 For
Women Only
Please do not flush feminine hygiene products of any type down toilets.
Both pads and tampons clog the lift stations that carry water to
the water treatment plants. The lifts then need to be dismantled
and unclogged by hand. This has occurred five times in the past
few months.
For
Everyone
Please do not flush any foreign substance down the toilet. Our sewer
system is not a gravity-flow system, and requires lifts to carry
the water to the treatment facility. Pieces of plywood, among other
strange items, have caused havoc by clogging the lifts. Please be
considerate, and use the trash cans! Thank you.

All residents
of CPN should have received a postcard from the Metro District explaining
changes to the Residential Rates paid for water. The minimum service fee,
and the usage charge up to 12,000 gallons, along with the sanitary sewer
charge, WILL NOT CHANGE this year. Rates will remain at $24.00 for sewer
and $17.50 for water up to 3,000 gallons; and $1.80 per thousand gallons
from 3,001 to 12,000 gallons.
However,
water usage from 12,001 to 25,000 gallons will change from $2.20 to $2.35
per thousand gallons. Water usage in excess of 25,001 gallons will increase
from $3.00 to $5.00 per thousand gallons.
Outside District
residential rates (Hidden Pointe) will also remain the same up to 12,000
gallons ($30 for sewer, $21.90 for water up to 3,000 gallons, and $2.25
per thousand gallons from 3,001 to 12, 000 gallons used). But usage higher
than 12,001 will change from $2.75 to $2.94 per thousand gallons, and
water usage in excess of 25,001 gallons will increase from $3.75 to $6.25
per thousand gallons.

Metro District
Manager Judy Dahl said CPN residents should expect mandatory restrictions
this watering season. "We are currently developing a policy and a
recommended watering schedule to present to the [Metro District] Board
in February," she said.
The Castle
Pines North Metro District will be paying close attention to Denver and
other metro districts when determining the extent of the restrictions.
"If Denver goes totally no watering, well, we'll try not to go that
way," Judy said, noting that our water lies beneath us in deep aquifers,
which is a different situation from Denver's. Last summer's restrictions
on watering were voluntary.
Notice of
this year's policy on watering will be sent out in early April.
