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.
The committee of Hondius water users to help oversee this project has asked that each user (i.e. one fee for each home/cabin/household that is hooked up to the Hondius system) pay $200 for this purpose. This amount has a contingency included as there are likely to be a few owners that we will be unable to find or will not participate; however, we feel this is an extremely important project and one that will benefit us all. If there are excess funds in the end, the excess will be distributed back to those that have paid the fee. As a result, we are requesting that each user contribute $200 payable to the Hondius Water User Group.
