Louisville City Council Meeting <br />March 4, 2003 <br />Page 10 <br /> <br />Davidson stated the City would ask citizens to read their own water meters and monitor <br />their consumption. Temporary staff will be hired to assist senior citizens or anyone who <br />may have difficulties reading their water meters and understanding their billing cycle. <br /> <br />Keany asked if early warning on drought conditions could be given to the citizens. Phare <br />stated that routine reports would be given to the residents. <br /> <br />Keany asked about the drought rate surcharge and if water meters are read on a same day <br />every month. He voiced his concern if a meter is read a day late a resident's water <br />consumption may be over the limit. Phare stated there would have to be some adjustment <br />on routine meter reading practices. <br /> <br />Davidson requested that citizens be told when their meters are read. He asked Phare <br />when the Mayor's Executive Order runs out. Phare responded March 31. <br /> <br />Van Pelt asked Phare how the surcharge rate was determined. Phare explained the <br />surcharge rate was based on last year's consumption information for single-family <br />residential. Last summer's water consumption was approximately 12,000 gallons during <br />the drought, with restrictions in place. <br /> <br />Van Pelt asked for the average household consumption under serious drought conditions. <br />Phare stated during the average winter months the average was 5,000 gallons. <br /> <br />Keany asked if the drought is in Stage 2 Serious and progresses to Stage 3 Severe, how <br />will that effect resident who have exceeded the lower limit. Phare stated if it were in the <br />middle of irrigation period, it would be pro-rated between the two rates. <br /> <br />There was discussion about when Council would adopt the plan. Davidson stated the <br />plan can be reviewed Council and adopted on March 18, 2003. Simmons stated prior to <br />the March 18 meeting, information would be given to the citizens. Phare stated he would <br />have the information and announcements on the City's Web Page by the weekend. <br /> <br />Keany asked if there was an appeal process for the surcharge. Phare responded not at this <br />time. There was discussion relative to an appeal process for the rate surcharge and it was <br />Council's consensus that such a process would be reserved for emergencies. <br /> <br />Marsella asked Phare for the City's current drought stage. Phare estimated between Stage <br />1 and 2, or at a 1.8 level. <br /> <br />Phare asked the Executive Order be extended through April 18 and requested permission <br />to add a provision for special watering permits. He reported the following: The City <br />continues to lease water in Marshall Lake to water the golf course; Staff is reviewing <br />preliminary requirements to use reuse water at the golf course; the Colorado River is <br />currently at 90% of average; and there is as much snow pack now as at there was at the <br />end of last years' snow season. <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br /> <br />
