Title
A Resolution Regarding Certain Changes to the Natural Gas Service Boundary
Presenter:
Travas Deal, Chief Executive Officer, Colorado Springs Utilities
Body
Summary:
Springs Utilities is bringing forward a proposed Resolution regarding certain changes to Colorado Springs Utilities’ natural gas service boundary across Sterling Ranch.
Background:
The affected territory is outside of the City limits, and currently there are no current gas customers in the territory. The current natural gas service boundary across Sterling Ranch does not follow the platted and soon to be platted parcel borders. In response to the developer’s request for a practical natural gas service boundary, Springs Utilities and Black Hills Colorado Gas, Inc. (Black Hills) successfully worked together to agree upon revisions to their respective natural gas service boundaries that extends the principles of the previously approved 2023 Sterling Ranch area boundary adjustment. Future customers in the affected territory will be served by Colorado Springs Utilities. Per City Charter 6-70, City Council establishes Springs Utilities’ “extension policies”, including the establishment of Springs Utilities’ service territory boundaries, by resolution. As the affected territory is outside of the City’s municipal boundary, finalizing this boundary change also requires Colorado Public Utilities Commission approval.
