On a per unit basis, the District's cost of service is significantly higher than the per unit cost in larger districts and municipalities. The District is investigating the feasibility of obtaining treatment service from other entities. Denver's Foothills Water Treatment Plant is located adjacent to the District. The Littleton-Englewood and Centennial Water and Sanitation District wastewater treatment plants are located within a reasonable distance down stream from the District's wastewater treatment plant. Obtaining treatment service from an outside entity would provide long-term economic and operational benefits to the District.

A significant concern with respect to the potential for outside treatment service is the timing of potential treatment agreements compared to the District's need to expand its existing treatment facilities. Before other arrangements for treatment can be made, the District's capital costs would increase significantly above current estimates.
