Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />LOUISVILLE WINTER WATER REQUEST Councilmembers had a copy of Mr. Schuler's <br />DENVER WATER DEPARTMENT - letter relating to this item, a copy of <br />AUTHORIZE TO PROCEED a draft letter to Mr. Fisher and a recom- <br />mendation from Mr. Rupp for authorization <br />to proceed. The request was for the months <br />December through April for 300 acre feet <br />of. raw water and the pay back was. similiar <br />to those of last season. <br />Authorization Granted Mayor Meier moved, Councilwoman Morris <br />seconded that staff be allowed to proceed <br />on the winter water request to the Denver <br />Water Department. All in favor. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />BUILDING PERMIT MORATORIUM Mayor. Meier stated that he had been asked <br />by several people what the status of the <br />building moratorium was; also the Building <br />Department had people coming in on a daily <br />basis with single family applications in <br />the "Other" category as well as the developers. <br />After having read the numerous reports on <br />the treatment capacity of the water plant <br />since the improvements have been made, he <br />felt that Council should consider removing <br />the building permit moratorium as far as <br />this year's permits are concerned. <br />He asked Mr. Schuler to give his opinion <br />on how this would effect the present plant <br />if these permits were issued. <br />Mr. Schuler stated that they had tested <br />the water treatment plant to produce 5.8 MGD <br />All the automatic chemical equipment is <br />working fine; the plant is completely <br />automated except for the high zone pumps. <br />They are waiting for a meter on that. They <br />feel comfortable that the plant will pro- <br />duce 6 MGD; therefore he felt comfortable <br />with the addition of 820 residential taps, <br />as the storage tank could be used as a <br />buffer. Since watering restrictions have <br />been lifted the amount of water being used <br />is 2.9 MGD. As a comparison he had called <br />Denver, Longmont, and Aurora and got their <br />usage for the last 4 days and compared this <br />to Louisville's peak days of 4.8 MGD <br />
