The Town sought a preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo after filing a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD). While we are disappointed in the Courtʼs ruling, we respect its decision. The breach of contract lawsuit remains active, and this ruling represents just one step in a longer legal process. We look forward to presenting our case fully at trial. In the meantime, and out of respect for the Courtʼs order, the Town has paid Central Weld the disputed portion of the water charges and will stay current from this point forward. The Townʼs position is that CWCWD has breached the terms of the existing Water Service agreement by unilaterally changing the methodology for billing the Town. CWCWD has been billing the Town for both water consumption and the monthly minimum charge, despite the agreement specifying that it should only be billed for the greater of the two amounts. The Town will continue to work on behalf of Firestone rate payers to keep costs as low as possible. Part of that effort is ensuring that the Town, and by extension, our residents, are billed accurately and fairly.
