RATES

Various rates within each district have increased effective January 1, 2009.

LAZY VALLEY TANK PROJECT

The project to replace the old 50,000 gallon tank at Lazy Valley with a new 500,000 gallon reservoir is currently underway. This site is located on Evergreen Parkway just west of Bank of the West. The new reservoir will provide greater storage capacity of water for the northern areas of the District. These include El Pinal, Tanoa, Hiwan, Wah Keeney, El Rancho, and Kittredge areas. A second phase of the project is to convert the old 50,000 storage tank into a new pump station. This new pump station will be capable of delivering water to the north it a much more efficient manner, requiring less power than the existing pump station. The goal of the project is twofold: 1. To provide improved stability of the very complex water distribution system and 2. To improve the efficiency of the distribution pumping stations in order to meet water demands as well as decrease power consumption. The Lazy Valley Project is scheduled for completion April of 2010.

EMD WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS

The project to remove the old, failed roof of the Evergreen Metro District wastewater treatment facility secondary treatment process and replace it with a new flat cover has begun. This is a very complex project requiring demolition of the existing roof structure and installation of a new flat, aluminum roof system while maintaining operation of the treatment facilities at all times. The project is scheduled for completion in late spring of 2010.
