Public Comment:
• Kathy Joyner: Thanks to board for past support on South Boulder Creek mitigation project.
The board has been a significant part of how we’ve come this far today, and we appreciate your
concern. So many living downstream, where the floodwaters overtopped US 36 in 2013, are
grateful for the board’s support. We understand that in the coming weeks and months, staff will
be presenting several conceptual flood mitigation alternatives for consideration. All concepts
will have met a set of baseline criteria not the least of which, and of most interest to us, is the
prevention of flood waters overtopping US 36, while also taking into consideration
environmental concerns. We appreciate your support in getting this project completed as soon
as possible. Please keep we, the “down-streamers,” in mind as so many continue to live in
harm’s way.
• Laura Tyler: South Boulder Creek action group. Here to compliment and support what her
neighbor Kathy said. Thanks to the board for past support. The 2013 flood was devastating in
their neighborhood. When the flood waters overtop US 36, it is life threatening to the residents

in this neighborhood. (Presented a photo to the board of several feet of water on a local street in
the 2013 flood). This project is very important.
At this point in the meeting (6:14 p.m.), the board made the decision to move the discussion of the
South Boulder Creek Mitigation Project updates forward from Agenda 9 – Matters from Staff.
This was to accommodate the interest of members of the public who attended for this issue.
Regular agenda was resumed with Agenda 6 – Capital Improvements Program, at 7:02 p.m. The
remainder of Matters from Staff was addressed in its scheduled order on the agenda.
Agenda Item 6 – Information Item – Capital Improvements Program [7:02 p.m.]
Ken Baird, Kevin Clark, Steve Buckbee, Pieter Beyer, Chris Douville and Joe Taddeucci presented this
item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As part of the city’s annual budget process, Utilities develops a six-year planning budget, this year for
the time period of 2019 through 2024. The Water Resources Advisory Board (WRAB) role in this
process is defined in the Boulder Revised Code: “. . . to review all environmental assessments and
capital improvements conducted or proposed by the utilities division.” Within the budget process, City
Council approves and appropriates funds only for the first year, 2019.
This agenda item provides an opportunity for the WRAB to understand and discuss the CIP process.
Last year’s CIP is included for reference as Attachment A. WRAB will be asked to make a
recommendation to City Council regarding the 2019-2024 CIP and associated rate increases at its June
meeting. The Planning Board will review the complete city CIP, including utilities, in July. City
Council generally plans for two study sessions in September, prior to adopting the 2019 budget in
October.
WRAB Board Discussion Included:
• Questions regarding how Boulder fees relate to the size and complexity of its infrastructure and
how this compares to other communities along the Front Range.
• Questions regarding Barker outlet gate rehabilitation.
• Questions regarding the purpose of the Phosphorous Removal program. Whether it is motivated
by regulatory concerns, community benefit, etc.
• Questions about the technologies used for storm and flood sewer rehabilitation.
• Questions around where changes are shown in the materials presented to the board.
• Questions about changes in pipeline, syphon and penstock rehabilitation scheduling.
• Questions about where Carter Lake Pipeline appears in the CIP program and where it is in the
project process.
• Question about Albion Reservoir rehabilitation in 2015 and 2017 and how it relates to the
rehabilitation project being moved further out.
• Questions about the rate increase projections. How this compares to the General Fund condition,
and whether pushback on the utility rate increases from council is expected.
• Questions about the cost of emergency repairs, as opposed to cost of normal rehabilitation.
Agenda Item 7 – Information Item – Water Supply Update [8:14 p.m.]
Joe Taddeucci presented this item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This memo provides an update on 2018 water supply conditions and the city’s drought stage
determination procedures as set forth in the Drought Plan (Attachment A).
WRAB Board Discussion Included:
• Questions about whether the “good” water status of the northern part of the state could augment
the lower levels in the southern part of the state later in the year.
WRAB Minutes
4/16/2018
Page No. 3
• Suggestion for updating the Drought Plan. This seems like a good year to get low pressure public
input and update the plan.
• Suggestion to work water sharing into the Drought Plan during the next update.
• Questions about how the information on water supply will be disseminated to the public in May.
Agenda Item 8 – Matters from the Board [8:36 p.m.]
• Rose: Request for elaboration on the direction of the South Boulder Creek Flood Mitigation
Plan: when the meetings are, and how materials will be released beforehand. Recommends
more opportunities for large community meetings in addition to the small group meetings.
Recommendations to be very clear what the goal is in all public meetings. What are the
tradeoffs?
• Smith: Suggestions for a way, such as a clicker system, to let people see how the small group
meeting votes go.
• Vincent: Felt that at the open house and meeting in March, there was not a good chance for
the WRAB to have adequate conversation and input on the Twomile and Upper Goose Creek
flood mitigation items. Twomile is an alluvial plain all the way through. Suggestions for two
smaller channels instead of one to deal with downstream branching that is natural to alluvial
plains. Expressed support for the concept of using roads as potential flood channels.
• Vincent: Greenways Advisory Committee meeting is coming up this summer. He is happy to
go as the WRAB’s representative but wants to check to see if anyone else on the WRAB
would like to attend. He would like to recognize Annie Noble at that meeting for organizing
the formation of the GAC.
• Vincent: Went to the Water Now Alliance meeting and will talk about it at a later date.
Agenda Item 9 – Matters from Staff
• South Boulder Creek Flood Mitigation: [6:14 p.m.]
Current variants for South Boulder Creek Flood mitigation were presented. Handouts for
draft evaluation criteria were distributed. Next steps in public process concerning the variants
and evaluation criteria were discussed. Board input was received.
o Board Discussion Included:
Questions regarding specifics around the 72-hour retention limit.
Feedback that the “worst, better, best” evaluation method feels subjective. There
may be ways to make it less so.
Questions on the “perceived level of importance” and it’s function within the
evaluation system.
Concerns about the “perceived level of importance” criteria, based on who tends
to participate in public process and when. Concerns that this might produce a
result that does not actually reflect community perspective, or the best result for
the community.
Questions regarding how the open house for April 23 is being advertised.
Related concerns that the advertising provide a large and broad enough
participant base to allow for accurate representation of the position of the
broader community, rather than small, limited, or special interest perspective.
Questions regarding how much and in what ways CU has been in the loop in the
process to date and will be kept in the loop going forward.
Questions about the format of the first open house.
Questions regarding reasons behind the pacing/length of the preliminary design
phase.
Concerns regarding whether the initial evaluation phase is long enough to draw
in an adequate representation of the community and take their input into
account.
Request to make sure that when public outreach events, like open houses, are
done, that the WRAB gets updated.

CITY OF BOULDER
WATER RESOURCES ADVISORY BOARD
AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: May 21, 2018
AGENDA TITLE: Information Item - Draft Proposed 2019 Utilities Budget (Water,
Wastewater and Stormwater/ Flood Management) including the 6-year Capital Improvement
Program (CIP)
PRESENTERS:
Jeff Arthur, Director of Public Works for Utilities
Douglas Sullivan, Utilities Principal Engineer
Ken Baird, Utilities Financial Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As part of the city’s annual budget process, Utilities develops a six-year planning budget, this
year for the time period of 2019 through 2024. The Water Resources Advisory Board (WRAB)
role in this process is defined in the Boulder Revised Code: “. . . to review all environmental
assessments and capital improvements conducted or proposed by the utilities division.” Utilities
staff has formulated initial revenue and expenditure projections for each of the three utility funds
through the year 2024. Within the budget process, City Council approves and appropriates funds
only for the first year, 2019.
WRAB will be asked to make a recommendation to City Council regarding the 2019-2024 CIP at
its June meeting. The Planning Board will review the complete city CIP, including utilities, in
July. City Council will discuss the CIP in August at a study session, and the overall budget is
scheduled to be adopted by City Council in October.
This packet contains the draft proposed 2019 Utilities Budget and 2019-2024 Utilities CIP. The
fund financials (Attachment A) have been updated to reflect actual revenues and expenditures
for 2017, and the revised budget for 2018. At this point 2017 financial information is unaudited
and may have some adjustments as fiscal year 2017 is closed out. The operating budget is in its
early stages of development so related revisions are also anticipated. The draft proposed CIP
spreadsheets for Water, Wastewater and Stormwater/Flood Management are included in
Attachment B.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Based on updates to the CIP and updated Fund Financials, staff is recommending revenue
increases funded by rates of $2.1 million in the Water Fund, $1.1 million in Wastewater, and
$600,000 in Stormwater/Flood Management. To achieve these revenue increases, the billed rate
increases are estimated to be 7% in the Water Fund, 5% in the Wastewater Fund, and 5% in
Stormwater/Flood Management. These were the anticipated rate increases for 2019 based on the
six-year CIP presented through the 2018 budget process.
WRAB 5/21/18 2
BOARD AND PUBLIC FEEDBACK:
A public hearing and recommendation is scheduled for the June WRAB meeting. At the June
meeting, staff will request that the WRAB provide a final recommendation to City Council
regarding the proposed 2019-2024 CIP and associated rates changes.
BACKGROUND and ANALYSIS:
The preliminary draft 2019 budget provided with this memorandum reflects the following billed
revenue increases: 7% Water, 5% Wastewater, and 5% Stormwater/Flood Management. The
following table summarizes the 2018 adopted increase and preliminary projections for 2019-
2020.
Table 1 – Proposed Rate Increases
2018 2019 2020 2021
Water 8% 7% 7% 7%
Wastewater 5% 5% 5% 5%
Stormwater/Flood Management 7% 5% 5% 5%
Billed revenue increases are evaluated annually as part of the budget process to ensure that
projected revenues match proposed expenditures. The expenses the utility incurs, ranging from
electric bills to the cost of pipe, generally increase due to inflation. Another important factor
considered in evaluating rate increases is the amount of infrastructure at or beyond the end of its
useful life. Some of the infrastructure in the utilities is over 100 years old. Replacing aging
infrastructure before it fails avoids impacts to the public and is more cost effective.
The impact of a 1% increase in revenue varies across the three funds:
Water $290,000
Wastewater $210,000
Stormwater / Flood Mgmt $115,000
Single Family Residential Customer Bill Impact
Taking all these adjustments into account, the proposed preliminary 2019 revenue increases
would increase a typical residential customer’s monthly utility bill by $5.34 or an increase of
$64.11 annually. Additional information about cost comparisons will be provided as part of the
staff presentation.

Stormwater/ Flood Mgmt $15.61 $16.39 $0.78
Total $86.02 $91.36 $5.03
ANTICIPATED REVENUE BONDS:
The current 2019-2024 utility fund financials reflect several bond issuances (and associated debt
payments) to fund the following capital projects. Utility revenue bonds are typically issued for a
20-year repayment. As a point of reference, $100,000 provides for debt service coverage on a
bond of approximately $1,000,000.
Water:
1. Barker Dam Outlet and Albion Dam Repair ($19 million in 2022) to fund aging dam
infrastructure
Wastewater:
1. Interceptor Sewer Realignment ($10 million in 2019) to fund replacement sewer
2. WWTF Biogas Project ($4 million in 2019) to replace co-generation system
3. Arapahoe Trunk Sewer ($13 million in 2022) to fund replacement sewer
4. WWTF Phosphorus Improvements ($18 million in 2022) to fund WWTF regulatory
compliance upgrades.
Stormwater and Flood Management:
1. South Boulder Creek Improvements Phase 1 project ($30 million in 2020) to fund
improvements designed to mitigate flood hazards in the South Boulder Creek West
Valley area.
2. Upper Goose Creek Stormwater and Flood Projects ($24 million in 2023) to fund
improvements to both the stormwater and flood drainageway systems in Upper Goose
Creek.
The following table summarizes the debt obligations of the utilities, the year the debt is retired
and the average annual debt payment. Items shown in italics are projects that are anticipated to
be funded by issuing bonds. The decision to debt finance versus cash finance capital projects is
generally determined by the total project cost and the timeline for completing the improvements.
A major improvement project at a treatment facility would generally be very difficult to cash
finance without a significant rate increase and is more practical to pay for over a 20-year period.
Improvements to the distribution system (water pipes) are on an annual replacement program
where cash funding is more cost effective. Planning for issuing debt for projects includes
consideration of maintaining coverage ratios as required by bond covenants and maintaining
strong bond ratings to keep interest costs low. It is also important to not use up all bonding

capacity within the utilities since new needs can develop from regulatory requirements or updates
to asset condition.

The utility continues to maintain a high credit rating, most recently Aa1 from Moody’s and AAA
from Standard and Poor’s. The recent ratings report for the 2018 Water and Sewer Bonds stated
this is due in part to “strong fiscal management” and maintaining sufficient reserves.
Highlights of the 2019-2024 CIP
Water Utility
The Water Utility CIP will address a combination of source water and treated water needs
focusing on the rehabilitation and replacement of existing assets. The source water system is
comprised of numerous reservoirs, dams, gravity and pressure pipelines, and hydroelectric
facilities that deliver water to the city’s two water treatment plants. The treated water system is
comprised of two water treatment plants, six storage tanks, 460 miles of water main, and four
hydroelectric facilities.
WRAB 5/21/18 5
Much of the source water system infrastructure is approaching the end of its useful life. Water
Fund capital investment over the next decade will focus on the Barker Gravity system which is
100+ years old. Utilities staff is recommending funding the complete replacement of this system
over a 12-year period. This accelerated schedule (previously 15 years) is intended to minimize
the water supply risk associated with the Barker Gravity system which provides approximately
one third of the city’s total water supply. This work will involve replacement of the Barker
Gravity pipeline including its seven siphons, and the Boulder Canyon penstock. Major
improvements to the Barker Dam outlet works ($10M) and Albion Dam ($11M) are scheduled
for 2022.
There are several components of the treated water system that will continue to receive
improvements in the upcoming years. The Betasso WTP Improvements project began in 2016
and will continue through early 2019. The Devils Thumb storage tank ($1.5M) is scheduled for
rehabilitation in 2022. The treated waterline replacement program continues to replace
approximately four miles (1% of the system) of waterline annually at a cost of approximately
$3.5M. Lastly, Utilities staff will begin an assessment of the treated water transmission system
(14-inch pipe and larger) in the upcoming years to evaluate the needs of that system.
Wastewater Utility
The Wastewater Utility CIP will address a combination of wastewater collection system and
wastewater treatment needs focusing on the rehabilitation and replacement of existing assets.
Utilities staff will continue with the annual wastewater collection system condition assessment
and rehabilitation programs that address the city’s aging infrastructure. Utilities staff will also
begin design and construction of several of the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan’s
(WWCSMP) high priority (Tier 1) projects to address the system’s hydraulic limitations. Two of
the four Tier 1 projects (Goose Creek Trunk sewer and the Foothills & Baseline Trunk sewer)
were funded in last year’s CIP. The other two Tier 1 projects are funded in the 6-year CIP.
These projects include the Interceptor Sewer Realignment project (2019 - $20M), and the
Arapahoe Trunk Sewer project (2022 - $13M).
There are several projects identified for the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) in the six-year
CIP. The largest project is the upcoming Regulation 85 CDPHE permit driven nutrient
improvements project to address more stringent phosphorus regulations. Other projects include
major electrical improvements (2018), the WWTF Biogas project (2019) secondary digester
cover replacement (2020), the secondary clarifiers rehabilitation project (2021), the primary
clarifiers rehabilitation project (2022), and the Phase 2 (2019) and Phase 3 (2024)
instrumentation and controls (I&C) projects.
Stormwater and Flood Management Utility
The Stormwater and Flood Management Utility CIP will address a combination of
major drainageway and storm sewer improvements focusing primarily on the
development and construction of new assets. The focus for flood mitigation projects in
the near-term is on Fourmile Canyon Creek upstream of 19th Street and South Boulder
Creek detention upstream of Hwy US 36. These projects have been through an
WRAB 5/21/18 6
extensive planning process and are intended to address areas with a high flood risk.
Funding is also included for the design of improvements along Gregory Canyon Creek
upstream of the Highland Bridge to address flooding up to a 10-year storm event.
Funding is included for the Upper Goose Creek drainageway 19th street and Folsom, as
well as storm sewer improvements between 4th street and 19th Street. There is also
funding shown for Boulder Creek/Boulder Slough in anticipation of improvements in
the Civic Area and development downstream of 30th Street.
Capital improvements for the stormwater collection system will focus on expansion of
the system into underserved areas and capacity improvements to address hydraulic
bottlenecks identified in the 2017 Stormwater Master Plan (SMP). Underserved areas
refer to locations that do not have existing storm sewer infrastructure or roadside ditch
capacity to convey the 2-yr or 5-yr s torm event for residential and commercial areas
respectively. Specific projects will include an expansion of the storm sewer system in
the vicinity of Pearl Street from 17th Street to 21st Street.
Major drainageway flood mitigation plans are underway in 2018 for Upper Goose
Creek, Twomile Creek, Skunk Creek, King’s Gulch and Bluebell Creek. These plans
will help identify future flood mitigation projects. In addition to these mitigation plans,
an update to the Comprehensive Flood and Stormwater Utility Master Plan is planned.
The master plan update will address policy level issues addressing the balance between
major drainageway and storm sewer infrastructure needs. This master plan update will
include a prioritization of the major drainageway programs as well as the need to add
new, and rehabilitate existing, storm sewer infrastructure to help inform future CIP
planning.
Over $170 million of major drainageway improvements have been identified along
Boulder Creek and the 14 tributaries. At current funding levels, it will take
approximately 100 years to complete these improvements and most identified needs are
not funded in the 6-year CIP. The prioritization study will identify the most critical
needs and evaluate appropriate funding levels.
Changes From the 2018-2023 CIP
See Attachment B for the proposed 2019-2024 Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater/Flood
Utility CIP’s, with changes indicated in red. Key changes from last year’s plan are highlighted
below.
Water Utility
• The Barker Gravity System rehabilitation program funding has been increased for the next
decade. The changes from last year’s CIP include the following:
a. A 12-yr (instead of 15-yr) pipeline replacement schedule ($43M)
b. Dedicated funding for the pipeline’s siphons ($3.4M over 6 years)
c. Dedicated funding for the Boulder Canyon Penstock repairs ($14M over 12 years)
• The Albion Dam rehabilitation funding ($11M) was moved from 2019 to 2022
• The Barker Dam Outlet works ($10M) rehabilitation funding was moved from 2020 to 2022
WRAB 5/21/18 7
• Maxwell, Orodell and Sunshine Hydros O&M funding was added ($535,000) in 2019, 2020,
and 2021 respectively
• Green Lake Dam funding ($6M) was postponed from 2022 to 2025
• Wittemyer Ponds funding ($6.5M) was postponed from 2021 to 2025
Wastewater Utility
• The Interceptor Sewer Realignment project bond ($10M) was moved from 2018 to 2019.
• The WWTF Biogas project has been added to the 6-year CIP in 2019. This project will
replace the aging cogeneration system and is estimated at $4M. The cogeneration system is
beyond its useful life and additional investment in the system is not recommended.
• The WWTF primary clarifiers rehabilitation project funding been greatly reduced after a
2017 inspection indicated that minor repairs, rather than complete replacement, will be
adequate to ensure the facility’s continued operation. The anticipated replacement funding
has been moved from 2022 to 2029 and reduced from $9M to $3M. Funding of $500,000
has been identified in 2022 for repairs.
• Secondary Clarifiers funding of $500,000 has been identified in 2021 for repairs
• WWTF Regulation 31 funding was postponed from 2029 to 2043
Stormwater and Flood Management Utility
• South Boulder Creek bond funding of $30M was moved from 2019 to 2020 to better align
with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan Update and associated land use decision on the
CU South property.
• The Upper Goose Creek area remains a high priority for both major drainageway
improvements and storm sewer improvements. The Upper Goose major drainageway (open
channel) and the Upper Goose Creek storm sewer (pipes) funding has been combined into a
single project to address both components. Additional funding for property acquisition may
be required to purchase various existing structures to accommodate drainageway
improvements.
a. Previous CIP’s identified major drainageway funding of $5.5M in year’s 2019-2023
to schedule the major drainageway work between 19th Street & Folsom Avenue
before the upstream storm sewer improvements
b. Previous CIP’s identified storm sewer improvements bond funding of $13M in 2023
to follow the competed major drainageway work.
c. The Upper Goose Creek project funding is now identified in 2023 at $24M to cover
both project components. It is anticipated the channel improvements between 19th
Street and Folsom Avenue will be completed in collaboration with the recommended
storm sewer improvements between 4th Street and 19th Street.
• A new line item has been identified for Drainageway Maintenance and Enhancement that
will be funded at $500,000 per year. This line item is to fund routine maintenance and minor
enhancements on existing improved and unimproved drainageways.
