From The Englewood Herald (Tom Munds):
“Right now, McLellan Reservoir is full, plus we are expecting our normal allotment of water from the Ranch Creek system this year which will more than the amount necessary to meet the needs of our customers,” Fonda said. “I don’t see a supply problem and don’t envision any type of water restrictions this summer.” Currently, the city provides treated water to about 326 million gallons of water to it customers. Almost all the 10,000 residential and commercial customers are within the Englewood city limits…
…Englewood has more water than it can treat for customer use which makes it possible to sell about 978 million gallons a year to Highlands Ranch. “The sale of water to Highlands Ranch is a plus for our city customers,” Fonda said. “The sale brings the utility department about $1.6 million a year which we put in the general fund and keeps our water rates low. We estimate our customer’s water bills would be 20 to 25 percent higher if we didn’t have the revenue from water sales.”
