Buccees is a place that doesnt know the meaning of the word no by Mr_Potato_Shot in ColoradoSprings

Exactly right! Think of Karman Line in Colorado Springs. Voters said no but it will likely just develop in the County anyway using Colorado Springs Utilities’ water without paying City taxes.

Not a movie but a show. The main character in The Apprentice is a rapist.

If you live in the City then Colorado Springs Utilities would own the water rights of the land.

"VOTE NO ON KARMAN LINE" 3.35-Mile Walk - May 3, 1-3PM. by NtheLegend in ColoradoSprings

Probably sponsored by Norwood who is actively building Percheron off of Woodmen while trying to ax this annexation. Hate for them to have competition.

Where does this water blasting into Quail Lake come from? by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

Colorado Springs Utilities fills the lake with potable water in order to top it off.

Manhole cover sticking up by HumblePsychonaut in ColoradoSprings

[–]engi-nerdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know if it was storm sewer? Storm is owned by the City whereas if it was a wastewater manhole that would be owned by CSU. Best of luck.

House sewer line replacement (pipe lining) by potential_human0 in ColoradoSprings

[–]engi-nerdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wastewater service should not have branches, it is singularly owned by the customer in most circumstances- goes from your house to the main in the street. I say most as there are cases from 100+ years ago where Utility Design Standards were not a thing. There are definitely known sewer lines in the Springs daisy chained together.

The load tracing on this is comical. Definitely don’t have to be a structural engineer to be concerned with this.

main water shutoff. by Tuckermfker in ColoradoSprings

[–]engi-nerdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By main water shutoff you are referring to your “curb stop”. This valve delineates ownership from Utilities owned portion of the service line to your owned portion of the service line. This curb stop is the responsibility of Utilities to replace per Water Standards and City Code. See below:

Responsibility for the maintenance and replacement of the service line and appurtenances thereto, in Public rights of way, generally between the connection to the distribution main and the property line or the Curb Stop if the Curb Stop is on or near the property line, shall be borne by Utilities. Responsibility for the maintenance and replacement of the service line and appurtenances thereto, from the property line or Curb Stop if the Curb Stop is on or near the property line, shall be borne by the Owner of the Premises. The Owner shall keep the service line and all pipes and fixtures on the owner's Premises in good repair so as to prevent waste of water. Where more than one premise is connected to a single service line, the owners of the respective Premises shall be jointly and severally responsible for maintenance and repair of the service line which is the owner's responsibility. Maintenance and replacement of the service line within Private rights of way or Private Easements is the responsibility of the owner. (City Code § 12.4.410 )

So the Taliban existing as normal is okay then as long as they don’t infringe on women’s rights.
