He noted this water tap fee is a City Manager approved fee delegated to the <br />manager to keep the fees up to date with the current price for water. This fee increase <br />was reviewed by the Utility and Finance Committees. <br />Director Kowar reviewed the City's two water supply sources: South Boulder <br />Creek/Marshall Lake (aka FRICO) and Colorado Big Thompson (CBT)/Windy Gap (WG) <br />from the Western Slope. Having water from two different basins provides redundancy. <br />Water on the market now is generally coming from former agricultural uses and Louisville <br />is in competition for new water rights with all of our surrounding neighbors. <br />City of Louisville <br />City Council 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4536 (phone) 303.335.4550 (fax) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />
