which is and it's also a factor of your water budget established and the classification as well as if it's an irrigation or single family or commercial tap as well.
So in those water budgets can fluctuate throughout the year. So multiple different, if you will, levers and factors to get to the end result of the dollar amount. But we're looking at 2021 through 2024 data right now with Bartle and Wells. But we will be bringing back to the working group which includes yourself
James:
Okay. Appreciate it. Thank you.
Of course.

Counsel reviewed the form of construction agreement together with the instructions to bidders, general and supplementary conditions, and related bid forms, and provided comments to conform the package to the District’s standard bidding documents and applicable law.
Counsel’s principal comments addressed the insurance and indemnity requirements, including extending the waiver of subrogation to the workers’ compensation coverage, requiring additional insured endorsements covering both ongoing and completed operations on a primary and non-contributory basis, and requiring delivery of certificates and endorsements before the Notice to Proceed together with thirty days’ advance notice of any cancellation or material change in coverage.
Counsel returned the revised agreement to the project engineer, who has compiled the issued-for-bid contract package for release to prospective bidders. Counsel was then presented the finalized construction contract on August 14, 2026, and returned final comments the same day. Once the District completes the bidding process and selects a contractor, the construction contract will come before the Board for review and award.
Action: None required. The construction contract will be presented to the Board for award following bid opening.
Paul:
The legal status report is on page 105 of the packet. A number of updates for you all today and I'll just run through them. The interconnect pump station surge modifications. The board did approve through the consent agenda tonight and will be coming off of the next legal status report. There are a number of protective terms within that report that were added into that contract.

On screen. MATTER: HIDDEN POINTE METRO DISTRICT INCLUSION
Status:
The Board previously approved an Inclusion Agreement with the Hidden Pointe Metropolitan District (HPMD) dated April 2, 2026, governing the inclusion of the HPMD territory into the District, and HPMD approved the same. The Board thereafter adopted Resolution No. 2026-6-2 proposing the inclusion of the Inclusion Area, which comprises Green Valley Subdivision Filing Nos. 1A and 1B and is coextensive with the boundaries of HPMD.
The Board held the noticed public meeting on June 22, 2026. No petition objecting to the inclusion was filed, and no municipality or county filed a written objection. At the conclusion of the meeting the Board finally adopted the Resolution and made its order granting the inclusion, subject to the conditions set forth in the Inclusion Agreement.
Paul:
The Hidden Point Metro District inclusion is still going smoothly. Mail ballots will be sent out on October 2nd. The last day that they'll be sent out is October 9th. So within that, we expect to receive a ballot.
Describer:
On screen. MATTER: SERVICE PLAN AMENDMENT
Status:
The intergovernmental agreements with the City of Castle Pines require CPNMD to amend its Service Plan to eliminate Park and Recreation and Stormwater services. The board approved the second amendment at its February 23, 2026 board meeting. The amendment specifically removes the District’s authority to provide, own, or maintain parks, trails, open space, and stormwater systems to reflect the property transfers to the City of Castle Pines. Additionally, it establishes a maximum operations mill levy cap of 7 mills, as required in the IGA regarding Park and Recreation services. Staff met with the Douglas County Planning Department on March 18, 2026, for a pre-application meeting to discuss the logistics and procedure of the amendment filing. The County provided the results of a referral comment review on July 22, 2026. No referral agencies objected to the service plan amendment. Counsel submitted a final, formal service plan application package to the County on August 14, 2026. The County will be sending a final schedule of hearings to confirm the service plan amendment, which shall be shared with the board when available.
Action: Nothing required at this time.
Paul:
The service plan amendment with the county to formalize the removal of the stormwater and recreation and park service the district used to provide is also going smoothly. We submitted our formal package to the county last Friday. They had good things to say about it. Today we're submitting a check. Today it's probably already there, after which they'll start setting some hearings, so I'll update the board on when those hearings take place.
It will be over the next month or two.

On scree. MATTER: AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMUNITY CENTER LEASE – IGA WITH THE CITY OF CASTLE PINES
Status: Pursuant to the Parks, Open Space and Recreational Facilities IGA, the District conveyed the Community Center Property at 7404 Yorkshire Drive to the City of Castle Pines, and the Parties concurrently entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement for the Lease of Real Property dated July 1, 2025, providing for the District’s continued use of the building for its administrative and operational functions. The City has since completed substantial renovations to the Community Center Property, and the Parties’ use of the building has changed. District staff and counsel met on July 14, 2026 to identify the revisions necessary to reflect current conditions, and counsel has prepared an Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement for the Lease of Real Property.
Paul:
And then the Amended and Restated Community Center lease. We.
The entire staff of the district, we had a little bit more back and forth that we wanted to do on this. We haven't sent this to the city yet. Anticipation as we'll be sending it within the next few days, after which the plan is to present it for final approval at the next board meeting.
And other than that, it's just inactive matters. Does anybody have any questions about any work in progress?
Jana:
I did I have a question about the hidden point. So you said expect to see a ballot. Everybody votes are hidden point only votes.
Paul:
Oh I'm sorry. Yeah. Fair correction. My apologies. The the residents of Hidden Point.
Jana:
Got it.
And that's the way I thought it would be, Paul.
So I'm just confirming.
Pual:
That's that's my misstatement I apologize I apologize for that. Yeah. So all the residents of Hidden Point will be receiving those between October 2nd nine. Thank you for that question. Any other questions on the legal status report?
Jana:
Anything else at all, Paul? That's it. Okay. Okay, great. Closing item number seven. Moving on to number eight. District manager's report. Nathan, what you got?

Re: District Manager’s Report
AGENDA ITEMS
Water Treatment Plant Update (Agenda Item A)
The planned plant tour has been delayed due to a necessary drain repair identified at the facility. The affected drain is located beneath the structural floor, making the repair more involved than initially anticipated. The tour will be rescheduled for this spring once the repair is completed and the area is ready for visitors.
Distribution System Condition Update (Agenda Item B)
The District is continuing its Distribution System Condition Assessment with Kennedy Jenks, focusing on older ductile iron waterlines and incorporating repair history, recent failures, confirmed pipe conditions, and planned replacement projects. Staff have also developed a targeted potholing plan to verify pipe material and condition- some of these planned pothole locations have been removed due to recent line breaks, eliminating the need for additional excavation. Kennedy Jenks is developing cost estimates and evaluating both phased and larger-scale replacement strategies, with final assessment results and recommendations expected in October.
Opportunities for demonstration turf partnership (Agenda Item C) Discussion by Rene Santin during board meeting.
ADDITIONAL UPDATES
Stantec Regional Water Supply Study
We are waiting on the final report, the most recent meeting was re-scheduled due to scheduling conflicts with one of the other utilities involved. Final comments from the utility providers are due September 14th. CPNMD has already submitted comments.
Conservation
The new rebates are in place and are being well utilized, though sod removal has continued to be Slower through August. We have a projected $73,612.00 remaining of our $110,000.00 conservation rebate budget. 7,212 square feet of sod has been removed under the program.
JAM Ranch Inclusion
Holdover: Jam ranch is moving forward with the formation of their own metro district. Recently filed for a zoning change with the county. CPNMD provided a letter detailing our concerns, this letter was presented to the board at the February work session.
PROJECT UPDATES (for additional information please refer to the engineering report)
Castle Pines Parkway Rehabilitation
Waterline work for the original scope has been completed. Plans and pricing has been received for the additional scope. The cost for the additional waterline work is $524,890.00 this is below the CPNMD staff estimate of $700,000. In addition our portion of the roadway work is anticipated to be $275,000 for a total additional expenditure of $799,890. The board had previously approved an expenditure of $900,000 for the expanded scope.
Lift Station Renovation Program
Scope A (Lift Stations 1, 2, & 5) The project remains on schedule. All trails are currently open, a simple schedule and status for this project has been added to the final pages of this report.
Scope B (Lift Stations 3, 4, & 7) A preliminary schedule has been set, and work is set to begin on this phase late this fall.
South Tank Rehab Capital Project
The District has agreed to all aspects of the proposed approach, and final pricing has been received and approved by Director Krell. The updated proposal totals $199,270 and includes design support, constructability and value engineering reviews, cost modeling, scheduling, project meetings, tank draining, and additional condition assessment work. The Myers Preconstruction Services Agreement has been approved by legal counsel and executed.
Interconnect Pump Station- Surge System Modifications
Bids have been received, and we are seeking approval at the August Regular Board Meeting
Filter Rehab Project Update
We officially have all 6 filters at our treatment plant up and running! Work remains on several items, including safety railing, flooring, HVAC, and control programming. The filters are performing well, with extremely low post-filter turbidity (water clarity). We look forward to hosting an open house at the facility this coming spring.
PCWRA Reuse Pond Project
Holdover: This project is well underway with completion expected this fall

Nathan:
Good evening guys. So I'll be trip me up for a second. I'm used to being in control of that screen. So I'm going to be starting on page 110, as promised. I just wanted to bring the board up to speed on the water treatment plan.
So we have delayed the treatment plant tour. We don't have a specific date for that yet, but we're going to be targeting early spring. So March ish. Main primary reason for that is that we found a drain line was compromised, just a floor drain. When we went to go TV and inspect it, we found a hole that's in deteriorating condition.
It's just a really bad shape, which sounds simple, except it's under a structural floor, so we can't just cut it open and replace the line. So Kennedy Jenks is working through and I think we switched that over to a changeover. But so it's like either it's either an RFP becoming a change order to figure out what that process is going to look like.
We're expecting about 2 to 3 weeks on design. Once we get that in place, we'll be able to go ahead and do the repair probably a month total. The bigger delays that there's going to be a concrete curing time before we're able to finish our floor coating system over the top of it.
James:
Okay, I guess maybe you would answer this one, but what's a structural floor?
Nathan:
It's a so it's in the if you guys can remember the the treatment plant, there's the main or the lower level has the high service pumps and the pipe galley. So this is actually the lid that goes across the clear well is extended to the support wall that goes down to the pipe galley. And so that entire floor is supported by various columns.
And so the entire like the actual floor surface is suspended. So it's not it's not resting on like solid ground. So we've got it before we cut it in half. We have to make sure we have a plan so that we don't separate it.
Jana:
Instead of cutting like I'm assuming you're going to saw cut repair, why not run another line altogether somewhere else.
Nathan:
We there's just it's where it sits inside the plant you're trapped in between the filter gallery and the clear. Well, there's just really no other alignment that we could hit with.
James:
Can you sleeve the pipe or put a stop
Nathan:
Too small and corroded for us to get to a sleeve, and we'd still have to cut in the floor to save it anyway.
Jana:
All right. Okay. And I assume you looked at alternatives like running it somewhere else, but still before. Yeah, we bust open a structural floor.
Nathan:
Yeah, we've got access to it at one end, kind of down in the basement. So last week we actually took that apart just to verify everything and really the whole pipes in pretty rough shape and we can't really come up with even if we pull the new pipe, we still have to cut the floor in a couple of locations.
So we'll see what Kennedy Jenks comes back with for their ultimate repair. But they're structural teams working on it. Got it. I don't know, Rene, if you have any if I explained that. All right.
Rene:
Or essentially an elevated slab. So they are very nervous about any kind of cuts into it without coming up with a plan.
Jana:
Then equally, wouldn't you be nervous about Jack hammering it?
Yeah. It's like the extra load on something like that. That
Rene:
Yeah, it would be all sock cut, but they want
Jana:
You don't have to do any of that to get it because isn't it embedded in the concrete?
Rene:
No. It's underneath. So it's elevated slab over a void form. And then the drain line goes in the dirt below the void form.
Jana:
No, I feel better about that now. Okay. Yeah.
James:
Be interested to hear how you guys make out.
Nathan:
Well, if the treatment plant splits in half an hour, email stop. We're getting responded to. You know what happened? Yeah, yeah. But we'll we'll give you guys an update. So distribution condition assessment update. So we are getting kind of in the tail end of this. We're working with Kennedy Jenks.
And so this is kind of what we touched on earlier. We're looking at the final. Final deliverable in early October. We have mapped our break history going back about 15 years or so. We've been actively updating them with the breaks that we have cost locations. So those are getting included. I did an amazing job of jinxing our system, so one of the remaining tasks that we have is physical potholes of areas to verify pipe condition.
The last break that we had was within probably five feet of the identified pothole location that I had put for that one. So we're going to try and get to the rest of them before the system finds out about them. But we've got about eight potholes that we want to do with that with throughout the system. We'll do those all kind of in one week.
We'll work with the city so we can get in. We are doing a full excavation, so there'll be 4x4 holes rather than just doing like a quick six inch like vac truck look. A couple of reasons for that. Even though it's a little bit more expensive. One, it gives us a better look at the pipe condition overall. Two
If there is, if we do happen to find a section of pipe that is properly wrapped, it's almost impossible to repair that if you damage it during hydro vac excavation, which is pretty unavoidable. So we'll get those done. And then the kind of final piece of that puzzle will be the acoustic detection that we're going to be doing as part of our tank rehab project, and that will be the main transmission line from our tanks all the way to Castle Pines Parkway and Monarch.
We did expose with the Castle Pines work, the valve installation we've been doing in the past couple of weeks. There was a couple that main 18 inch line that were always that. I'm always very nervous about the kind of if it breaks, we get a boil order, it isn't wrapped, but the condition was far better than I expected it to be.
We're seeing very, very little pipe degradation after the meeting. I've got a couple coupons or sections of pipe that I can show you guys, but it's it's actually in much better shape than we anticipated. So the acoustic detection will kind of run that out for sure. But I'm hoping that we've got another 20 or 30 years before we actually need to do a full scale replacement on that line.
Yeah. Any other questions related to the.
Jan:
Jim I have questions.
James:
Go for it.
Jana:
Okay. Just make sure you first okay. So so I'm used to a typical pothole but a 4x4. So you're cutting. Yep. Take out the pavement and then you're are you hydro ing the next layers to get to the pipe then still?
Nathan:
We'll dig down. What we'll do is we'll dig down next to it and then it'll be kind of it'll all be backhoe, but we'll dig next to the pipe and then hand dig around the pipe to expose it.
Jana:
And then how are you picking your eight spots? So if I should know that.
Nathan:
Oh, no. Yeah. You're fine. So we went through looked at. There's one area that we identified. We know the pipe is in terrible condition. There's it's kind of the largest area. There's no point in us digging it up. There are some questions about pipe condition really kind of based on install years.
So anything that was put in the ground between like 1996 and 1999 so far, when we find it, it's about 5050 and whether or not it's been properly wrapped or not. So we kind of went through those individual filings and then did two potholes in each one, one of them on a more dense service line condition, like in a cul de sac, and then one on a straight run with a lower density.
That service line density has a pretty heavy impact, especially with corrosion, which is what we're seeing the majority of our brakes on. So we just kind of picked a couple spots in each one of those filings.
Jana:
Is it ductile iron? Yep. Okay. Yeah. And and so depending on what you find in these sections, that's how you're making your decisions for the next round of maintenance.
Yes.
Nathan:
For the yeah for the full maintenance program. So we'll have we'll have a CIP with some various options. We'll either look at doing, you know, anywhere from like ten projects at $1 million each over ten years to like maybe doing this all in one. But we'll break down those kind of cost options inside of the or program options inside of the assessment.
Jana:
Okay, okay, I got it.
James:
I mean, the only thing I would say in addition to that is, you know, just and I know you guys do it. So sorry. But coordinating with the city so we can avoid needlessly digging up the road twice or what have you, or inconveniencing people.
Nathan:
Yeah, yeah. We've been talking with Jason Rowe, who's been managing their kind of side street projects to try and sneak in in areas where the city hasn't done the over mill and overlay yet.
And then we'll also we've also been in conversation with them, letting them know once we get this kind of like final assessment, we're going to sit down with them, look at their roadway renovation project, see what we need to move around. I think there's going to be some unavoidable unfortunate conflict with stuff that's already been done, but I don't think there's any streets that have been more than like like a mill, an overlay or a touch up.
I don't think they've done any full replacements on what we're going to get into, but we'll figure all that out once we have the condition assessment completed.
James:
And one more question. It seems to be fiber going in everywhere. Does that impact you guys? Are you guys talking to those folks as well. And I don't know how they do.
The streets are all paint marked with different. You know, they're basically mapping where lines are in the road and stuff like that. I don't know if those guys have been obviously, I think that's at a different physical level than what you're is high. I thought, yeah, but so I'm just talking about tearing up roads or what, what the plan is for them.
If they're going to slice through the road or excavate underneath like Hydrus.
Nathan:
Yeah. The vast majority of the fiber optic work is going to be put in via underground directional bore. And then they put their hand holds out of anywhere that they can out of existing concrete and asphalt. I have had a couple of conversations with Larry Nimmo, the public works director, about some of that fiber optic work that's going in.
We didn't really identify any direct conflicts with the water line. We did have issues with the alignments on Castle Pines Parkway and Monarch. The existing water lines were buried under all kinds of fiber optic cable and electric and gas. We resolved that by moving the water line out into the right of way. So the existing stuff we got out of the way of in the city is keeping us notified of the new stuff that's planned to go in.
James:
Okay. Yeah, it yeah, it was just kind of, you know, people are asking a lot of questions and stuff. You know, I walk my dog a lot, as you know. So I get grabbed on the street. Everybody's like, do you know what that is? You know.
Jana:
So and then for the patch back just real fast on the pavement.
Do we have requirements of if it's 4x4, do you have to do a full lane. So it's not in the wheel path, anything like that.
Nathan:
This now the city doesn't have we'll pass those we do to, to ensure that we don't get into compaction problems we use for and we do it for our line breaks too.
But we'll be using flash fill to go back up. Okay. And then from the for the actual asphalt repair, we'll do the asphalt repair with the milled six inch ledge. And then we'll we infrared all of those.
Jana:
Perfect. Love it. Thank you. Yeah okay. No more questions on that for me.
Nathan:
Sounds good. Well, for C tonight, I give you Rene.
Describer:
On screen. A satellite photo of the Bramble Ridge division of home. On the left side of the photo Monarch Blvd run from the top of the photo to the bottom, adjacent on the right side of the photo is the Village Club Pool labeled prominently, and above it is Bramblewood Dr. and above it is Buffalo Trail.
Rene:
All right. So we met with two entities, the Bramble Bridge, Bramble Ridge HOA and Buffalo Ridge Elementary, regarding a demonstration garden where we could showcase Tahoma 31 dog tuff and some xeriscape. Do a comparison between the water usage between these types of grasses. So the potential location at the Bramble Ridge HOA is a park behind their clubhouse. So this is off a Monarch and Bramble Ridge, and this is more zoomed in.
We didn't like this location because it's not really readily accessible. You would have to park at their pool parking lot and then walk around their building to get to this area, which was identified as the optimal location. If a project were to go here. The highlighted area is about 3000 square foot, so that would give about a thousand for each of the three types of grasses.
Describer:
On screen. A satellite photo of a neighborhood centered around the elementary school described by Rene as being at the intersection of Shoreham and Monarch Blvd. Rene describes further.
Rene:
And then we met with the principal at Buffalo Ridge Elementary and as well as a parent volunteer, and that's Shoreham and Monarch. And they added another mobile and a shed, and they added an outdoor classroom. So those are those outlines here. But this is the outdoor classroom.
Which is a gazebo like structure. And they intend to, you know, hold classes there whenever the weather is favorable. And then these three areas represent about 500ft² of each type of grass. And then xeriscape can fill in as needed. So just wanted to give the board an update and taking the questions and see if.
We'll be putting, you know, something in the budget, I believe, so that we can do a project with one of the two entities.
Tera:
So what what was your recommendation?
Rene:
Oh, well, the recommendation is to do at a Buffalo Ridge, you know, centrally located in the community. You know, there's always going to be kids. You could the principal was excited to actually bring in the kids and teach them about conservation through this outdoor outdoor classroom, you know, show them the types of grasses.
We would have three separate meters. And since the sizes are identical, you could see cumulatively how much water each grass use. Each grass utilizes.
Jana:
Rene, what is the street that's running left and right?
Rene:
That's Shoreham Drive.
Jana:
And then what's the up and down on then? This is north up on this?
Rene:
North is Yeah. Yeah. Top of the page should be due north.
Jana:
So then the entrance of the school. So thank you. I need the, the the entrance. It's on the corner.
Rene:
This is the main entrance to the school. Okay. This is the walker door. This is the car loop, and it goes out here. Okay.
Rene:
And then so the playground. That's what I wanted to see. Where's the kids playground.
Rene:
So this is the blacktop. Perfect. Okay. Yeah. There's a new turf field over here. Okay.
Rene:
I think it's great.
Tera:
Yeah. I never even thought about that built in educational piece that they can build a program around it at the school.
James:
That's good.
Nathan:
So they'll still be a little bit of coordination to do with the school district. Obviously. I don't know if there's any kind of like IGA that will be need to be put in place are kind of our initial thoughts is that the district would be able to pay for the installation, the meters. We obviously have good, good public access, get all of that set up and then hopefully, like as Rene likes to say, the dream would be that like a lot of the maintenance is then done, like through like students training programs and stuff like that.
Tera:
And I would say, yes, please, let's do some kind of IGA, because there was a community garden there and there were parents who had kids there, and I think got pretty well maintained as long as the kids were there. But somehow I think it faded out. So with the if we put some kind of just agreement around it and says, you know, how they can exit it if they get to a point and they don't want to keep it up?
I don't know if that's a short term program, but we we need to clear as kind and we need to make sure it's, you know, clear.
James:
A question. How many? I mean, is this like a multi-year thing or a single year? It can't be a really a single year. You gotta I'm just wondering what the plan is.
Rene:
So I think we would try and hire an architectural landscape architect firm to design some of the space, and then installation would go in March.
Dog tuff is installed via plug, so it would take about a year to for it to be grown out. The other ones would be sod and that would be relatively quick installed.
Nathan:
Then as terms in terms of like how long it's there, as absolutely long as we can get it there. I would love to have that thing installed and maintained for the next 20 or 30 years.
Just kind of a running example. And I think that one of the things like the long grid exists, the more powerful it becomes too, because you're going to get like that running meter total between those three grasses is only going to get.
James:
I mean, you could share it with other districts too.
I mean, there's no reason we should just own this if it helps other people, I think.
Nathan:
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
Cool. Great. Any other questions on my report for the evening?
Jana:
No hearing? None. Anything else then, Nathan?
Nathan:
No, that's all I've got.
Jana:
Okay, then we can close item number eight and move on to item number nine, operations and engineering report.

Collection and Distribution Projects – Projects in Progress:
Lift Station Upgrades
Plan set A – Lift Stations 1, 2, and 5. T Lowell has installed the overflow vaults, and the associated manhole and piping, at LS1. They have installed gravity sewer from LS1 to LS2, and the 10” force main near LS2. Trail access is currently being restored near LS2. The new backup generator has been set in-place at the LS1 site. T Lowell has installed the overflow vaults at LS5, and a new manhole on the gravity sewer main to use for bypass pumping. They also installed a new water service at LS5. The Gorman Rupp pump skids for LS1 and LS5 were delivered and are being stored per manufacturer’s recommendations.
Plan set B – Lift Stations 3, 4, 6, and 7. GSE continues to send material submittals and RFIs for review by KJ.
CP Tank Site Water Line Relocations – Garney completed the relocation of all three CPNMD water lines at the tank site (20” potable, 24” potable, and 8” raw water). All pipes have been filled, tested, and tie-ins are complete. We requested record drawings from Garney and CP Village.
Nathan:
If the board has any questions on these reports, I am happy to answer them. Otherwise we can keep trucking.
Jana:
I had no no further questions.
