Time: 3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. – Current Hondius system users – Annual Meeting
4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. – Public meeting – All interested parties
Location: Town of Estes Park Board Room
Address: 170 MacGregor Avenue, Estes Park, Colorado
Topic: Updated Improvement Plan for the Hondius Water Distribution System
A public meeting will be conducted for the purpose of informing citizens of the Hondius Water System located in Larimer County and soliciting public input, written or oral, regarding a plan to replace the existing Hondius water distribution system with a new system capable of providing water from the Town of Estes Park on a year-around basis. The plan could also include non-Hondius users in the High Drive area in close proximity to the line, who would like to be included in the project.
The discussion will include a presentation of a plan to obtain funding through the Town of Estes Park from the USDA, the proposed replacement system, an estimate of the costs involved, and the plan to finance the improvements with the loan to be repaid over a forty year period. A meeting of the current Hondius Water Users Association (HWUA) members will precede the public meeting from 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. to elect Board members for the HWUA. This election of Board members will allow the HWUA to enter into an agreement with the Town and the Town will file an application with the USDA Rural Development for financial assistance to develop the Hondius water distribution system.
Additional interested parties should join the current Hondius water users to attend the public meeting beginning at 4:00 p.m. The meetings will be held in the Town’s Board Room at the Town facilities between the library and Bond Park.
