Except for the enlargement of certain off-site water and sanitary sewer mains already in the Town's capital improvements plan and already being funded by water and sewer rates, the Town will not incur any additional financial obligation for such facilities. The extension of water and sanitary sewer service to the property will be financed by tap fees and other rates and charges sufficient to recover the cost of furnishing such service to the annexation property.

Districts: The annexation property is located within the Platteville- Gilcrest Fire Protection District, the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, Weld County Library District, Aims Community College District, and the Weld County School District RE-1. 6. School impacts: The Superintendent of the Weld County School District RE-1 has not responded for the School District's assessment of schools impacts resulting from the annexation. Extrapolating from information and criteria used previously for similar developments, the Town estimates that the annexation property is likely to generate approximately 105 additional students for the District's system. The Town has requested but has not received information as to the ability of the School District to accommodate that additional population with existing and planned capital facilities.
