During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the upcoming rate study and its implications for the community's infrastructure and development projects. The meeting highlighted the need for a comprehensive review of the billing system, with a focus on software upgrades that have been overdue. The anticipated timeline for the rate study is set to begin in 2025, as the team prioritizes these upgrades.

Public participation was encouraged, and one resident, Lynn Siegel, voiced significant concerns regarding the impact of ongoing development projects on the community's infrastructure, particularly in relation to stormwater management and flooding. Siegel emphasized that the rapid growth driven by affluent developers and institutions, such as the University of Colorado, necessitates a reevaluation of how these projects are funded. She argued that the financial burden of increased infrastructure demands should not fall solely on residents, especially as the community faces challenges related to water scarcity in a semi-arid environment.

Siegel urged city officials to hold developers accountable for the costs associated with their projects, advocating for a more equitable approach to funding infrastructure improvements. She called for a broader perspective on the implications of population growth and resource management, stressing that proactive measures are essential to ensure sustainable development in the face of increasing demand for water and infrastructure services. The meeting underscored the critical need for collaboration between city planners, developers, and the community to address these pressing issues effectively.
