AGREEMENT
REGARDING COUNTY ZONIJG REVIEW OF
SPECIAL DISTRICT FACILITIES AND USES
_ 1. PARTIES. The parties to this Agreement are the COUNTY OF
BOULDER ("County") and LONGS PEAR WATER DISTRICT ("District") .
2 . RECITALS AND PURPOSES. Certain petitioners have filed with
County a service plan seeking the formation of a special district
pursuant to Section 32-1-101, et seq. , C.R. S. County has expressed
its concern with respect to whether a special district' s public
-- projects may be subject to County' s zoning regulations in general
and County' s special use permit process in particular. District ' s
petitioners agree that certain aspects of County ' s special use
permit review process may be in conformance with the legislative
intent of Section 30-28-110, C.R. S . , and that a stipulated
procedure for review of District' s projects, buildings and
structures would be in the best interests of the parties.
- Accordingly, the purpose of this Agreement is to set forth such
procedures. The parties further agree that this Agreement may be
incorporated as a condition of County approval of District ' s
_ service plan pursuant to Section 32-1-203 , C.R. S.
3 . AUTHORITY. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to
authority granted under Part 2 of Article 1 of Title 32 , C.R. S; §
32-1-1001 (1) (d) , C.R.S. ; Part 1 of Article 28 of Title 30 , C.R. S . ;
§ 29-1-203 , C.R. S. ; and § 29-20-105, C.R. S.
4 . SECTION 30-28-110, C.R.S. Section 30-28-110 (1) (a) through
(c) , C.R. S. provides in part that no public building, structure or
utility may be constructed unless it is first submitted to the
applicable county planning commission for "location and extent"
review; and, that if such proposed construction or authorization is
disapproved by such commission, and is not authorized or financed
within the province of the county commissioners, the proponent ' s
governing body may overrule the commission' s disapproval. Although
certain judicial interpretations of this statute indicate that a
governmental entity, such as a Title 32 special district, may
overrule a county planning commission' s decision regarding the
proposed construction of a public project, the parties disagree as
to these decisions ' current precedential effect. District is of
_ the opinion that County cannot impose a requirement more stringent •
than as is provided by Section 30-28-110, C.R. S. , as interpreted by
the ruling and order in Boulder District Court Civil Action No. 81
CV 1847-2 dated May 20, 1982 . District thus is of the opinion that
one of the purposes of the statute is to provide a method by which
a county may inform and advise the governmental proponent of the
effects of the project on the county and its residents. County is
of the opinion that an additional requirement for binding special
use review pursuant to County regulations (Article 20 of County' s
Zoning Resolution) is permissible under this statute or other
applicable principles of current state law. A copy of Article 20
is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
O1
ra
5. RECOGNITION OF RESPECTIVE INTERESTS. The parties acknowledge
and agree:
5. 1 That County has a reasonable expectation that its enacted
Zoning Resolution will have fair and reasonable applicability
regardless of whether an applicant for a proposed special use
is a private citizen, corporation or governmental entity.
5. 2 That County has an interest in minimizing the impact of
projects and uses on the surrounding area or neighborhood,
environmental resources and quality, and county facilities,
through the application of its special use review process.
5. 3 That as an elected body, District' s Board of Directors
has the statutory responsibility to manage, control and
supervise the affairs of District including the determination
of District' s (and the public' s) interest and needs with
respect to the acquisition, construction, installation or
completion of water works or other related improvements and
facilities.
5. 4 That County' s interest in the Zoning Resolutions ' s
_ . application may not always be in conformity with District ' s
determination of its interests and needs and those of the
public it serves.
5 . 5 That fulfillment of the public ' s interest in economical,
safe and efficient provision of water service may, in certain
instances, be subject to the reasonable exercise by County of
its police powers as expressed in its zoning regulations.
5. 6 That it is in the best interests of the parties to avoid
potential litigational conflict over their differences
identified in Paragraph 4 , above, and, therefore, it is in
their best interests to identify a process for County zoning
review of District projects and uses which preserves for
County the process of review pursuant to Article 20 of the
County Zoning Resolution; preserves for District the position
that Article 20 provides reasonable procedures and standards
to guide County' s review under § 30-28-110 (1) (a) - (c) ; and
preserves both parties ' ability to assert their respective
rights and obligations under § 30-28-110 and any other
applicable principles of law, in the event final County action
under Article 20 results in a proposed District facility or
use being disapproved, or approved with conditions which are
unduly burdensome in District ' s opinion.

`s'J
6. COUNTY ZONING REVIEW OF PROPOSED DISTRICT USES AND FACILITIES.
District and County agree that any proposed uses or facilities of
- District which fall within the scope of Article 20 ' s uses or
facilities subject to special use review, will be submitted by
District to County for County' s processing, review and action under
_ Article 20 of County' s Zoning Resolution. Prior to submitting an
application under Article 20 for a covered facility or use,
District' s Board of Directors shall consider the criteria, factors
and standards set forth in Article 20, together with feasible
alternative means to accomplish the task or meet the public need if
such feasible alternatives would be in compliance with County
Zoning Regulations. District' s consideration of such alternatives
shall be set forth in a development report which is to be included
with any application submitted to County under Article 20 , and
shall contain a statement that District' s Board of Directors has
considered such criteria, factors and standards prior to submitting
its application, and shall explain the results of such
consideration.
County agrees that in applying the criteria set forth in
Article 20-301 to any application of District submitted hereunder,
County will consider the public "health, safety, or welfare"
criterion of Article 20-301 (10) , as including not only "the present
or future inhabitants of Boulder County, " as set forth therein, but
also the impact on the general health, safety or welfare of the
present or future inhabitants of District if the proposed facility
or use is or is not approved. County further agrees that County
shall transmit, in writing, its final decision on any of District ' s
special use applications, no later than twenty-one (21) calendar
days after the date on which the Board of County Commissioners
makes its final decision.
_ 7. DISTRICT REVIEW OF COUNTY' S DECISION: In the event County ' s
Board of Commissioners ' final decision on District ' s application is
a disapproval or conditional approval, District' s Board of
Directors shall consider the matter at its next meeting, of which
it shall provide the Board of County Commissioners, County Land Use
Department, and County Attorney' s Office at least three (3) working
days ' prior notice. Representatives of County shall be afforded
the opportunity to be present at District' s meeting for this
purpose, and to be heard by District' s Board in defense of County' s
decision. District' s Board may at its sole discretion overrule
County' s decision if:
(1) The disapproval of the application is determined to be
contrary to the best interests of District and of the public,
after giving due consideration to the articulated interests of
County, and to the alternatives identified in District ' s
development report required under Paragraph 6 , above; or
- 3
Osi `.
(2) The conditional approval is determined to be contrary to
the best interests of District and of the public because such
conditions are unduly burdensome, after giving due
consideration to the articulated interests of County, and to
the alternatives identified in District 's development report
required under Paragraph 6, above.
District ' s Board of Directors shall, within 5 calendar days of
its final decision, if such decision overrules County ' s decision or
alters any conditions of County' s approval, communicate in writing
to County, with separate copies addressed to the Board of County
Commissioners and County Attorney, the specific and detailed
reasons for overruling (including altering) County' s decision.
District agrees that it shall not commence construction on, or make
any irretrievable commitments to, the proposed facility or use
during this entire time period, and for ten (10) calendar days
after District transmits the written communication of District ' s
overruling to County, as required above.
8 . COUNTY' S RIGHTS IN EVENT OF DISTRICT'S OVERRULING OF COUNTY' S
DECISION. County shall have thirty (30) calendar days after the
date of District ' s overruling (including altering of conditions)
under Paragraph 7 , above, within which to file an action in Boulder
District Court challenging District' s overruling; asserting
County' s authority under its decision made pursuant to Article 20;
and requesting any appropriate injunctive or other relief.
District shall be free to raise any defenses to County' s lawsuit
which District deems proper. The parties agree to not seek costs
or attorneys ' fees against each other in the event County elects to
- file a lawsuit hereunder. Also in the event of such a lawsuit,
neither party shall raise the issue or defense that the other party
has waived, or is estopped from pursuing, any of its applicable
claims or defenses, by virtue of having entered into or having
ratified this Agreement.
9 . COUNTY REVIEW OF PROPOSED DISTRICT USES, FACILITIES AND
ASSOCIATED EASEMENTS AFFECTING UNIQUE OR CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL
RESOURCES. Any proposed district land use, facility, structure, or
easement or right-of-way which is not within the scope of Article
-- 20 or Article 18 of County' s Zoning Resolution, or is not part of
a development subject to County' s subdivision review process, or
does not involve service to a single-family dwelling on a legal
building lot, and which may occur in or have an adverse impact on
any unique or critical Environmental Resource as defined and
designated or identified in the Environmental Resources Element of
the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan (except for Natural Areas and
Natural Landmarks which shall be subject to the review process
specified in Article 18 of the Zoning Resolution) , shall not be
undertaken, constructed, or acquired by District, unless the County
Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners first
determines, following a public hearing noticed in accordance with
the procedural requirements of Article 20, that the proposed use,
4
Lai -F *"r
facility, structure or easement or right-of-way acquisition will
not have an adverse impact on the unique or critical Environmental
Resource(s) involved. In making this determination, the Planning
Commission and Board of County Commissioners shall consider and be
guided by the criteria and concerns set forth in the Environmental
Resources policies of County's Comprehensive Plan. In the event of
a final Board of County Commissioners ' decision disapproving or
conditionally approving District' s proposal hereunder on the basis
of adverse environmental impact, District and County shall be
subject to the same rights and obligations as are set forth in
Paragraphs 7 and 8 , above.
The unique or critical Environmental Resources which shall
invoke the provisions of this Paragraph, are those which are
defined and designated or identified pursuant to Goals B. 1-6 of the
Environmental Resources Element and associated policies in County' s
Comprehensive Plan, and are, specifically, the following:
a. Historic Sites;
b. Archaeologically-sensitive Areas;
c. Critical Wildlife Habitats (including habitats, ranges, and
migration routes) ;
d. Critical Plant Associations;
e. Rare Plant Sites (Habitats) ; and
f. Significant Wetlands.
10. COUNTY' S "LOCATION AND EXTENT" REVIEW UNDER C.R.S. 5 30-28-
110 (1) . Any proposed District water distribution line or
transmission facility or other use which is not subject to
Paragraphs 6-9 of this Agreement, shall still be subject to review
pursuant to County' s process for "location and extent" review under
C.R.S. § 30-28-110 (1) , and County' s procedures and criteria
followed thereunder.
11. PRESERVATION OF COUNTY AUTHORITY: Except as expressly set
forth herein, this Agreement does not apply to or in any way limit
County' s exercise of any authorities granted to it whether now or
in the future.
12 . TERM. This Agreement shall commence as provided in Paragraph
14 , below, and shall continue in full force and effect until
rescinded, terminated or amended by mutual agreement of the
parties. Nothing in this provision shall limit or alter the
parties ' rights in the event of a County lawsuit as set forth in
Paragraph 8 , above. Moreover, if a final judgment or decision on
5
appeal is reached in a lawsuit brought by County pursuant to
Paragraph 8 , above, this Agreement shall terminate upon the
effective date of such judgment or decision.
13 . AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLE 20-301 AND AGREEMENT. The special use
review criteria which govern this Agreement are those set forth in
Article 20-301 of County' s Zoning Resolution as amended as of
January 1, 1990. If County amends the criteria in Article 20-301
in the future, any such amendments shall apply to this Agreement
only if the parties mutually agree to amend the Agreement for this
purpose.
-- 14 . EFFECTIVE DATE OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be
effective upon the date executed by the Chair of County ' s Board of
Commissioners, following approval and signature by the Board of
Directors of the Longs Peak Water Association. The zoning and
related review requirements set forth in Paragraphs 6-13 of this
Agreement, above, shall be binding on District immediately upon its
formation following election, as approved by the District Court.
15. CONDITION OF SERVICE PLAN APPROVAL. Approval of this
Agreement by District' s Board of Directors shall be a condition of
approval of the submitted service plan as approved by County
pursuant to County Land Use Docket #AR 91-1. District ' s failure to
ratify and execute this Agreement after formation shall constitute
a material departure from the service plan under Section 32-1-207 ,

AGREEMENT REGARDING FORMATION OF WATER DISTRICT
- 1. PARTIES. The parties to this Agreement are the CITY OF LONGMONT, a
municipal corporation (City) , and LONGS PEAK WATER ASSOCIATION, a Colorado non-
profit corporation (Association) .
2. RECITALS AND PURPOSE. The Association operates a water system in rural
areas of Boulder and Weld Counties, including areas adjacent to the northern
corporate limits of the City. The Association is pursuing the formation of a
Title 32 water district to be known as Longs Peak Water District (District) which
will assume the functions, assets and liabilities of the Association and which,
pursuant to statute, will have defined boundaries. The proposed boundaries of
the District will include certain lands lying within the St. Vrain Valley
Planning Area (SVVPA) and within the Longmont Planning Area (LPA) . In addition,
the proposed boundaries of the District will include one area known as the
Northwest Acres Subdivision which is not within the corporate boundaries of the
City, but which is within the Municipal Service Area (MSA) . The City does not
oppose the formation of the District provided that its concerns are resolved to
its satisfaction with respect to future annexations of properties which may be
serviced by the District or which may be within District boundaries. The purpose
of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions upon which the
District will provide service to present and future water users as well as how
the District will respond to future annexations to the City of properties which
are, or may be, included in or serviced by the District. Accordingly, in
consideration of the mutual covenants, the parties agree to the terms and
conditions set forth in the following paragraphs.
3. CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/DISTRICT SERVICE PLAN. Attached as EXHIBIT A is a
current map depicting the current boundaries of the City's SVVPA and LPA as
designated by the Longmont Area Comprehensive Plan. The Association recognizes
that certain properties which it currently services or which it may service lie
within the SVVPA and LPA, and that the Northwest Acres Subdivision which it
services lies within the City's MSA. The service plan to be submitted to Boulder
and Weld Counties for the formation of the District shall have a copy of this
Agreement attached and the boundaries of the proposed District shall be drawn so
as to include, with respect to areas within the LPA, only those properties
— currently serviced by the Association. Attached as EXHIBIT B is a map depicting
the proposed boundaries of the District. Attached as EXHIBIT C is a list of
those areas set forth by Section, Range, Township and County which this Agreement
may affect.
4. CONTINUATION OF SERVICE. The parties agree that any existing water service
provided by the Association, and subsequently by the District as its successor
in interest, to any property within the City' s LPA may continue until such time
as that property is annexed to the City. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
term "annexation" means when the annexation ordinance is recorded in the records
of Boulder County, Colorado and/or Weld County, Colorado, as applicable.
5. CITY'S RIGHT TO SERVE UPON ANNEXATION. Upon annexation by the City of
property served by the Association/District, the City, at its sole and absolute
discretion, subject to this Agreement, shall have the option of servicing such
property through its municipal water utility system as follows:
5.1 Recognizing that many of the properties to be possibly annexed by the
City are rural residences upon large tracts of land, the parties agree
that, within 90 days of the City's receipt of an annexation petition, the
Association shall coordinate with the City to develop a plan to provide
continued and uninterrupted water service to the residence or other
structures on the property until such time as the property is receiving
water service from the City.
5.2 If an annexation petition is filed with the City for lands within the
Association/District, and if the City Council finds that the annexation
petition is in substantial compliance with Section 31-12-107, Colorado
Revised Statutes, the City shall refer the annexation application to the
Association/District within 14 days of the City' s receipt of such applica-
tion. In addition, the City will provide the Association/District at least
25 days written notice of the date and time on which the City Council will
hold a public hearing on the annexation pursuant to Section 31-12-108(2) ,
Colorado Revised Statutes.
5.3 In the event that the City elects not to provide municipal water
service to the property at the time of annexation, the Association/District
shall continue to provide such service to the then existing tap(s)
servicing such properties for such period of time as may be mutually agreed
by the parties. Any continued service by the Association/District shall be
subject to its then existing rules and policies and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as an obligation of the Association/District
to provide service in contravention of such rules and policies. The City
shall have the right to preempt such service at any later date upon 90
days ' advance written notice to the Association/District of the intended
date of the changeover to the municipal system.
6. TRANSFER OF FACILITIES, WATER RIGHTS, ETC. Upon annexation and the transfer
of service to the property from the Association/District to the City, the
following shall occur:
6. 1 All raw water rights owned by the Association/District shall be
retained by the Association.
6.2 The City acknowledges that the District may require the property
owner which is seeking annexation to reimburse the Association/District an
amount equal to the total revenue received by the Association/District for
the 36-month period preceding the filing date of the annexation application
for each tap which will be disconnected from the Association/District' s
system as result of the annexation.
6.3 Unless the parties agree otherwise, the Association/District shall
convey to the City any existing water line(s) and easement(s) serving the
property annexed if such water line(s) is/are capable of being integrated
into the City's utility system, as determined by the City in its sole
discretion. The compensation payable to the Association/District for such
line(s) and easement(s) shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 11
below.
2
el , 'n
6.4 The Association/District shall retain whatever water lines and
easements in the property annexed it may require, if any, for the continued
operations of its remaining water system. Where feasible, both the City
and the Association/District may continue to jointly use those easements in
which both the City and the Association/District maintain water lines.
7. INCLUSIONS AND EXPANSION OF SERVICE. All future proposed inclusions of
properties and/or expansion of services by the Association/District within the
City's existing LPA beyond those shown on the attached EXHIBIT B and beyond the
boundaries of the Northwest Acres Subdivision shall be subject to City's prior
approval . Requests to the Association/District for service and/or petitions to
the Association/District for inclusions of properties lying within the existing
LPA shall be timely referred by the Association/District to the City for its
review within ten days of the Association/District's receipt of such requests or
petitions. The City shall approve or disapprove the proposed inclusion within
45 days of such referral . The term "expansion of services" shall include the
addition of new taps on such parcels of property currently serviced by the
Association and the sale of new taps within the existing LPA. The purpose of
this referral process is to provide assurance to the City that a new development
immediately outside of its corporate limits can be evaluated to determine what
impacts such development will have on the City' s water system. The intent is not
to totally preclude the Association/District from extending or expanding water
-- service or to preclude any development in Boulder or Weld Counties. The
Association/District agrees to consult with the City regarding the appropriate
design, capacity and location of proposed new Association/District lines within
the LPA or the MSA in order to avoid the necessity of duplicating line construc-
tion in the future as additional development occurs. The Association/District
further agrees to permit the City to participate in the line capacity of any new
transmission line constructed by the Association/District within the LPA or the
MSA. Approval by City Council shall only be withheld on the grounds set forth
in Section 32-1-401 (1) (c) (II) , Colorado Revised Statutes, that is, that the City
will provide adequate water service to the real property described in the
petition for inclusion within a reasonable time and on a comparable basis.
8. CONSULTATION. Whenever any distribution lines owned and operated by the
Association/District within the City' s LPA or MSA are being replaced, expanded,
or added to, the Association/District agrees to consult with the City concerning
such replacement, expansion or addition to such lines. If the City agrees to
purchase such distribution lines (for the amount set forth in paragraph 11 . 1)
when the property under which they are located is annexed to the City, they shall
be designed to meet or, at the option of the Association/District, to exceed the
then applicable standards of the City, including fire flows. For the purposes
_ of this Agreement, a "distribution line" is a water line which is used to provide
water service to taps within a subdivision or within a defined area. For the
purposes of this Agreement, a "transmission line" is a water line which transmits
water for use in a grid or multiple area and which typically does not have taps
connected directly into it.
9. EXCLUSIONS FROM DISTRICT. In the event the District is formed, and upon
annexation by the City of property within the District, the City shall have the
right to condition annexation upon the submittal by the property owner of a
petition for exclusion from the District. The District agrees to timely process
and grant such exclusion petition subject to payment by the property owner of any
reimbursements required by the District/Association pursuant to paragraph 6.2
3
el -e b
above. In the event of unilateral annexations, the City and the District shall
stipulate to exclusion pursuant to proceedings initiated under Section 32-1-502,
Colorado Revised Statutes. The parties acknowledge that, under existing state
statutes, objecting property owner(s) may petition the court for an election on
the issue of continuation of services by the District, and that notwithstanding
the provisions of this Agreement, the parties are unable to agree to limit this
statutory right.
10. FUTURE EXPANSION OF LPA. In the event the City expands its LPA beyond the
boundaries set forth on EXHIBIT A and into the Association/District's service
area as set forth on EXHIBIT B which may be further amended from time to time
hereafter, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern such expansion to the
extent that such provisions are applicable. In the event the provisions of this
Agreement are not applicable, the parties agree to meet, confer and negotiate in
good faith concerning issues of mutual concern including but not limited to:
10. 1 The options available to providing water to such properties using
existing infrastructures of the Association/District.
10.2 Terms and conditions of a new agreement or an addendum to this
Agreement.
11. COMPENSATION.
11 . 1 The City shall compensate the Association/District an amount
reflecting the amortized value of any existing water line(s) serving
property annexed by the City if, as determined by the City in its sole
discretion, such water line(s) is/are integrated into the City' s domestic
water system. In the event that the parties cannot otherwise agree to the
amortized value of the water line(s) to be integrated into the City's
system, the following presumption shall be applied by the parties in
deriving such value: a 40-year useful life shall be presumed and the
value, based on original cost to the Association/District, shall be
calculated on the nearest half year from the date of construction.
11 .2 In the event that the City determines to expand its LPA beyond the
boundaries set forth on EXHIBIT A and the Association/District has
developed water storage facilities, water treatment plants and transmission
facilities serving the area contemplated by the expanded LPA not existing
as of the date of this Agreement, prior to such expansion, the City shall
agree as a function of the expansion of its LPA to restore the Association/
District with such monies, based on original cost to the Association/
_ District, as remain unsatisfied which are attributable on a pro rata basis
to the area sought for expansion as may be required to recoup such capital
investment. Such amount shall be established and shall become due and
payable at the time of annexation and assumption of domestic water service
by the City.
12. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Agreement shall become effective upon its ratification
-- by the District following the District ' s formation. If, for any reason, the
District is not formed, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith about
entering into an agreement between the City and the Association concerning the
matters set forth in this Agreement.
4
o ^! 'Cr?*
13. TAP TRADES. In the event taps are traded between the Association/District
and the City, such trades shall not be governed by this Agreement. Such trades
shall be considered as separate agreements to be reached on a case-by-case basis.
It is understood by the parties that such trades are made for the mutual benefit
of the parties and neither party is considered damaged.
14. RATIFICATION BY SUCCESSOR SPECIAL DISTRICT. This Agreement shall be
incorporated into the service plan of the proposed District and, if formed, it
shall be ratified by the District's initial board of directors. The District's
failure to ratify shall constitute a material departure from the District' s
service plan and injunctive relief may be obtained pursuant to Section 32-1-207,
Colorado Revised Statutes.
15. GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS. The service plan of the proposed District states
that the District intends to issue only revenue bonds and does not intend to
issue general obligation bonds. The Association/District acknowledges that any
plan by the District to issue general obligation bonds would constitute a
material modification to the service plan which would require the District to
comply with statutory procedures applicable to service plan modifications.

resolved by the parties shall be submitted to arbitration in Longmont, Colorado,
by a board of three persons, one chosen by each party and the third by the two
persons previously chosen. The parties agree to abide by the decision of the
three-person board. If either party fails to choose a representative within ten
days after demand for arbitration, the decision of the person chosen by the other
party shall govern. The prevailing party may file such award with the Clerk of
the District Court of Boulder County who shall enter judgment thereon, and if
such award requires the payment of money, execution shall issue on such judgment.
17. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assigned or delegated except with
the prior written consent of the parties.

writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for all purposes if
sent by certified or registered mail , postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the
party to whom such notice is intended to be given at the address set forth on the
signature page below, or at such other address as has been previously furnished
in writing to the other party or parties. Such notice shall be deemed to have
been given when deposited in the U.S. Mail .
19. EXHIBITS. All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are, by reference,
incorporated in this Agreement for all purposes.
20. DELAYS. Any delays in, or failure of, performance by any party of his or
its obligations under this Agreement shall be excused if such delays or failure
are a result of acts of God, fires, floods, strikes, labor disputes, accidents,
regulations or orders of civil or miliary authorities, shortages of labor or
materials, or other causes, similar or dissimilar, which are beyond the control
— of such party.
21. PARAGRAPH CAPTIONS. The captions of the paragraphs are set forth only for

22. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS OR ACTION. The parties agree to execute any additional
documents and to take any additional action necessary to carry out this
Agreement.
23. INTEGRATION AND AMENDMENT. This Agreement represents the entire agreement
between the parties and there are no oral or collateral agreements or
understandings. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing
signed by the parties.
24. DEFAULT AND/OR TERMINATION. All terms and conditions of this Agreement are
considered material and in the event that either party defaults in the
performance of any of the covenants or agreements to be kept, done or performed
by and under the requirements of this Agreement, the non-defaulting party shall
give the defaulting party 20 days written notice of such default, and if the
defaulting party fails and neglects or refuses for a period of more than 20 days
thereafter to make good or perform the default, then the non-defaulting party,
without further notice, may, in addition to any other remedies available to it,
terminate all rights and privileges granted in this Agreement and this Agreement
shall be of no further force or effect.
25. WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a breach of
any term or provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach by any party.
26. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the parties, and their respective legal representatives,
successors, and assigns; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to permit the assignment of this Agreement except as otherwise
specifically authorized in this Agreement. Except as expressly provided for in
this Agreement, the parties, by entering into this Agreement, do not intend to
grant or confer any rights or benefits to or upon any third party.
27. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Colorado.
28. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is declared by an
arbitrator to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed
to be severable, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain fully
enforceable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted in all respects as if such
provision were omitted.

Re: Special District Formation
Dear Commissioners:
Nearly thirty years ago, the Longs Peak Water Association was formed by the
residents of rural northeastern Boulder and southwestern Weld Counties to
provide clean, safe, potable water for themselves and their. livestock. The
Association has served its members well over the years. However, it is the
opinion of its. Board. of Directors- that the Association must change its legal
status to meet the challenges of the 1990's so that it can continue to meet
the needs of its customers.
We are pleased to submit to you for your consideration and processing the
attached Service Plan for the Longs Peak Water District.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SERVICES
The proposed Longs Peak Water District will be a Title 32 water
district, defined by statute as a political subdivision of the State and which
"supplies water for domestic and other public and private purposes
by any available means and provides all necessary or proper
reservoirs, treatment works and facilities, equipment, and
appurtenances incident thereto." (Section 32-1-103 (25) , C.R.S.)
The District will provide potable water to its customers as a result of
it acquiring rights to untreated water (and/or using existing water rights as
described herein) , storing such water in reservoirs and/or exchanging such
water, treating the water at treatment facilities (existing and/or to be
constructed) , and distributing the treated water to its customers by way of
distribution facilities (both existing and/or to be constructed in accordance
with the needs of the District) .
NEED FOR CREATION OF A SPECIAL DISTRICT
A. The Association
The Longs Peak Water Association was formed in 1960 as a Colorado not-
for-profit corporation pursuant to Section 7-22-101, et seq. , C.R.S. Its
mission, as set forth in its organizational documents, is to construct and
operate a water storage, treatment and distribution system on a non-profit
basis for the benefit of its members.
The Association does not issue capital stock. Instead, voting
memberships are issued to those who obtain membership and water service from
the Association pursuant to its bylaws, rules and regulations. Membership is
limited by the Articles of Incorporation to those "owning, controlling or
occupying land situated within the area served by the water system of the
1
,•
corporation." It is governed by an elected seven person board of directors.
It is managed by a part-time manager and operated by a paid staff.
The Association's primary source of operating revenue has been through
the monthly service fees it charges its members for the use of treated water.
It also possesses the ability to levy special assessments on each membership
to meet its financial commitments.
At its annual meeting of October 28, 1989, the Association's membership
voted 194 to 0 to form a special district and to transfer the Association's
assets and functions to that district.
B. Reasons for Creation of a Water District
The Association has been successful in meeting the growing demands of
its members throughout the years --- from providing a needed service for farm
families to now providing potable water to county subdivisions and rural
residents. Nevertheless, the Association's Board of Directors is of the
opinion that the Association should become a Title 32 special district for
numerous and important reasons. Foremost among these are:
1 . Liability Insurance Costs. The Association's annual liability
insurance premiums are approximately $20,000 which reflect the Association's
operation of water treatment and distribution facilities as well as water
storage interests in reservoirs. Insurance coverage for 1990 was difficult to
obtain due to the decrease of the number of companies willing to insure water
companies. The insurance industry "crisis" several years ago resulted in a
reduction of covered risks but an increase in premiums. A special district is
immune from certain tort claims for personal injury and property damage and
from liability in excess of $150,000 per person and $400,000 in the aggregate
pursuant to the provisions of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act. This
2
.1
legal and economic protection is vital , especially in light of the expanding
theories of liability with respect to reservoir and dam safety, water
pollution, cross connections, etc.
2. Tax Exemption Status. As a non-profit provider of domestic water,
the Association is currently exempt from real and personal property taxes
pursuant to Section 39-3-101 (1) (g) (I) (F) ,C.R.S. In 1984 this tax exemption
was nearly lost but was restored by the state legislature. In 1989, the state
legislature considered revocation of the tax exempt status but SB 237 was
amended at the committee stage to maintain this exemption for non-profit
domestic water companies. If the Association's assets were subject to
taxation, it would cost the members approximately $52,200 per year based upon
a total tax levy of 90 mills on approximately $2,000,000 of assets which would
have an assessed valuation of approximately $580,000. The Association cannot
continue to rely upon its statutory non-profit tax exemption status. As a
governmental entity, the District's assets would not be subject to taxation.
3. Use of Public Rights of Way. The Association has historically
enjoyed the co-operation of landowners, local governments, and the state in
the placement of its water distribution system. The Association has adhered
to a policy of locating its lines in privately donated easements. However,
in the past several years, it has been more difficult to obtain landowner co-
operation, especially from non-agricultural residents. Important projects
have been delayed due to recalcitrant landowners. A special district enjoys
the statutorily granted right to utilize public rights of way in which to lay
distribution lines. In addition, a district has condemnation powers in the
event that a negotiated agreement cannot be reached with a landowner.
3
4. Parity with Governmental Entities. As a non-profit corporation,
the Association is hampered in its relationships with other water suppliers
and other governmental entities. For example, the Association is unable to
enter into intergovernmental agreements or to join governmental entities to
address issues of mutual concern because it is not a governmental entity.
We are only ten years away from the beginning of a new century which
will undoubtedly require new solutions to problems both old and new. Some
experts are predicting that regional coalitions of governmental entities hold
the key to providing economical water for our children and grandchildren. As
a governmental entity, the District would have full parity with other entities
in Boulder and Weld Counties.
Furthermore, the Association's assets are subject to the condemnation
powers of municipalities. With the demise of the Two Forks Dam project, it is
no secret that the Denver area suburban municipalities are attempting to
resolve projected water shortages by turning to the agricultural water lying
to their north. As a special district, the Association's assets would be
afforded protection from municipal condemnation. Furthermore, as a district
there would be no memberships to acquire in the event of a "takeover" bid by
another water user similar to what has been recently attempted by PSC and the
REA's.
5. Defined Boundaries. As a non-profit corporation, the Association
has no actual boundaries. It can service any geographic area subject only to
the legal limitations on the use of Colorado Big Thompson Project and Windy
Gap water. As a district, defined boundaries would exist which would lend
certainty to planning efforts of all surrounding municipalities and other
water suppliers. Statutory provisions dictate the procedures to be followed
4
in the event of municipal annexation of areas within (or serviced by) a
special district.' Currently, absent written agreements, the Association
must resort to persuasion and perhaps legal action to protect its capital
investments and assets in areas which are annexed to municipalities. As a
last resort, statutory methods would be available as a method of resolving
these issues and would be in the best interests of all .
6. Collection of Delinquent Accounts. As a non-profit corporation,
the Association seeks the cooperation of its members with respect to the
payment of the monthly service charges. Nevertheless, past due accounts are
an economic reality. By statute a special district's charges and fees
constitute an automatic lien on the property serviced without further action
by the District. This statutory lien is prior, perpetual and takes preference
over deeds of trust and other encumbrances. Section 32-1-1101(1) (e) , C.R.S. ,
has increased the collection abilities of water districts by utilizing the
county treasurer's services in certain instances.
7. Financial Flexibility. Historically, the Association has obtained
necessary funding for capital construction projects from various Farmers' Home
Administration grants and loans. These federal grant and loan programs are
now virtually nonexistent. State grant funds are limited, designated for
' See, Section 32-1-502, C.R.S. The statute establishes a hearing
process on proposed plans for disposition of assets, bonded indebtedness and
customer service, etc. in the event of disagreement between the parties.
Furthermore, the customers can demand an election on the issue of continued
service by the District.
5
rectifying prioritized health hazards, and only available to municipalities or
water districts.' Industrial revenue bonds for non-governmental entities are
dependent upon their availability through (and consent of) the County as the
issuer. Direct loans from financial institutions are available but at greatly
increased interest rates. Water districts have the statutory authority to
directly issue revenue bonds. This ability to raise needed funds for capital
projects funds will save the customers a substantial amount by decreasing
interest rates and giving the District greater financial flexibility to take
advantage of fluctuations in the bond market. For instance, the Association's
current loan with the First National Bank of Longmont is at an interest rate
of 10% but adjusted every five years. This debt could be replaced with a
revenue bond at a lower interest rate by several percentage points resulting
in a substantial reduction in the annual debt service.
Furthermore, a district can establish varying rates in areas within the
district depending upon the services furnished or to be furnished therein.
This allows for greater flexibility and precludes the subsidy of newer service
by existing customers. Currently, the Association requires uniform rates and
charges throughout the Association's service area.
8. Pre-emption of other special districts. Under Section 32-1-107
(2) , C.R.S. , a special district cannot be formed within the boundaries of an
existing special district which provides the same service to be provided by
the newly created district. Furthermore, a metropolitan district (which can
provide more than one type of service) cannot duplicate the services provided
' For example, the Colorado Water Resources and Power Department
Authority recently established a financing program for small water projects
(treatment plants, pumping station, distribution lines, etc.) . This program
is only available to governmental entities.
6
<<
r�
by an existing special district in the same area. This statute obviously
precludes the duplication of services and the proliferation of special
districts. Because the utilization by developers of small special districts
as a funding mechanism for capital improvements is becoming increasingly
popular, it is in the best interests of both counties that a constituent, non-
developer water district be formed to economically serve existing and future
residents of the area on a regional basis instead of on a "development" basis.
9. Governmental attributes. As a governmental entity, the ballot box
will replace the annual meeting of members. Although the annual meetings
normally are of only several hours duration, in this busy age it is becoming
more difficult to obtain widespread participation of the membership even at a
once-a-year meeting on a Saturday afternoon. Furthermore, the District would
be subject to such familiar statutory provisions as the open meetings, public
records statutes, and annual audit and budgetary procedures.
C. Existing and Projected Need
The Association provides water service to nearly 1900 people and
therefore without question there is an existing need for this service.
However, for the reasons stated above, the Association's ability to continue
to provide economical and efficient service is questionable. The replacement
of the Association by the District would result in a legal structure which
would create stability, continuity and certainty and provide the means to
accomplish the task of water treatment and distribution for the customers in
an economically sound and legally practical manner. Adequate water service to
these 2500 people cannot be provided by any other single entity within a
reasonable time and on a comparable basis.

DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES
A. Water Supply
As of November 30, 1990 the Association's raw water supply consisted of
813 units of Colorado Big Thompson Project (hereinafter "Big T") water
pursuant to contract rights with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy
District. The Association also owns 1 share of Highland Ditch Co. stock, 4
shares of Supply Ditch Co. stock, 2/3 share of Rough and Ready Ditch Co.
stock and 1/2 share of Pleasant Valley Reservoir and Fish Co. stock. These
shares and units represent an average annual yield of 708 acre-feet of
untreated water.
Currently the Association uses "Big T", free river and Supply Ditch Co.
water for treating. The other water is leased for irrigation purposes. The
water used by contract from Pleasant Valley Reservoir is commingled water but
Longs Peak uses is determined by the amount of "Big T" water placed in
Pleasant Valley by virtue of unit owned by Longs Peak Water Association. The
Association service area is entirely within the Northern Colorado Water
Conservancy District Boundaries. It is anticipated that the major source of
water for the District will be "Big T" water, but others may be used in the
future.
B. Water Storage, Treatment, and Distribution
The untreated water used in the Association's system is stored in two
reservoirs owned by the Association near their original plant which is located
four miles west of Longmont and one-half mile north of Highway 66 and in
Pleasant Valley Reservoir through contract with the Pleasant Valley Reservoir
& Fish Company. These storage reservoirs are adequate to provide water for
the existing treatment facilities and the Association does not anticipate
8
4 ..
building any more reservoir capacity. If more reservoir capacity is needed,
it is anticipated this will be done through agreement with existing reservoir
companies. The arrangement of using this capacity in the existing reservoirs
works well in that the Association requires the storage in the winter time and
the reservoirs are filled then with the Big "T" water used by the Association
early in the Spring so the reservoir owners don't lose any reservoir capacity.
The Association's water treatment facilities consist of two plants each rated
for .75 mgd. The original treatment plant is located where the reservoirs are
west of Longmont and north of Highway 66. This plant was built in 1961 and
served the District until 1980 when a second plant was constructed a mile
north of Longmont near Terry Lake on Vermillion Road. These plants have
excess capacity and at this time it is not anticipated that any new plant
facilities will be required for at least 10 years. Both of the treatment
facilities are downstream from the Colorado Big Thompson system. The raw
water is delivered to the reservoir by carrying rights in the ditches that
serve the particular reservoirs. The treated water is delivered in the
Association's system through approximately 50 miles of transmission and
distribution lines. These lines range in size from 1-inch to 14-inch. There
is one booster pump station on the system which boosts water west from N. 75th
Street to the Rabbit Mountain area and there are pumps in each plant that pump
water to elevated storage where the system is then fed by gravity. Lines have
been constructed over the years 1960 to present. The lines that were
constructed in the early days of the system will require replacement as time
goes by because of the materials used at that time have an estimated life of
30 years which in 1990 these pipes will have been in the ground for 30 years.
The Association is not able to tell at this time which of the lines may begin
9
J
to deteriorate. The history of the old lines has been that they remain sound
until something disturbs them. This is usually being hit by another entity
trenching in the area. Once they are disturbed the problems continue until
they are replaced. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to determine a
schedule for replacement.
C. Standards of Construction
The Company has published a set of standards and specifications for
design and construction of water facilities which must be followed for all new
facility installations. A copy, entitled Longs Peak Water Association
Standards and Specifications is attached as Exhibit C. The Association's
standards and specifications will be adopted in total by the District. These
standards and specifications were purposefully drafted to meet or exceed those
of adjacent service providers, except fire flow. Fire flow standards will be
met within the Longmont Planning Area as per the Agreement with the City of
Longmont.
D. Service Users, Population Estimate and Assessed Valuation
The Company presently services approximately 695 taps. The Colorado
State Health Department guideline suggests that a figure of 2.7 persons per
household be utilized for planning purposes. Thus, it is estimated that the
Association serves 1,876 persons. Because the majority of the land lying
within the proposed boundaries is zoned agricultural , it is not anticipated
that dramatic growth will occur within the boundaries in the near future.
Service to County approved non-urban development and to existing development
not currently serviced by a water utility will provide the main source of
future customers.
10
1 J
dt -.1 S,
Although property taxes are not contemplated, the estimated total
assessed valuation of the District would be $84,900,000 for both counties.
E. Future Capital Construction Projects
The Association does not have any definite major capital projects
planned for the next several years, other than minor transmission line
upgrades, line replacement and replacements to alleviate pressure and flow
problems in certain areas.
The Association's staff will be developing a 10 year capital
construction plan for the Association/ District's Board of Directors to
consider at its next long range planning session. It is anticipated that this
long range plan will include recommendations for:
PROJECT A:
This project would anticipate constructing approximately 3-1/2
miles of 6 or 8-inch line from the Number One plant west of
Longmont, further west along Highway 66 to the McCall Lake area.
This line would serve people in the area of McCall Lake and
Hygiene who do not have water service.
PROJECT B:
The upgrading of the main transmission line on Highway
66 from County Line East to I-25. This upgrade would
be done to better serve the I-25 corridor area at the
intersection of Highway 66 and I-25. These are the
only two projects that have been discussed or planned
by the Association.
The District's Board of Directors will be statutorily empowered to
manage the affairs of the District and therefore the right to determine which
future projects are in the District's best interests are reserved to its
Board. Nevertheless, the District would be willing to consult with the
respective planning staffs of Boulder and Weld Counties prior to any major
11
1 '
capital construction project. County input would be welcomed at long range
planning sessions.
Proposed Boundaries
The proposed boundaries of the District are shown on the map labeled
Exhibit E. The boundaries include all of the existing areas which are
currently serviced by the Association, together with areas which can be
efficiently serviced in the future. It is important to note the following:
* All lands lying within the "enclosed" boundaries will be included
regardless of whether the particular parcel is currently being
serviced by the Company.
* Where the boundary skirts the City of Longmont, any land currently
within the City of Longmont will be specifically excluded from the
boundaries of the District. The area directly north of Longmont
which is in the Longmont Planning Area, the District will include
only those parcels served by the Association.
A legal description of these parcels and the District boundaries are set forth
in Exhibit D.
FINANCIAL PLAN
A. Projections
The Association's auditor, Lambert & Associates, P.C. , 717 5th Avenue,
Longmont, Colorado, has prepared a financial analysis of the Association/
District. These include:
Income and Retained Earnings - Exhibit A - Table 1
Forecasted Cash Flow - Exhibit A - Table 2
Forecasted Balance Sheet - Exhibit A - Table 3
It is imperative to note that these financial statements are based upon
the assumption that the Association/District will experience "no growth" or
any increase in the number of taps issued. This "no growth" assumption is
12
i
ei .,
made to demonstrate that, unlike a developer district, the financial viability
of the Association/District is not completely dependent upon rapid future
development.
B. Rates and Fees
The Association's current rates should continue unchanged by the
District after it assumes the functions of the Association. The District's
Board of Directors will be responsible for establishing all rates, fees and
charges subject to statutory limitations.
PROPOSED INDEBTEDNESS
A. Introduction
The Association currently has one major financial obligation
outstanding: a promissory note to the First National Bank of Longmont. A
detailed explanation of this obligation is set forth below. Upon formation,
the District would issue revenue bonds to acquire the assets of the
Association. The money paid to the Association for its assets will be
sufficient to retire the existing debt. The Association would then transfer
all of its assets and functions to the District and the District would assume
all existing contractual obligations. A portion of the operating revenue of
the District would then be allocated to pay the District's obligations under
the newly issued revenue bonds in the same manner as the Association has met
its existing debt service. However if the then prevailing interest rates or
cost of issuance suggest delaying a bond issuance, or preclude issuance, the
District would assume the Association's debt. The following is an explanation
of this proposed transaction.
13
B. First National Bank Loan
The Association has historically obtained financing for its capital
construction projects from the various rural water loan programs of the
Farmers Home Administration. In 1987, the Farmers Home Administration
announced a discount purchase program whereby substantial discounts would be
made if outstanding loans were prepaid by the borrower with non tax-exempt
funds. The Association took advantage of this discount program by borrowing
$720,000 from First National Bank of Longmont and utilized these funds to
purchase the existing loan from the Farmers Home Administration which then had
a principal balance of $1,193,000. This resulted in a savings to the
Association of $473,000 in principal alone. The terms of the note call for
monthly payments of $8,604.50 until paid in full on or before June 30, 2000.
This note will be paid prior to its maturity by the Association
utilizing the proceeds from the sale of its assets to the District. Depending
upon the opinion of the District's special bond counsel , and upon then
existing federal regulations, the District may be required to temporarily
assume the loan. If so, the Association would obtain the consent of the Bank
and assign the note and delegate its duties thereunder to the District which
would then await a favorable interest rate before issuing the revenue bonds to
effect repayment of the loan.
In the event that an unfavorable bond market precludes the issuance of
revenue bonds, the District would simply assume the loan and retire the
indebtedness pursuant to its current or renegotiated terms.
D. Revenue Bond Capability
Pursuant to Section 32-1-1101 (1) (d) , C.R.S. , the issuance of revenue
bonds does not require the affirmative vote of the District's electorate
14
c�
because the bond obligation would be met from the District's revenues and not
from property tax levies. Only those general obligations which represent the
pledge of the full faith and credit of the public entity (resulting in the
levy of property taxes) require voter approval . The District does not intend
to utilize general obligation bonds in the foreseeable future and therefore
property taxes to retire general obligation indebtedness are not currently
anticipated. All existing and assumed obligations will be retired or met from
the operating revenues of the District in the same manner as the Association
has met its existing obligations solely from past operating revenues.
However, any general obligation bonded indebtedness needed for future capital
construction projects will be submitted to the electorate for prior approval
as required by the state constitution.
E. Other Indebtedness
The District will assume all other existing long term and short term
indebtedness of the Association at the time of transfer of assets and
assumption of functions. This assumption of indebtedness would be all
inclusive and would include (but is not limited to) all operating expenses,
accounts payable, accrued expenses, and all other liabilities incurred by the
Association in its normal operations. Expressly excluded would be contingent
claims, known or unknown, for personal injury or property damage which would
be limited or barred by operation of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act,
Section 24-10-101, et seq. , C.R.S.
F. General Operating Mill Levy
It is not anticipated that the District would be required to levy any
taxes for general operating purposes in the foreseeable future. The District
should be able to meet both its short and long term obligations solely from
15
operating revenues. However, because of the small number of customers and the
prospect of possible loss of customers through annexation of properties into
the City of Longmont, the District may, in the future, be required to levy a
minimal property tax for general operating expenses. However, this power is
not different from the Association's current ability to levy special
assessments on its members to meet its obligations. Should it become
necessary to issue general obligation bonds, Longs Peak Water District will
consider this a material change in the service plan and will comply with the
statutory procedures applicable to service plan modifications.

CONFORMITY WITH THE RESPECTIVE COUNTIES' COMPREHENSIVE PLANS
A. Boulder County
The formation of a District is in substantial compliance with the
Boulder County Comprehensive Plan. Most of the proposed District lies within
the Terry Lake Study Area north of Longmont. The Comprehensive Plan
characterizes the Terry Lake analysis area as principally agricultural area
with approximately 91 percent of the area used for agricultural purposes.
Further the Comprehensive Plan states on page 11-44, "Encourage new dwellings
to utilize the Little Thompson Water District or Longs Peak Water Association
for their domestic water supply." It is felt that by taking steps to make the
Longs Peak Water Association/District a more viable unit is in conformance
with this portion of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan also
indicates that there are 33 platted but vacant lots in the Terry Lake analysis
area. Since the time of the Comprehensive Plan there have been several
NUPUD's approved in the area and this has brought this number closer to 70 to
80 lots which again will require service from a viable water source. It is
imperative to note that as a "constituent district" (distinguished from a
"developer district") the District will not be dependent upon growth and
development to meet its financial commitments or to provide efficient and
economical service. Nevertheless, with the Company's existing infrastructure
of distribution lines, the District would be able to continue to service rural
residents located on farms and in existing subdivisions and NUPUDs as well as
to service future NUPUDs which the County may approve. Thus, under the
Comprehensive Plan, there is an "existing and projected need for organized
service in the area."
17
C'Ail
Finally, the District could ensure a reliable source of domestic water
to the residents of the McCall Lake and Hygiene area thus preserving the
option for the residents to remain a separate and distinct community apart
from the City of Longmont and in conformity with goal 14.04 of the
Comprehensive Plan.
B. Weld County
The eastern portion of the proposed District lies within Weld County
and includes two distinct areas: the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area (M.U.D.)
and the non-urban and agricultural areas which are adjacent to Boulder County
in the western portion of Weld County. The formation of the District is in
conformity with the adopted Weld County Comprehensive Plan with respect to
both areas.
With respect to the I-25 M.U.D. , the Comprehensive Plan states as two of
its goals:
3. To provide efficient and cost-effective delivery of adequate
public facilities and services which assure the health, safety, and
general welfare of the present and future residents of Weld County and
the area.
* * * *
5. To promote governmental cooperation in order to avoid duplication
of services and to provide economies of scale.
Certainly, the formation of the District to provide "efficient and cost
effective" water service to the residents of the area, utilizing the
Association's infrastructure, is consistent with these goals.
With respect to the areas in the proposed District which lay outside of
the I-25 M.U.D. , the District is in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan's
standards and goals for Public Facilities and Services. Under this section,
the Plan states at page 53 that one basic objective is to "plan and coordinate
18
1
a timely, orderly, and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services
to serve as a framework for rural and urban development." The Plan further
states that municipalities are considered to be the principal providers of
public services but that "alternative facility and service systems" (such as
special districts) may provide these services provided that (1) they comply
with the standards set forth in the Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and
Subdivision Regulations; and (2) if located within a municipal urban growth
area, the standards must be compatible with the municipality most likely to
annex the area so served.
Finally, the formation of the District would be in conformity with the
Plan's Public Facility and Service Goals (page 58) which are to:
I. Promote efficient and cost-effective delivery of public facilities
and services.
2. Require adequate facilities and services to assure the health,
safety and general welfare of the present and future residents of
Weld County.
C. Water Quality Management Plans
Section 32-1-203 (2.5) (c) , C.R.S. , suggests that the proposed District
and its facilities must be consistent with "county, regional or state long-
range water quality management plans" for the area. Although this requirement
exists primarily for sanitation districts, it can be stated that the Longs
Peak Water District will be in compliance with all county, regional and state
water quality management plans.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER ENTITIES
The Association is presently party to an agreement with one other
governmental entity regarding the provision of services.
19
1. CITY OF LONGMONT. On February 12, 1991 the Longmont City Council
approved an Agreement between Longs Peak Water Association/District which
addresses the issues of mutual concern regarding the formation and operation
of a Title 32 special district by Longs Peak Water District. The Longs Peak
Water Association Board of Directors approved this Agreement on February 14,
1991. A copy of this Agreement is attached as Exhibit B.
The Association has agreements with the following non-governmental
entities and these shall be assigned and delegated to (and assumed by) the
District:
2. SUBDIVISION AND OTHER SERVICE AGREEMENTS. The Association has
executed service agreements to service several existing subdivisions.
Although most of the platted lots have been developed and are currently being
serviced, there are undeveloped lots in several of the subdivisions. The
District will honor all of these previous service commitments.
3, COVENANTS AND EASEMENTS. Several of the Association's easements
also contain affirmative covenants running with the land, such as a covenant
to restore disturbed landscaping, etc. These agreements and responsibilities
will be assumed by the District.
4. WATER EXCHANGE AGREEMENT. In 1979, the Association, the Rough and
Ready Irrigating Ditch Company and the Pleasant Valley Reservoir, Fish and
Ditch Company executed an agreement which provides for the delivery of Big T
water through the Rough and Ready Ditch to Pleasant Valley's reservoir for
storage and use by the Association subject to the terms and conditions of
carriage and storage as set forth in the Agreement. The Association's rights
and obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned and delegated to the
District upon the consent of the other two parties.
20
20
DIRECTOR DISTRICTS
The District will be governed by a board of five (5) directors, elected
pursuant to state statute. The initial board will consist of two directors
who shall serve until the first special district general election after the
year of formation, and three directors who shall serve until the second
special district general election after the year of formation. Thereafter,
the terms of office shall be four years as provided by statute.
The three directors shall be electors of specific "director districts."
Two directors will be elected at large. The director district boundaries'
and designations are shown on the map labeled as Exhibit E.
ESTIMATE OF FORMATION COSTS AND EXPENSES
The following is an estimate of formation costs and expenses which will
be incurred by the Association prior to its dissolution as a non-profit
corporation. Any accrued but unpaid liabilities will be assumed by the
District.
Legal expenses: $7,500
Accounting: $1,000
Engineering: $10,400
Election: $4,000
Publication Fees: $1,000
Contract services: $ 750
Miscellaneous: $ 750
(postcards,
mailing, com-
puter lists
of property
owners, etc. )
' Although the directors will be required to be electors of specific
geographical areas, all electors of the District would be eligible to vote for
these directors pursuant to statute.

CONCLUSION
The Petitioners urge that this Service Plan be approved on the basis that:
* There is sufficient existing and projected need for
organized water service in the proposed District's service
area as demonstrated by the Association's existing members
and customers;
* Although the existing service by the Association is
adequate, the Association's structure is inadequate for the
projected needs of the area because of the higher costs of
operation as a non-profit corporation and the inability to
protect its assets (water rights, tangible property, and
customer service contracts) from encroachment by other
entities (existing or to be formed) ;
* The proposed District is functionally capable of providing
economical and sufficient service to the proposed service
area; and
* The area to be included in the proposed District has the
financial ability to discharge the proposed indebtedness on
a reasonable basis.

ACCOUNTANTS' COMPILATION REPORT
To Board of Directors
Longs Peak Water Association
Longmont, Colorado
We have compiled the accompanying forecasted balance sheets, statements of income aad
retained earnings and cash flows of Longs Peak Water Association as of November 30,
1991-1993 , and for the years then ending, in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A compilation of forecasted statements is limited to presenting in the four of a
forecast information that is the representation of management and does not include
evaluation of the support for the assumptions underlying the forecast. We have not
examined the forecast and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of
assurance on the accompanying statements or assumptions. Furthermore, there will
usually be differences between the forecasted and actual results, because everts and
circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be
material . We have no responsibility to update this report for events and circumstances
occurring after the date of this report.
The historical balance sheets as of November 30, 1987-1990 and the related statements
of income and retained earnings and cash flows of Longs Peak Water Association were
audited by us and we expressed unqualified opinions on them dated January 7, 1988 ,
January 20, 1989, January 19, 1990, and January 16, 1991, respectively. The historical
data is included for comparative purposes only. Management has elected to omit from
the 1987-1990 historical financial statements substantially all of the disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles. If the omitted disclosures were
included, they might influence the user's conclusions about the Association's financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Accordingly, the accompanying presentations are not designed for those who are not
informed about such matters.

LONGS PEAK WATER ASSOCIATION
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT FORECAST ASSUMPTIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Three Years Ending November 30, 1993
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF FORECASTS
This financial forecast presents, to the best of management's knowledge
and belief, the Association's expected financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for the forecast period. Accordingly, the
forecast reflects management's judgment as of February 20, 1991, the date
of this forecast, of the expected conditions and its expected course of
action. The assumptions disclosed herein are not all inclusive but are
those that management believes are significant to the forecast. There
will usually be differences between the forecasted and actual results ,
because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and
those differences may be material.
NOTE 2 - GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization. Longs Peak Water Association (Longs Peak) , a Colorado
non-profit corporation, was organized pursuant to Colorado Revised
Statutes Section 7-22-101 et sea. for the purpose of providing and
maintaining a system for the diversion, supply, storage, treatment and
distribution of water to its members in Boulder and Weld counties.
Basis of Accounting. The forecast uses the accrual method of
accounting that Longs Peak uses for financial statement reporting
purposes. In accordance with the accrual method of accounting, revenues
are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when the related
obligation is incurred.
Income taxes. The Association has been granted exemption from
federal income taxes as a non-profit corporation pursuant to code section
501(c) (12) of the Internal Revenue Code by the Internal Revenue Service.
Consequently, no provision for income taxes has been made in these
financial statements.
Nature of Operations During the Forecast Period. Longs Peak will seek
to become a special district under the laws of the State of Colorado
during 1991. However, management does not intend to assess a mill levy;
therefore, no property tax revenues have been included in the forecast.
Furthermore, no yearly increase in taps has been provided for in the
forecast, which has been prepared using the principal assumption that
Longs Peak will continue to operate substantially the same as it has over
the past several years. No rate increase for water users has been
included for the forecast period.

LONGS PEAK WATER ASSOCIATION
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT FORECAST ASSUMPTIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Three Years Ending November 30, 1993
NOTE 2 - GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Expenses. The following summarizes significant assumptions
for forecasted expenses other than interest.
1. The number of people employed by Long Peak Water
Association will remain at its present level throughout
the forecast period.
2. Depreciation expense has been calculated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets and will remain substantially
unchanged for the forecast period.
3. Other operating expenses will increase annually due
to inflation at the rate of approximately 5%
annually.
NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM LIABILITY
The accompanying forecast reflects the following long-term
liability:
First National Bank of Longmont. As of November 30, 1990, the
Association is indebted to the First National Bank of Longmont for a
total of $634,957. The note requires monthly payments of $8 ,604.58
including interest at 10% and matures on June 30, 2000. The note is
collateralized by the water shares, water distribution system, equipment,
improvements and general intangibles of the Association. The interest
rate charged by the bank may be reviewed and adjusted by mutual agreement
on June 30, 1993 and June 30, 1998.

EXHIBIT B
CITY OF LONGMONT AGREEMENT
° "m ',
DRAFT NO. 11
January 29, 1991
AGREEMENT REGARDING FORMATION OF WATER DISTRICT
I. PARTIES. The parties to this Agreement are the CITY OF LONGMONT, a
municipal corporation (City) , and LONGS PEAK WATER ASSOCIATION, a Colorado non-
profit corporation (Association) .
2. RECITALS AND PURPOSE. The Association operates a water system in rural
areas of Boulder and Weld Counties, including areas adjacent to the northern
corporate limits of the City. The Association is pursuing the formation of a
Title 32 water district to be known as Longs Peak Water District (District) which
will assume the functions, assets and liabilities of the Association and which,
pursuant to statute, will have defined boundaries. The proposed boundaries of
the District will include certain lands lying within the St. Vrain Valley
Planning Area (SVVPA) and within the Longmont Planning Area (LPA) . In addition,
the proposed boundaries of the District will include one area known as the
Northwest Acres Subdivision which is not within the corporate boundaries of the
City, but which is within the Municipal Service Area (MSA) . The City does not
oppose the formation of the District provided that its concerns are resolved to
its satisfaction with respect to future annexations of properties which may be
serviced by the District or which may be within District boundaries. The purpose
of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions upon which the
District will provide service to present and future water users as well as how
the District will respond to future annexations to the City of properties which
are, or may be, included in or serviced by the District. Accordingly, in
consideration of the mutual covenants, the parties agree to the terms and
conditions set forth in the following paragraphs.
3. CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/DISTRICT SERVICE PLAN. Attached as EXHIBIT A is a
current map depicting the current boundaries of the City' s SVVPA and LPA as
designated by the Longmont Area Comprehensive Plan. The Association recognizes
that certain properties which it currently services or which it may service lie
within the SVVPA and LPA, and that the Northwest Acres Subdivision which it
services lies within the City' s MSA. The service plan to be submitted to Boulder
and Weld Counties for the formation of the District shall have a copy of this
Agreement attached and the boundaries of the proposed District shall be drawn so
as to include, with respect to areas within the LPA, only those properties
currently serviced by the Association. Attached as EXHIBIT B is a map depicting
the proposed boundaries of the District. Attached as EXHIBIT C is a list of
those areas set forth by Section, Range, Township and County which this Agreement
may affect.
4. CONTINUATION OF SERVICE. The parties agree that any existing water service
provided by the Association, and subsequently by the District as its successor
in interest, to any property within the City' s LPA may continue until such time
as that property is annexed to the City. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
term "annexation" means when the annexation ordinance is recorded in the records
of Boulder County, Colorado and/or Weld County, Colorado, as applicable.
5. CITY'S RIGHT TO SERVE UPON ANNEXATION. Upon annexation by the City of
property served by the Association/District, the City, at its sole and absolute
discretion, subject to this Agreement, shall have the option of servicing such
property through its municipal water utility system as follows :

5.2 If an annexation petition is filed with the City
petitioniis/Dintsubstantialf Council
with
Section 31-12-107, Colorado
Revised Statutes, the City shall refer the annexation application to the
Association/District within 14 days of the City' s receipt of such applica-
tion. In addition, the City will provide the Association/District at least
25 days written notice of the date and time on which the City Council will
hold a public hearing on the annexation pursuant to Section 31-12-108(2) ,
Colorado Revised Statutes.

following shall occur:
6. 1 All raw water rights owned by the Association/District shall be
retained by the Association.
6.2 The City acknowledges that the District may require the property
owner which is seeking annexation to reimburse the Association/District an
amount equal to the total revenue received by the Association/District or
the 36-month period preceding the filing date of the annexation app
for each tap which will be disconnected from the Association/District' s
system as result of the annexation.
6.3 Unless the parties agree otherwise, theAssociation/District S) shall
convey to the City any existing water line(s) integrated
g the
the City in its sole
property annexed if such water line(s) is/are capable of being 9
into the City' s utility system, as determined by
discretion. The compensation

for such
line(s) and easement(s)

i
6.4 The Association/District shall retain whatever water lines and
easements in the property annexed it may require, if any, for the continued
operations of its remaining water system. Where feasible, both the City
and the Association/District may continue to jointly use those easements in
which both the City and the Association/District maintain water lines.
7. INCLUSIONS AND EXPANSION OF SERVICE. All future proposed inclusions of
properties and/or expansion of services by the Association/District within the
City' s existing LPA beyond those shown on the attached EXHIBIT B and beyond the
boundaries of the Northwest Acres Subdivision shall be subject to City' s prior
approval . Requests to the Association/District for service and/or petitions to
the Association/District for inclusions of properties lying within the existing
LPA shall be timely referred by the Association/District to the City for its
review within ten days of the Association/District' s receipt of such requests or
petitions . The City shall approve or disapprove the proposed inclusion within
45 days of such referral . The term "expansion of services" shall include the
addition of new taps on such parcels of property currently serviced by the
Association and the sale of new taps within the existing LPA. The purpose of
this referral process is to provide assurance to the City that a new development
immediately outside of its corporate limits can be evaluated to determine what
impacts such development will have on the City' s water system. The intent is not
to totally preclude the Association/District from extending or expanding water
service or to preclude any development in Boulder or Weld Counties . The
Association/District agrees to consult with the City regarding the appropriate
design, capacity and location of proposed new Association/District lines within
the LPA or the MSA in order to avoid the necessity of duplicating line construc-
tion in the future as additional development occurs. The Association/District
further agrees to permit the City to participate in the line capacity of any new
transmission line constructed by the Association/District within the LPA or the
MSA. Approval by City Council shall only be withheld on the grounds set forth
in Section 32-1-401 (1) (c) (II) , Colorado Revised Statutes, that is, that the City
will provide adequate water service to the real property described in the
petition for inclusion within a reasonable time and on a comparable basis .
8. CONSULTATION. Whenever any distribution lines owned and operated by the
Association/District within the City' s LPA or MSA are being replaced, expanded,
or added to, the Association/District agrees to consult with the City concerning
such replacement, expansion or addition to such lines . If the City agrees to
purchase such distribution lines (for the amount set forth in paragraph 11 . 1)
when the property under which they are located is annexed to the City, they shall
be designed to meet or, at the option of the Association/District, to exceed the
then applicable standards of the City, including fire flows. For the purposes
of this Agreement, a "distribution line" is a water line which is used to provide
water service to taps within a subdivision or within a defined area. For the
purposes of this Agreement, a "transmission line" is a water line which transmits
water for use in a grid or multiple area and which typically does not have taps
connected directly into it.
9. EXCLUSIONS FROM DISTRICT. In the event the District is formed, and upon
annexation by the City of property within the District, the City shall have the
right to condition annexation upon the submittal by the property owner of a
petition for exclusion from the District. The District agrees to timely process
and grant such exclusion petition subject to payment by the property owner of any
reimbursements required by the District/Association pursuant to paragraph 6.2
3 ii
above. In the event of unilateral annexations, the City and the District shall
stipulate to exclusion pursuant to proceedings initiated under Section 32-1-502,
Colorado Revised Statutes. The parties acknowledge that, under existing state
statutes, objecting property owner(s) may petition the court for an election on
the issue of continuation of services by the District, and that notwithstanding
the provisions of this Agreement, the parties are unable to agree to limit this
statutory right.
10. FUTURE EXPANSION OF LPA. In the event the City expands its LPA beyond the
boundaries set forth on EXHIBIT A and into the Association/District' s service
area as set forth on EXHIBIT B which may be further amended from time to time
hereafter, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern such expansion to the
extent that such provisions are applicable. In the event the provisions•of this
Agrements agree to meet, te goodefaithaco cernip �
re not ng issbues of mutual le, the econc confer
including but not dlimited ato:
�n
10.1 The options available to providing water to such properties using
existing infrastructures of the Association/District.
10.2 Terms and conditions of a new agreement or an addendum to this
Agreement.
11. COMPENSATION.
11 .1 The City shall compensate the Association/District an amount
reflecting the amortized value of any existing water line(s) serving
property annexed by the City if, as determined by the City in its sole
discretion, such water line(s) is/are integrated into the City' s domestic
water system. In the event that the parties cannot otherwise agree to the
amortized value of the water line(s) to be integrated into the City' s
system, the following presumption shall be applied by the parties in
deriving such value: a 40—year useful life shall be presumed and the
calculated son the nearest ed on lhalf year from he date f c cost to the AssociationDistrict, hall be
construction.
11 .2 In the event that the City determines to expand its LPA beyond the
boundaries set forth on EXHIBIT A and the Association/District has
developed water storage facilities, water treatment plants and transmission
facilities serving the area contemplated by the expanded LPA not existing
as of the date of this Agreement, prior to such expansion, the City shall
agree as a function of the expansion of its LPA to restore the Association/
District with such monies, based on original cost to the Association/
District, as remain unsatisfied which are attributable on a pro rata basis
to the area sought for expansion as may be required to recoup such capital
investment. Such amount shall be established and shall become due and
payable at the time of annexation and assumption of domestic water service
by the City.
12. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Agreement shall become effective upon its ratification
by the District following the District' s formation. If, for any reason, the
District is not formed, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith about
entering into an agreement between the City and the Association concerning the
matters set forth in this Agreement.

cl .''__. `a
13. TAP TRADES. In the event taps are traded between the Association/District
and the City, such trades shall not be governed by this Agreement. Such trades
shall be considered as separate agreements to be reached on a case-by-case basis.
It is understood by the parties that such trades are made for the mutual benefit
of the parties and neither party is considered damaged.
14. RATIFICATION BY SUCCESSOR SPECIAL DISTRICT. This Agreement shall be
incorporated into the service plan of the proposed District and, if formed, it
shall be ratified by the District' s initial board of directors . The District' s
failure to ratify shall constitute a material departure from the District ' s
service plan and injunctive relief may be obtained pursuant to Section 32-1-207,
Colorado Revised Statutes.
15. GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS. The service plan of the proposed District states
that the District intends to issue only revenue bonds and does not intend to
issue general obligation bonds. The Association/District acknowledges that any
plan by the District to issue general obligation bonds would constitute a
material modification to the service plan which would require the District to
comply with statutory procedures applicable to service plan modifications.
16. ARBITRATION. Any dispute arising under this Agreement which cannot be
resolved by the parties shall be submitted to arbitration in Longmont, Colorado,
by a board of three persons, one chosen by each party and the third by the two
persons previously chosen. The parties agree to abide by the decision of the
three-person board. If either party fails to choose a representative within ten
days after demand for arbitration, the decision of the person chosen by the other
party shall govern. The prevailing party may file such award with the Clerk of
the District Court of Boulder County who shall enter judgment thereon, and if
such award requires the payment of money, execution shall issue on such judgment.
17. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assigned or delegated except with
the prior written consent of the parties.
18. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for all purposes if

party to whom such notice is intended to be given at the address set forth on the
signature page below, or at such other address as has been previously furnished
in writing to the other party or parties. Such notice shall be deemed to have

incorporated in this Agreement for all purposes.

its obligations under this Agreement shall be excused if such delays or failure
are a result of acts of God, fires, floods, strikes, labor disputes, accidents,
regulations or orders of civil or miliary authorities, shortages of labor or
materials, or other causes, similar or dissimilar, which are beyond the control
of such party.
21. PARAGRAPH CAPTIONS. The captions of the paragraphs are set forth only for

binding upon, the parties, and their respective legal representatives,
successors, and assigns; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to permit the assignment of this Agreement except as otherwise
specifically authorized in this Agreement. Except as expressly provided for in
this Agreement, the parties, by entering into this Agreement, do not intend to
grant or confer any rights or benefits to or upon any third party.
27. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Colorado .
28. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is declared by an
arbitrator to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed
to be severable, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain fully
enforceable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted in all respects as if such
provision were omitted.

2.9.4 Field Pipe Coating for Buried Piping
(a) General : All pipe, fittings, valves and rodding, shall
be wrapped with 8 mil polyethylene, either tubing of
appropriate size or polyethylene sheet material . A 2-inch
wide, ten-mil thickness polyethylene pressure-sensitive tape
shall be used to close seams or hold overlaps.
Damage to polyethylene wrapped pipe in the trench prior to and
during backfill shall be repaired by the Applicant to the
satisfaction of the District.
In all cases the polyethylene shall be so applied as to pre-
vent the contact of backfill material with the pipe. Excess
polyethylene material shall be neatly folded and taped in
place so as to eliminate large voids or pockets under the
material .
(b) Line Pipe: Polyethylene pipe wrap material shall be
applied to line pipe in the following manner:
A precut length of tubing approximately 20 feet long shall be
used per 18 foot length of pipe. Before lowering into the
trench, tubing shall be slid over the bell end of the pipe,
and bunched behind the bell .
In the trench, the bell end of the pipe shall be raised clear
of the trench bottom, and the tubing stretched out along the
length of pipe. The surplus shall be bunched behind each end
of the length of pipe.
After each joint is made, tubing shall be pulled over the bell
end of the pipe, folded around the adjacent spigot end, and
wrapped circumferentially with pressure-sensitive tape.
Tubing on adjacent pipe barrel shall be pulled over the
polyethylene already covering the joint, folded behind the
bell and wrapped circumferentially with pressure-sensitive
tape.
Excess polyethylene material shall be drawn up around the pipe
barrel , folded neatly into an overlap on top of the pipe and
held in place by pressure-sensitive tape at three to five foot

4. INSTALLATION AND HANDLING PROCEDURES FOR PVC PIPE
Storage
PVC must be stored so as to be protected from prolonged heat or direct
sunlight. Any protective covering may be used which will not absorb much
heat and which will deflect the direct rays of the sun. Ventilation should
be provided with any type of cover used.
Handling Prior to Installation
All sizes of pipe from 1}" through 4" can easily be carried by one man
without dragging, which could cause damage by severe sratching. PVC has
good impact qualities but like all piping, damage can result from unne-
cessary blows imparted to the pipe during handling.
Trench Preparation
Trench depth for PVC pipe should be at least 48" or several inches below
maximum frost line, whichever is greater.
A narrow trench may be used for PVC push joint pipe but solvent weld pipe
requires snaking to allow for expansion or contraction; therefore, a wider
trench is necessary.
The bottom of the trench should be graded and sharp rocks and large clods
of dirt should be removed.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES FOR INSTALLATION OF PUSH JOINT POLYVINYL CHLORIDE
PLASTIC (PVC) PIPE AND FITTINGS:
(A) Inspect the Bell interior to make sure that there is no foreign
matter in the ring groove. Remove any accumulations of dirt, mud, etc. , by
washing with soap and water if necessary. Spigot should be thoroughly
clean, also.
(B) Set ring in groove insuring that the marked edge is toward the
outside.
(C) Apply lubricant to the spigot and bell end of the pipe. Do not use
lubricant other than that furnished by the manufacturer.
(D) After aligning the spigot with the bell , push spigot of pipe through
gasket with twisting motion. Push to a point where the stop mark stripe on
the spigot is just flush with the face of the bell .
Joint Deflection
Push joint pipe joint by design permits 2° deflection without bell distor-
tion. Fittings should be used to effect more extreme deflection. In no
case should the push joint be deflected more than 2°.
-36-
44 ,
f
dal
PVC pipe may be installed with gradual curves by deflecting the pipe
barrel , thus eliminating fittings. Generally, this procedure is workable
in size 4" and smaller. Minimum radius of curvature is as follows:
2" and under 100 feet
Over 2" 200 feet
Backfilling PVC Pipe
1. Cover the pipe with 6" layer of dirt, free of stones and hard clods of
dirt. In rocky soils, place a 4" layer of selected backfill on trench bot-
tom before adding first 6" layer of backfill .
2. Tamp well under and around pipe to give added support strength from
surrounding soil .
3. After first 6" of select and tamped backfill has been laid over the
pipe, pressure test as necessary and complete backfill using machines if
desired.
Pressure Testing PVC Pipe
Pressure testing can be accomplished after total backfilling or after first
six inches of backfill . (It is recommended that the latter method be used,
leaving joints exposed). With solvent weld pipe, pressure testing should
not occur until the pipe has had proper set up time as indicated. Push
joint pipe may be pressure tested immediately.
1. Bleed all air out of high and low points of line by totally filling
line with water using air bleed valves if necessary.
2. Pressure test pipe to 20 psi above working pressure by use of a pump.
If pressure holds on gauge pipe is tight. If pressure drops over 2 hours,
there is a leak which must be found and repaired.
3. Complete backfilling if joints have been left exposed.
NOTE: It is recommended that the manufacturers' stated maximum working
pressure not be exceed during pressure test.
Restrain push joint pipe by thrust blocking in event of the following
piping conditions:
(1) A change of diretion with the use of a Tee or Bend.
(2) Where valve and hydrant connections are made.
(3) Termination of lines (dead end).
CUTTING AND BEVELING PUSH JOINT PVC PIPE:
Push joint pipe can be cut in the field with the use of a hacksaw or a fine
toothed handsaw (6 to 10 teeth per inch ) , with little or no set. The cut
should be square and smooth. (The use of a rotary cutter or mitter box
will give the best results). ro
f _
-37-
,
The cut end should be beveled at an angle of 15° for push joint joints.
Various beveling tools are available but the use of a milled curve - tooth
flat file will suffice. To obtain the proper angle of bevel , use a factory
finished pipe end as a guide, rounding off the nose or the bevel slightly.
After the cut is made, a stop mark should be made with a pencil or crayon
by using another pipe in the field as a guideline.
CLOW RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR MAKING SOLVENT CEMENTED JOINTS WITH POLYVINYL
CHLORIDE PLASTIC (PVC) PIPE AND FITTINGS
Scope
The following procedure is recommended for making joints with polyvinyl chloride
plastic (PVC) pipes and fittings by means of solvent cements, sometimes called
solvent welding.
The techniques described herein can be used to produce strong pressure-tight
joints between PVC pipe and fittings, either in shop operations or in the field.
However, skill and knowledge on the part of the operator are required to obtain
a good quality joint. This skill and knowledge can be obtained by making joints
under the guidance of skilled operators and testing them until good quality
joints are obtained.
These procedures follow very closely those recommended by ASTM Committee D-20 as
proposed on August 4, 1967.
(A) Pipe and Fittings - The pipe and fittings should meet the requirements of
current applicable PVC piping standards. These standards are available
from your pipe supplier.
(6) Solvent Cement
1. Definition - A solvent cement is an adhesive made by dissolving the
plastic in suitable solvent or mixtures of solvents. The solvent cement
dissolves the surfaces of the coated pipes and fittings to form a con-
tinuous bond between the mating surfaces, provided the proper cement is
used for the particular materials and proper techniques are followed.
2. Specification - The solvent cement should meet all the requirments of
ASTM Tentative Specification for Solvent Cement for Polyvinyl Chloride
(PVC) Plastic Pipe and Fittings - ASTM Designation: D2564.
3. Storage - PVC solvent cements should be stored in a cool place except
when actually in use at the job site. These cements have a limited shelf
life when not stored in hermetically sealed containers.
The cement is unsuitable for use on the job if it exhibits an appreciable
change from the original viscosity, or if a sign of gelation is apparent.
Restoration of the original viscosity or removal of gelation by adding
solvents or thinners is not recommended.
(C) Cleaners - Cleaners, sometimes called primers, are of two types, chemicals
and mechanical (abrasives).
-38- 1
ni a -
1. Chemical Cleaners - The chemical cleaners are as follows:
a. Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)
b. Methyl isobutyle ketone (MIRK)
c. Tetrahydrofurane (THF)
d. Cyclohexanone
e. Dimethyl formamide (DMF ) mixed with THF
f. Cyclohexanone mixed with DMF
g. Acetone
2. Mechanical Cleaners - The mechanical cleaners are as follows:
a. Fine abrasive paper or cloth (180 grit or finer)
b. Clean, oil-free, steel wool .
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
1. Cutting the Pipe - Pipe is cut square with the axis, using a fine tooth
hand saw and a miter box, or a fine toothed power saw with a suitable
guide. Wood working blades may be used. A rotary cutter may be used if
the cutting blades are specifically designed for cutting plastic pipe in
such a way as not to raise a burr or ridge (flare) at the cut end of the
pipe. If other tools are not available, a standard rotary metal pipe
cutter may be used, provided great care is taken to remove all of the ridge
raised at the pipe end by wedging action of the cutting wheels. Failure to
remove the ridge will result in the cement in the fitting socket begin
scraped from the socket surface, producing a dry joint with a high probabi-
lity of joint failure. All burrs are to be removed with a knife, file,
reamer or abrasive paper.
2. Test Fit the Joint - Wipe both the outside of the pipe and the socket
of the fittings with a clean, dry cloth to remove foreign matter. Mate the
two parts without forcing. Measure and mark the socket depth of the
fitting on the outside of the pipe (do not scratch or damage pipe surface)
to indicate when the pipe end will be bottomed.
3. Joint Preparation - Surfaces to be joined should be clean and free of
moisture before application of the cement. The outside surface of the pipe
(for the socket depth ) and the mating socket surface shall be cleaned and
the gloss removed with one of the chemical cleaners listed on paragraph
C-1, applied with a moisture-free cloth. An equally acceptable substitute
is to remove the gloss from the mating surfaces (both pipe and socket) with
abrasive paper or steel wool . Wipe off all particles or abrasive and/or
PVC before applying the cement.
-39- 1
col^
4. Application of Cement
(A) Handling cement - Keep cement can closed and in shady place when not
actually in use. Discard the cement when an appreciable change in visco-
sity takes place, or at the first sign of gelation. The cement should not .
be thinned. (Note: A gel condition is indicated when the cement does not
flow freely from the brush or when the cement appears lumpy or stringy.
Keep brush wet when not in use, either in select thinner, cleaner or
cement).
(B) Brush size - The cement is applied with a natural bristle brush, using
1/2 inch brush for nominal pipe sizes } inch and less, 1 inch wide brush
for pipe up through 2 inch nominal pipe size, and brush width at least I of
nominal pipe size for sizes about 2 inch except for pipe sizes 5 inch and
larger, then a 2# inch brush is adequate.
(C) Application of Cement - PVC solvent cement is fast drying and there-
fore the cement shall be applied as quickly as possible, consistent with
good workmanship. It may be necessary for two workers to perform this
operation for larger sizes of pipe. Under conditions of high atmospheric
humidity, quick application is important to minimize condensation of
moisture from the air on the cement surface.
The surface temperature of the mating surfaces should not exceed 110
degrees F at the time of assembly. In sunlight on hot days, the pipe tem-
perature may be reduced by swabbing the surfaces to be cemented with clean,
wet rags provided all water is removed before the cement is applied.
First, apply a full even coat of cement to the pipe surface, to the depth
of the fitting socket. Next, apply a uniform, thin coating of cement to
the interior of any fitting socket, including the shoulder at the socket
bottom. Recoat the pipe with a second uniform coat of cement, including
the cut end of the pipe.
5. Assembly of Joint - Immediately after applying the last coat of cement to
the pipe, insert the pipe into the fitting until it bottoms at the fitting
shoulder. Turn the pipe or fitting } turn during assembly (but not after
the pipe is bottomed) to evenly distribute the cement. Assembly should be
completed within 20 seconds after the last application of cement. The pipe
should be inserted with a steady even motion. Hammer blows should not be
used. If there is any sign of drying of the cement surfaces due to delay
in assembly, the surfaces should be recoated, taking care again not to
apply a surplus of cement to the inside of the socket. As large axial for-
ces are necessary for the assembly of interference fit joints in large size
pipe, two or more men are needed for such joints. Mechanical forcing
equipment - "Come-alongs", or levers and braces may also be necessary.
Until the cement is set in the joint, the pipe may back out of the fitting
socket if not held in place for approximately one minute after assembly.
6. Set time - Handle the newly assembled joints carefully until the cement has
gone through the set period. Recommended set time is related to tem-
perature as follows:
-40-
7 O
30 minutes minimum from 60 to 100 degrees F
1 hour minimum from 40 to 60 degrees F
2 hours minimum from 20 to 40 degrees F
4 hours minimum from 0 to 20 degrees F
7. Placing - After the set period, the pipe can be carefully placed in pre-
pared ditch and snaked from side to side. Prior to backfilling, the pipe
shall be brought to approximate operating temperature by either shade back-
filling, or by filling with water, or by allowing to stand overnight. The
pipe system should be allowed to stand vented to the atmosphere prior to
pressure testing. The set period before the system is pressure tested will
depend on, other than the specific cement, the size of the pipe, the
ambient temperature, and the dry-joint tightness. For most cases, 48 hours
is considered to be a safe period for the pipe system to be allowed to
stand vented to the atmosphere before pressure testing. Longer periods are
required for law temperatures, large size pipes, and loose joints. Shade
backfill , leaving all joints exposed so that they can be examined during
pressure test. On long runs pressure tests should be performed on sections
no longer than 5,000 feet. Test pressure should be 150% of design pressure
or follow the requirements of the applicable code, whichever is higher, but
in no case should the recommended working pressure be exceeded.
CAUTION:
1. It has been determined that explosions occur when granular calcium
hypochlorite, a common bactericide, algaecide, or chloronation agent, is
used in solvent weld PVC lines. This calcium hypochlorite reacts violently
with the solvent weld materials under certain field conditions.
2. When solvent welded PVC pipe is used, granular calcium hypochlorite
should not be used in the system until it has been dissolved in water.
