Recap of 8/16 Hondius Water Users meeting in Estes Park
To: Hondius Water Users
For those of you who were unable to attend, we held the Hondius Water Users meeting August 16th at the Museum in Estes Park. We had 60-70 people in attendance and they voted unanimously in favor of proceeding with the next step in the process of replacing the Hondius lines, which is obtaining a preliminary engineering study. If you have any questions, you can send them to the committee here.
Based on this very positive response from the group of fellow Hondius water users, we are soliciting a matching grant from the State for the cost of the preliminary engineering study, which is estimated to total approximately $24,000. In anticipation of receiving that grant, the remaining cost to the Hondius users will be approximately $12,000. As a result, we need to collect that amount from the Hondius users group.
A homeowners meeting was held at the Estes Park Museum on August 16, 2014 to discuss the project and to vote on whether to move forward.
The meeting was attended by approximately 60 Hondius water users. Also in attendance were Jeff Boles, Town of Estes Park Water Superintendent, and Rod Harr, Senior Civil Engineer of Landmark Engineering. Ed Schemm, Larimer County Assistant Director of Environmental Health, was unable to attend, but provided a summary of the process of obtaining funding from the Drinking Water Revolving Fund, which was provided to those in attendance.
