|
| Date | Summary of Changes |
|---|---|
| July 7, 2017 | The Board of Directors approved a series of changes to Rules and Regulations (Article 7), Doing Business with Us and the Fee Schedule to implement the Infrasgructure Equity Fee and improved descriptions of how the District works with its members. |
| March 8, 2010 | The Board of Directors approved a Budget Billing process to ease the impact of higher water service bills often encountered during the summer watering season. The process may be found on the Doing Business with Us page. |
| January 11, 2010 | Revised the Non-District Resident portion of the "Doing Business with Us" page, because it misstated that an owner must purchase a tap from the District for the Inclusion Petition to be approved. This was in conflict with the Rules and Regulations. The wording was changed to point out that there is a risk that a water tap might not be available at a date later than when the owner was "Included" within the District, and that this risk is totally the responsibility of the owner, and not the District. |
| December 4, 2008 | Revised the Water Service Delivery Change Request form instructions, indicating that two (2) are the minimum number of months to temporarily shut-off water delivery on the Forms and Reports page. The Water Service Delivery Change fee was added to the District Fees section of the Financial Information page. |
| October 31, 2008 | The new web site continues to be implemented. The Forms and Reports page was updated with the Water Tap Permit form, Cross-Connection Agreement, Water Service Delivery Change Request form added, along with detailed descriptions. The Financial Information page has been updated with all District fees specified by the Rules and Regulations. Clarified the Water Tap process. |
| June 19, 2008 | Implementation of the new web site. The web site has been completely restructured for easy access to expanded information. Some sections are under additional development and will be added as they are completed. The reader is encouraged to bring to the attention of the District's web master any confusing information, discrepancies, or errors found, or any information that should be added. |
In the first several years of the District's existence, the Directors created newsletters, called Water News, to inform residents of the District on what was happening. They would be periodically included with monthly bills. With the growth of the web site, it has been decided that the District would no longer distribute the Water News, and instead, would post all information on this web site. On the Home page, the News Alerts topic will indicate where the new information may be found (that would have been in a newsletter).

In Memory of EBCWD Board Member William "Bill"
Hofgard
Long-time East Boulder County Water District
Board member, William Glenn "Bill" Hofgard died
July 30, 2020 of natural
causes. He was 88.
Bill began his career in insurance. Designated a Charter Life Underwriter and Chartered Financial Consultant, in 1972 he founded the insurance and consulting firm Hofgard & Co. Later in 1986, Bill founded Benefit Plan Administrators, Inc., which just five years later was named to the Inc. 500 list, Inc. magazine's annual recognition of the nation's 500 fastest-growing companies which he sold in 1992 to California-based Admar Corp. Bill was named to the Boulder County Business Hall of Fame in 2014 in recognition of his long and distinguished career.
Bill served on the East Boulder County Water
District Board for two terms over an eight-year period and stepped down
in April of this year. He
was always deeply involved and active in the community and his tenure on
EBCWD was no exception.
Congratulations
on
Frank Hauke and H.O. (Dick) Winters
Retirement
The Board of Directors for the East Boulder County Water District and the various contractors providing services to the District would like to express our appreciation to our District’s Operators, Frank Hauke and Dick Winters, on their retirement. We acknowledge their commitment and hard work as they have maintained our system and its predecessor, the Panorama Park (PPMWA) system, for decades. We will certainly miss their dedication, experience and camaraderie.
Frank and Dick
have been key participants in the building of the East Boulder County
Water District. Their knowledge of the existing Benchmark Estates and
Apollo Estates community well and distribution system were critical to
the integration of these systems into the new East Boulder County Water
District. Frank was a regular participant in our District's formation
committee meetings, providing a wealth of both technical and historical
knowledge.
§ Dick loved
tinkering, and was particularly proud of those system components that
he’d built himself from scavenged or low-cost parts. Some of these were
legendary, for example, the apparatus that flashed a bright light in the
pump station window when the water pressure got too low. The homeowner
across the street could see the flashing light and alert the operators
of the trouble.
In those days
regulations were fewer and budgets were tighter. It’s impossible to say
what the PPMWA members would have had to pay to outside service
providers, over those many years, if not for the largely-voluntary
efforts of Dick and Frank.
The vote to form
EBCWD in 1999 must have been bittersweet for both Dick and Frank— on the
one hand it offered a chance to participate in the building of a
brand-new water system; on the other hand, the new water system would
replace decades of their handiwork. The construction of the East Boulder
County Water District system drew heavily on their generosity of time
and expertise. They provided advice to the engineers and served as the
District’s “boots on the ground” to observe the work of the contractor.
After the system went into operation in September 2001, they were hired
as the official system operators—they were able to continue their
regular walks around the District, reading the meters and keeping an eye
out for the inevitable problems.
The Board members, the various contractors for the District, and the District’s customers have counted on the detailed knowledge and operational experience that Frank and Dick possess. They have been patient and very helpful to and welcoming of new members that have joined the Board and as new contractors have been engaged by the Board. We are all grateful that they will continue to make themselves available as a knowledge resource as the District moves forward without their day-to-day involvement.
Again, the Board, customers and contractors have been indebted to Dick and Frank for years and wish them well in their retirement.
