Douglas County Water Commission approves June minutes; commission notes corrected will‑serve letter on Bloom preliminary plan
Summary
At its July 28 meeting the Douglas County Water Commission approved minutes from June 23 and discussed four referral items, including a corrected will‑serve letter for the Bloom preliminary plan showing an updated per‑SFE demand figure.
The Douglas County Water Commission convened a regular meeting July 28 and approved the minutes from its June 23 meeting by voice vote. Commissioner Roger Hudson moved to approve the minutes; Jim Morris seconded. Commissioners present voted "aye" and there were no nays or abstentions, the chair said.
During the agenda—s referral items, commissioner Don Langley raised a correction to a will‑serve letter for the Bloom preliminary plan. Langley said the letter from Parker Water showed a presumptive demand of 0.7 acre‑feet per single‑family equivalent (SFE), while the county standard in current use is 1.1 acre‑feet per SFE; Langley said he had contacted Parker Water and that a corrected letter has been issued to the developer.
Commissioner Clark Hamillman described the Bloom and Highlands Ranch plan referrals as examples of mid‑sized developments where developers are coordinating with existing water providers (Parker Water and Pinery Water and Sanitation District) and rolling those developments into long‑term provider plans rather than relying on new private wells. The commission recorded four items on the agenda for possible consideration and indicated no further immediate action on those referrals.
Ending
Staff and commissioners expected to proceed to the Highlands Ranch presentation later in the meeting and to receive an updated schedule for the county—s water master plan draft later in the session.
