Water and Sewer Board - 13 Oct 2026

The Englewood Water and Sewer Board’s October 13, 2026 meeting (the metadata timestamp is October 14 UTC) approved several water, sewer, and stormwater funding items. The board approved Englewood’s $600,000 contribution to a Mile High Flood District study, which would unlock an additional $600,000 for a future Englewood project, for a total of $1.2 million. It also approved a 2026 stormwater budget supplemental covering the Old Hampden utilities project and proportional stormwater allocations for service-center and Allen Water Treatment Plant improvements. For waterline redundancy and stormwater design work near the Allen plant, the board approved a contract of approximately $371,000 plus a 10% staff-managed contingency of about $37,000, for total authorization of approximately $408,000. The transcript did not identify the selected design contractor by name.

The board tabled until its November meeting a decision on proposed water-rate changes: a third residential usage tier and removal of the declining rate for high-volume nonresidential users in favor of a flat rate. Public commenters raised concerns about fairness to homeowners and the distribution of conservation costs; no rate change was approved at this meeting. Staff also reported that lead-line replacement work was nearing completion and that Old Hampden stormwater construction was expected to take another four to six weeks because of utility conflicts and a sewer-line issue.
