developing a dependable water system. This would be used as a back up water system only. We would make sure that the water line would be put in to comply with city standards. We do request that the city charge us the in city rate for water tap and water supply. Howard stated even though there exists 14 homes there is no guarantee that you will not grow. Burroughs stated that Grace Mar Subdivision has an agreement with the State of Colorado that we are only licensed to have 14 taps in our water district, so we can't have more homes. Phare stated the request is for a 1" water tap. It would be tapped off a 6" main and then it would be feed into their existing tank. There would be one meter at the end of the main extension that would flow into their tank. Davidson asked what would happen if the well went permanently dry. Would we be obligated to provide them with water through this 1" line? Phare replies yes, if we sell them a 1" tap regardless of the rate we are obligated to service them. The usage will be read on a monthly basis. Howard said he does not have a problem with the concept of being a good neighbor, the concept between being a good neighbor at the expense of the city is a problem. If I were to agree to this at all they would have to be charged the out of city rate. Mayor Fauson stated he would have to look at the fact that they would not be using this all year, but a few months out of the year. Hornbostel asked if the city would have any control over their water quality? Phare stated the concept would be to separate their water supply from ours. We would be responsible once it goes into a tank, from there they would pump it out to their system. There would be a back flow device on the system, this would help their water from getting into our system. 10
