CWSP Webinar, OCCT Stakeholder Notification, POND happy hour and more Colorado Water Congress Fact Sheet In preparation for Colorado's general election, we have created a Colorado Water Congress fact sheet that we have provided to candidates. The purpose of our fact sheet, is to provide candidates with information on who we are as an organization, what we do, and to bridge the gap between Colorado's new administration and the water community. Below you can also find the Colorado Water Plan Fact Sheet, and the Interbasin Compact Committee Candidate letter. Colorado Water Congress Fact Sheet Colorado's Water Plan Fact Sheet IBCC Candidate Letter CWSP Webinar Recording Yesterday, the CWC hosted a webinar on the Colorado Water Stewardship Project in anticipation of the November 2018 ballot. The purpose of the project is to ensure that CWC members and water stakeholders from around the state are prepared for nay ballot initiatives that might be of interest to the Colorado Water Community. During this webinar, our panelists reviewed Amendment 71 and the Stream Access Litigation case, and the status of the political environment. We were also joined by the Farm Bureau and a representative from the Water Quality/Quantity Committee of the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments who provided input on Proposition 112 (Initiative 97), Setback Requirements for Oil and Gas Development, and Amendment 74 (Initiative 108), Just Compensation for Reduction in Fair Market Value by Government Law or Regulation.

Optimal Corrosion Control Treatment The Water Quality Control Division - Department of Public Health and Environment is hosting two stakeholder processes related to the optimal corrosion control drinking water treatment required for Denver Water: 1) the drinking water provider stakeholder process, and 2) the wastewater and watershed stakeholder process. The drinking water provider stakeholder process will review work by the technical workgroup that is developing objectives and protocols, data, modeling and analysis pertaining to additional corrosion control studies underway by Denver Water. Denver Water may use the study data to support a request to the department to modify its optimum corrosion control treatment in accordance with the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations. The wastewater and watershed stakeholder process will focus on wastewater and watershed issues and most likely include several subgroups focusing on developing and implementing plans to identify, monitor, and/or mitigate potential impacts of orthophosphate.
