FROM: Margaret Medellin, Utilities Portfolio Manager
THRU: Scott Miller, Director of Public Works;

DATE OF MEMO: March 22, 2019
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2019
RE: Status of Aspen’s Integrated Water Supply System
REQUEST OF COUNCIL: During today’s work session, staff will provide Council a status
update on the City’s Integrated Water Supply System (IWSS), which includes its watersheds,
distribution network, operational and management strategies and projects designed to increase
the reliability of this system. Staff also seeks Council feedback on the Stage II Water Shortage
Ordinance currently in effect and refinement of the next steps to repeal or reaffirm this ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The City Utilities Department is responsible for assuring Aspen has a safe,
legal and reliable water supply, now and into the future. To this end, the City has developed an
Integrated Water Supply System (IWSS) which coordinates a portfolio of water supply options,
management techniques and operational strategies. Many variables are included in managing this
portfolio, including changing climate conditions, water demand patterns and system efficiency.
DISCUSSION: Important areas of the IWSS will be discussed at this work session.
2019 State of Aspen’s Watersheds
Last year at this time, Aspen (along with large areas in the West) was experiencing a critically
dry year, with snowpack peaking at 13.6” of Snow Water Equivalents (SWE) at the
Independence Pass SNOTEL site. During the current water year, snow has accumulated close to
median values. March, however; has been a pivotal month bringing abrupt increases in snowpack
to our region, as well as the rest of the state (see attachment A: Colorado SNOTEL Map March
21, 2019). Snowpack in the Roaring Fork Watershed measured 155% on March 20, 2019 (see
attachment B: Roaring Fork Conservancy Snowpack and River Report).
As a result of this above median snowpack coupled with certain weather and climate conditions,
Aspen experienced avalanches in both Maroon and Castle Creek watersheds. These avalanches
threatened Aspen’s ability to provide a water supply to its customers. Utility staff were mobilized
P2

to clear and maintain headgates. Utility staff also closely monitored conditions and adjusted the
draw of supply from each creek as conditions changed throughout the avalanche events.
Drought Conditions
Much of the State of Colorado remains activated for drought, including Pitkin County. The State
Drought Task Force will convene on April 1, 2019 to provide recommendations to the Governor
on the 2019 drought response. Generally, the State is conservative in removing a drought
declaration, although with recent drastically improved conditions, they are taking a ‘cautiously
optimistic’ position.
Aspen remains in a Stage II Water Shortage, which imposes mandatory water use restrictions on
Aspen’s customers. When appropriate, Council must pass a Resolution to remove these water
shortage conditions.
The City activated its Drought Task Force, which includes cross-departmental staff that meet
regularly to discuss drought conditions and the City’s response. The Task Force determined the
following key dates for Council to consider in its drought response this year:
Target Date Meeting
4-1-2019 CO State Drought Task Force meeting to discuss Drought Declaration status
4-3-2019 Aspen Drought Task Force meeting to discuss drought response
recommendations for Council
4-22-2019 Council to discuss drought and potential Resolution for Water Shortage Stage
change
10-2019 Aspen Drought Task Force to provide revised Title 25 Draft Language based
on Lessons Learned from 2018 Drought Response
Watershed Monitoring Efforts
Recent studies identified the present level of watershed data as a significant vulnerability in
Aspen’s IWSS. In response, staff has implemented additional monitoring in Aspen’s watersheds.
These efforts include:
· USGS stream gage stations installed on Maroon Creek;
· USGS stream gage station installed on Roaring Fork River in collaboration with the
Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District;
· USGS stream gage stations being planned for 2019 on Castle Creek in collaboration with
Pitkin County;
· Procurement of soil moisture and climate monitoring station for the Castle Creek
watershed in collaboration with the Aspen Global Change Institute;
· Collaboration with the National Center for Atmospheric Research on changing climate
conditions in high elevation watersheds;
· Collaboration with the National Snow and Ice Data Center on LiDAR use for determining
water content of snow supply.

Alternative Transfer Methods
Alternative Transfer Methods (ATMs) are a relatively new concept in Colorado that allow for
temporary transfers of water that fit within the parameters of Colorado Water Law and do not
injure water rights’ holders. The State believes ATMs can be beneficial to municipal water
supplies, rural communities and the environment. The City, Western Resource Advocates and
Wilderness Workshop have been exploring the potential of implementing ATMs in the Upper
Roaring Fork Basin to benefit Aspen’s water supplies and local ecosystems. Jointly, this group
held a workshop in Aspen on October 30, 2018 to learn from experts in this area. Subsequently,
the same group solicited for a consultant to develop a Scope of Work for submission to the
Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) for a grant to pursue an ATM project. The
consultant team, led by Western Water Partnerships, successfully bid on this project. Work has
begun, and a grant request is anticipated to be submitted to the CWCB at its July 2019 Board
meeting.
Aspen Water Meter Replacement Grant
On March 11, 2019 Council approved a contract for the implementation of Advanced Metering
Infrastructure (AMI) for both the City’s Water and Electric Utilities. This advanced technology
will provide many benefits to the City and its customers, including improved management of
water supply and use. Some customers will require new meters to comply with the new AMI
technology. Staff have applied for a federal grant with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for
assistance with expenses related to these meters. At its April 8, 2019 meeting, Council will be
presented with a Resolution supporting this grant application.
Castle and Maroon Creek Conditional Water Storage Rights
Today, the City’s primary source of stored water is snowpack, which varies significantly from
year to year. Aspen uses direct flow rights from Maroon and Castle Creeks, which are diverted to
the Leonard Thomas Reservoir located at Aspen’s Water Treatment Facility, treated, and then
delivered to Aspen customers. The Leonard Thomas Reservoir is an operational reservoir with a
capacity of 9 acre-feet, which is less than a day of storage during peak summer use. Storage
reservoirs, however, can retain water from season to season and year to year, and can provide
water supplies even during times of shortage. The City’s lack of storage presents significant
vulnerabilities during events such as fire or avalanches as there is no buffer or back-up system
when these two headgates are threatened. In addition, climate change has resulted in altered
hydrology that introduce further vulnerabilities into our water supply now and into the future.
In recognition of these vulnerabilities, the City has maintained two conditional water storage
rights on Castle and Maroon Creeks. Applications for findings of reasonable diligence were
timely filed in the Division 5 Water Court for the Maroon Creek Reservoir (Case No.
16CW3128) and Castle Creek Reservoir (16CW3129). Statements of opposition were filed to
both applications. The City and opposers reached agreement on these cases and are currently
seeking a decree of due diligence from the Colorado Water Court. The Judge in this case
requested additional information. Aspen has prepared this information and it is being reviewed
by the opposers. We anticipate submitting this to the Court by April 19, 2019. Our next
conference with the Court is April 25, 2019.

FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: Work included in this status update is within the current
2019 budget authority.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: The City is committed to reducing its footprint (carbon and
water) and fighting climate change, but even with this effort and action the City recognizes that it
is best practice to plan for a future that looks very different than today. The City’s efforts to
monitor, manage and improve its Integrated Water Supply System is necessary to ensure the
City’s resiliency.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: This presentation is intended to be informational and no formal
action is requested of Council.

Editor's note—Ord.No. 50-1992, § 1,repealed the provisions of former Arts. I and II,relative to liquor
licensing and beer licensing and enacted a new Art. I (Chapter 5.04) to read as herein set out. Ord. 50-
1992 further renumbered former Arts. III and IV as Arts. II and III (Chapters 5.08 and 5.12). The
provisions of former Arts. I and II derived from Ord.No. 35-1978, § 1.
Sec.5.04.010. Legislative intent.
The City Council hereby declares that the purpose of this Chapter is to protect the public health,
safety and welfare by requiring all persons desiring to sell or offer for sale any liquor or 3.2 beer to be
licensed by the City. The City Council intends that the City issue local licenses for sale of such
beverages, as authorized by state law and that the City's licensing requirements be consistent with those
for state licenses under state law. The City Council desires to promote responsibility in the consumption
of malt, vinous and spirituous liquors by its citizens and guests. The City Council's mission for the
separate local Local Licensing Authority is to ensure (a) that the needs of the community for licensed
premises are measured by free market economic forces and not arbitrary numerical limitations on new
licenses; (b)that the privacy rights of licensees and applicants of liquor license are fairly balanced against
the Authority's investigatory responsibilities; and (c) that educational efforts be implemented before
enforcement activity is undertaken whenever educational efforts are deemed appropriate and necessary.
The City Council desires that the separate Local Licensing Authority carry out its mission in as
streamlined a fashion as possible and that it seek to avoid the creation of new and burdensome paperwork
for either the City or its citizens. (Code 1971, §4-1; Ord. No. 50-1992, § 1; Ord.No. 8-1994, § 1)

properties?
After Referendum 1 passed any variance outside of the Land Use Code expanding height,mass,
reduced set backs and/or greater FAR requires voter approval.During the building moratorium of 2016
our land Use Code was"down-zoned"and the twenty-eight foot heigh restriction for buildings in the
commercial core was created.In addition to electing officials to City Council,community members can
join volunteer commissions. For properties that have been added to the historic registry any changes
require HPC approval.
II
What are your skills or knowledge that will help improve the commission?
As both an Aspen local and real estate professional I feel my knowledge of what it is to live in the City
and Interact in the professional space of explaining Aspen and welcoming new citizens in would be a
i valuable contribution to the discussion on P&Z.
L
What is your general philosophy on the Aspen Area Community Plan?
The majority of the themes in the 2012 plan remain relevant in 2019.1 am a strong proponent of
maintaining Aspen's historical character while balancing local commerce and the environment.
Maintaining the connection to nature while maximizing urban density,smart transit,job creation,
environmentally responsible policies aro priorities for me along with a sustainable economy in Aspen.
i
This is a volunteer position that sometimes requires a lot of time and there is no compensation,how will you be able to
commit to this?
I have been hesitant to join another volunteer board,hoping for the opportunity to serve on P and Z.I
see this as a valuable contribution to the community and I would happily dedicate the space in my
1 schedule volunteering my time to the commission.

I desire the appointment for the following reasons:*
Next Gen Advisory Board,
I have wanted to move to Aspen since first visiting here in 2002 and finally realized that dream in March 2018.Since arriving
in Aspen,two things have surpassed my wildest expectations. First,the weather is incredible year-round.Second,and most
importantly,the people. In less than one year since arriving,my fiancb and 1 have built close relationships with so many
friends and colleagues.We talk about how amazing the people are here almost every day.
I have also been extremely lucky in continuing my career in Aspen.Quitting a job I loved in my hometown to move to Aspen
was only made possible because of a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity. Not everyone who wants to move to,or continue
living in,Aspen are that lucky.And that is very unfortunate.It shouldn't take that type of luck for people who want to be here.
But the reality of housing and living costs in Aspen make that very challenging,especially for young people.
Now that my flanck and I live here,we will never live anywhere else.1 feel a great amount of responsibility to help improve a
place that I love and has been so great to me.That is why I want to join the Next Gen Advisory Board.
Thank you,
Hams
