Title
Resolution Approving a Wastewater Capacity Reservation Agreement Between the Town of Castle Rock and the Silver Heights Water and Sanitation District [Silver Heights and Plum Creek Water Reclamation Authority at 4255 N. Us Highway 85 Castle Rock, CO]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The purpose of this memorandum is to seek Town Council approval of the attached resolution (see Attachment A) approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for a wastewater capacity reservation between the Town of Castle Rock (Town) and the Silver Heights Water and Sanitation District (Silver Heights). The agreement identifies the terms by which the Town will provide Silver Heights with additional wastewater treatment capacity of approximately 1,320 gallons per day (gpd) in the Plum Creek Water Reclamation Authority (PCWRA) wastewater treatment plant. The purpose of the additional capacity is to allow Grace Chapel Church and a Resident at 1161 Evalena Road to construct additions to their property located in Silver Heights. There are two key conditions to the Town providing the additional wastewater treatment capacity. First, Silver Heights will pay the Town's system development fees for the additional capacity including a 25 percent surcharge for extraterritorial service. This will result in over $41,715 in revenue to Castle Rock Water's wastewater enterprise. The second condition is for the new development to pay operation and maintenance charges on the use of Castle Rock Water’s sewer collection system.
Budget Impact
Castle Rock Water will collect $41,715 in system development fees and annual operations and maintenance revenue as part of this IGA. Over a ten-year period, this revenue is estimated to be approximately $13,000 and has the potential to provide a significant boost to future capital replacement of the sewer mains used by Silver Heights and the Town.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends Council approve the resolution approving the IGA for a wastewater capacity reservation between the Town and Silver Heights.
