Body
Summary:
Colorado Springs Utilities (Springs Utilities) seeks approval of a Resolution approving an amended Sewage Treatment and Disposal Agreement for the Lower Fountain Metropolitan Sewage Disposal District.

Background:
The Lower Fountain Metropolitan Sewage Disposal District (LFMSDD) was established in 1985 for purposes of providing regional wastewater treatment service to its members (originally, Fountain Sanitation District and Colorado Centre Metropolitan District). In 2016, the City of Colorado Springs became a member of LFMSDD and a party to the then-current Service Agreement, which was approved by the Colorado Springs City Council along with the inclusion by ordinance on behalf of Springs Utilities for the portion of the City of Colorado Springs within Banning Lewis Ranch located south of Drennan Road.

LFMSDD and its members have proposed updates to the Service Agreement to provide clarity on the inclusion area and to update capacity allocations and other miscellaneous definitions and provisions as presented at the January Springs Utilities Board meeting.
