Aurora to send East Cherry Creek Valley master sewer agreement and Kings Point IGA to study session
Summary
Aurora Water staff asked the Water Policy Committee to advance a draft Master Sewer Agreement with Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District and an amended Kings Point IGA to study session so the council can review the pair together.
Aurora Water staff asked the Water Policy Committee to advance a draft East Cherry Creek Valley (ECCV) Master Sewer Agreement (MSA) and an amended and restated Kings Point intergovernmental agreement to a study session and ultimately to full council for review.
"My name is James Deaver, manager of planning services here at Aurora Water," said James Deaver, who presented the items. Deaver said the MSA is intended to supersede decades of prior sewer agreements between Aurora and the Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District, clarify infrastructure ownership, standardize cost-of-service charges and create a framework for managing interconnections and capacity issues across nearly 30 interconnection points.
Deaver highlighted several key terms: Aurora will retain the right to recapture and reuse effluent generated by the district (language that Aurora attorneys reviewed), the MSA includes a cost-of-service model to align charges both ways, and exhibit F clarifies ownership of intertwined pipelines to reduce administrative confusion.
Deaver described the amended and restated Kings Point IGA (related to the Prairie Point development) as an interim arrangement allowing Aurora to use capacity in an existing 8-inch pipeline adjacent to the proposed development instead of requiring a new lift station. The Kings Point amendment is intended to be consistent with the MSA and to become exhibit A of the MSA once the MSA is finalized.
Council members asked about developer responsibilities for upsizing and about whether future sections of the Kings Point development would need a lift station. Deaver said past agreements with the developer anticipated the developer would eventually fund upsizing of the school line and that portions of Kings Point South could still require a lift station depending on local topography.
The committee supported moving both the MSA and the Kings Point IGA forward to study session for joint review and to allow staff to present the documents to council simultaneously.
