The City of Westminster worked with the cities of Northglenn and Thornton to update the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) regarding the care and use of Standley Lake, a drinking water source for more than 300,000 people in the north metro area.
According to the amended IGA:
As the primary owners of water rights in Standley Lake, the cities of Westminster, Thornton and Northglenn have long been and continue to be close partners in the operation of this key asset.
“Westminster and Northglenn both rely on the lake as their sole drinking water supply, and it represents a significant portion of Thornton’s water supply,” said City Manager Don Tripp. “This important agreement will ensure that hundreds of thousands of people in our community continue to have a reliable, healthy water supply while also maximizing allowed recreational opportunities at this regional-park and wildlife refuge.”
The amended IGA was approved by City Council on Monday, Nov. 9. It was approved by Northglenn City Council on Oct. 26. The amended IGA will be considered by Thornton’s City Council for final approval later this month.
