The East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District plans to spend $127 million to bring more water to it's customers, according to the Rocky Mountain News [December 19, 2003, "Suburbs plan $127 million water system"]. From the article, "But the deal is pricey. To cover the $127 million price tag, the district will double tap fees on new homes during the next 10 years, bumping them from $12,000 to $24,000, according to Dave Kaunisto, manager of the East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District. The district will also raise an existing $19 water-replacement fee on the base bills of current residents to $22."
Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [December 19, 2003, "Aurora district to pay $75 million for Brighton firm's water rights"]. From the article, "The complicated deal will include the transfer of 3,000 acre- feet of water now used to irrigate a 20,000-acre Weld County ranch to the East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District, along with 2,000 acre-feet sold by members of the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Co."
