North Weld County Water District is able and intends to provide water service to the above-mentioned property,
provided all requirements of the District are satisfied. If contracts have not been completed with North Weld County
Water District within one year from the date of this letter,the District may refuse to supply water to the above-
mentioned property. The District reserves this right to refuse service,in the event that raw water is unavailable,and/or
pipeline or Filter Plant capacity is not capable to provide additional service. Before a water tap may be purchased,the
applicant must provide a copy of a Warranty Deed,a Physical Address and this letter.
Water tap/service shall be placed on the physical property,defined by a legal description. In case of a Recorded
Exemption,the water tap shall only serve the parcel that the water tap is located on. Service shall NOT cross the legal
description of one parcel to serve the other parcel,unless an easement has been recorded for the water service and has
,r‘ been approved by the District.
The District recommends that anticipated raw water be purchased through the District. The District guarantees
treatment and delivery of water purchased. All water that Is delivered with surcharge is subject to water
availability. Water purchased through the District shall be 70%delivery of an Acre-Foot of water(228,000 gallons),if
the allotment for Colorado-Big Thompson(CBT)project water,which is determined by the Northern Colorado Water
Conservancy District,is 50%or greater. North Weld County Water District will restrict the delivery as necessary when
the CDT allotment is less than 50%. A portion of the Raw Water Fee is utilized by the District to construct storage
reservoirs.
North Weld County Water District does offer a Residence Only"RO"water tap. Water may be used for any purpose
with this tap,but the user will be penalized when year-to-date usage exceeds the allotment. With this option the
customer purchases only IA of the Raw Water Unit. Therefore the District will deliver 35%of an Acre-Foot of water
(114,000 gallons), if the allotment for Colorado-Big Thompson(CBT)project water, which is determined by the
Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District,is 50%or greater.North Weld County Water District will restrict the
delivery as necessary when the CBT allotment is less than 50%. With purchasing a RO tap,the customer is charged a t
different water surcharge rate than a normal customer. Refer to the following page for current rates.
The Plant Investment Fee pays for the infrastructure required to deliver 1 AFU(228,000 gallons). If usage exceeds
the number of Plant Investments that were purchased,an additional Plant Investment Surcharge will be applied to
your account. Plant Investments may be purchased to increase the amount of water to be delivered and avoid the
Plant Investment Surcharge.
