PORTIONS OF NW '/.,SEC.6,T3N,R68W —WELD COUNTY, CO
Proposed Keller Estates @ 17792 Weld County Road 1
The District provides water service within its service area as defined by the District. The
provision of water service by extension of existing water lines of the District to the above property and
the installation of taps for lots is done under the terms of the Rules and Regulations of the District
established by the Board of the District from time to time. You may obtain a copy of the Rules and
Regulations from the District. This letter outlines the provisions of the Rules and Regulations, however
this letter does not change any provisions of the Rules and Regulations. The Board of the District may
alter and amend the Rules and Regulations at any time, and the provisions of this letter are subject to
alteration and amendment based on changes in the Rules and Regulations of the District.
We currently serve 17792 WCR 1 through tap # 356 and will continue to serve this tap. We have
a 6" diameter water line located along WCR 1 with additional capacity available Therefore, we can
commit to provide service to proposed new taps at the above property, subject to the limitations in this
letter, for one standard residential 5/8" X 3/4" water tap per lot; and the following additional limitations
on the provision of water service are:
1. All improvements to District facilities required to provide service will be the financial
responsibility of the developer in accordance with the District Rules and Regulations. All
improvements must conform to District Specifications.
2. Little Thompson Water District requires you to transfer 1.4 shares of Colorado Big
Thompson water or other waters acceptable to Little Thompson Water District for each
lot in the commitment and then to pay for the rest of the tap fee as the water lines are put
in service. You then have the taps to sell with the lots at the price that you set.
3. If a fire hydrant is required for the subdivision there is a $2,000 fire hydrant fee that
needs to be paid prior to installation of the fire hydrant. You will be responsible for any
improvements or upgrades needed to meet the required fire flows in your subdivision.
2006-1520
4. You will be required to provide the needed water lines in the proposed subdivision.
5. The design, installation and total cost of the project will be the responsibility of the
developer.
This commitment letter will expire two years from the date of this letter if the taps have not been
purchased, paid for and installed by that date of expiration. The current fee for the domestic 5/8" X 3/4"
tap is $25,165. YOU ARE HEREBY ADVISED THAT THE RULES, REGULATIONS AND
TARIFFS OF THE DISTRICT ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE; AND THIS
LETTER IS ISSUED WITH THE SPECIFIC LIMITATION THAT THE DISTRICT MAY
CHANGE THE RULES, REGULATIONS AND TARIFFS APPLICABLE TO THE ABOVE

and to join the District.
2. The Customer desires to obtain water service for the"property"described in this Agreement.
3. The Customer shall pay for and provide all water mains either within or without the boundaries of the District in order to provide water
service to the property; but the District may construct said mains, or the District may approve construction by the Customer, or the
Customer's contractor upon terms approved by the District.
A. The District must approve such construction by the Customer,or the Customer's contractor by a written agreement providing for
the terms of such installation, including requirements that the materials used shall meet all standards of the District and that
provides for inspection by the District of the construction of such water mains. The cost of all construction shall be paid by the

B. A deposit in the amount hereinafter provided shall be paid by the Customer to the District as an advance towards the construction
cost of the District for such installation. After completion of all construction and acceptance by the District,a final adjustment of
costs will be made, if necessary. In the event that it is determined that the deposit is insufficient to cover the estimated cost of
construction,then the Customer shall pay to the District,on demand,additional advances towards the cost of construction.
C. If the installation is constructed by the Customer, or the Customer's contractor, the Customer shall transfer all right, title and
interest in and to the facilities installed as well as all easements and appurtenances and other necessary property rights to the

District shall not be responsible for any delay in providing service in the event of failure to provide such easements. Furthermore,failure to
provide easements required by the District will cause this Agreement to become null and void and of no further force and effect, and the
Customer shall forfeit all money or rights theretofore transferred to the District.
9. The facilities herein described are required by the Customer by date hereinafter stated. In the event the District installs the facility, the
District shall use reasonable diligence in providing said facilities by that date. If said facilities cannot be installed because of act of God,

11. Water service shall be provided to Customers located within the property at the District's applicable rates, and upon terms and conditions

BreakNeck has reviewed Well Permit#5718 and believe it incorrectly identifies in its
-- legal description the Keller/Gettman property. The Keller's/Gettman's have owned
this 77 acre parcel for over one hundred years while the permit was issued to Donald
Minch, as owner in May 1960. Mr. Minch never owned any portion of the
Keller/Gettman property. However, Mr. Minch did own the property directly north of
the Gettman Property during this period. In addition, the developer and surveyor were
unable to locate on the property a livestock well in the north 1/2 of the northwest 'A of
section 6, township 3 north, range 68 west of the 6t p.m. We have advised the
Division of Water Resources of this discrepancy.
