POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support approving an addendum to Sewer Service Agreements for seven connecting sanitation districts?
BACKGROUND:
An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) audit deemed than an Addendum to the Wastewater Connector’s Agreement was necessary to provide adequate delegation of the Pretreatment Program Implementation to the Cities of Littleton and Englewood. Sanitary sewer service is provided to districts outside of the Littleton corporate boundaries through the standard Connector’s Agreement with the district owning and maintaining their sewer mains. The Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant is able to receive and treat sewage transmitted by these various districts.
The Addendum and copy of the sewer service agreements are attached for Bow Mar Water and Sanitation District, Columbine Water and Sanitation District, Grant Water and Sanitation District, Meadowbrook Fairview Metropolitan District, Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District, Roxborough Park Metropolitan District and Southwest Water and Sanitation District. Ken Caryl Water and Sanitation District will not have their addendum signed until their next board meeting on April 19 and it will be presented to council at a later date.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
In order to comply with EPA’s requirement, the Industrial Pretreatment Division proposed to EPA and the Cities of Littleton and Englewood, to develop an Industrial Pretreatment specific addendum to the wastewater connector’s agreements and sewer service agreements currently in place between individual sanitation districts and the cities. In this manner EPA’s requirement to “establish delegation for implementation of the Pretreatment Regulations” would be accomplished without re-opening the existing agreements and the addendum could then be a standard agreement for all districts.
OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:
Staff would suggest there are no other viable alternatives since the changes are in response to the EPA audit.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve an ordinance on second reading for addendums to Wastewater Connector’s Agreement and Sewer Service Agreements with connecting sanitation districts.
