Triview Secures Favorable Bond Rates for NMCI Project

We have great news to share about the financing for Triview’s portion of the Northern Monument Creek Interceptor (NMCI) project, which we’ve been updating you about throughout the year.

In early July, the district successfully issued $32 million in bonds to fund our share and Forest Lakes’ share of the NMCI pipeline project. Despite some market uncertainty, the bond sale was extremely well received — we had $124 million in subscriptions for our $32 million offering, meaning we were oversubscribed by nearly four times!

What This Means for You

The district secured an all-in interest rate of 4.67% on these 30-year bonds — an exceptionally favorable rate in today’s market. When the Board approved the bond parameters earlier this year, we set a threshold of 5.75% as our maximum acceptable rate. Coming in nearly a full percentage point below that threshold represents a significant long-term savings for the district and Forest Lakes residents. Triview Metro District entered into a cost-sharing agreement between the two districts, whereby Triview issued the bonds and will be reimbursed by Forest Lakes Metropolitan District according to their percentage share of the project. This arrangement ensured that the two districts were both able to join with Colorado Springs Utilities in the construction of this regional pipeline facility.

This favorable outcome reflects several factors:

• A Strong credit rating: Standard & Poor’s gave Triview an A+ rating
• Bond insurance: We added insurance from Build America Mutual (BAM), which elevated our rating to AA
• Solid financials: Our strong financial management and planning made Triview an attractive, secure investment
• Experienced leadership: The work of our management team and Board of Directors

Even better for district residents – there are no new taxes associated with this project. The bonds will be funded from our existing utility revenues.

Looking Ahead

Groundbreaking on the NMCI project began this summer, with completion expected in late 2027. This 10-mile pipeline will transport wastewater to Colorado Springs Utilities’ J.D. Phillips Water Resource Recovery Facility for treatment, providing Triview with a sustainable, 99-year solution for our community’s wastewater needs.

The favorable bond rate we secured means lower debt service costs over the 30-year life of these bonds — a win for the district’s long-term financial health and for you as residents. For more information about the NMCI project, visit csu.org/current-projects/northern-monument-creek-interceptor.

Conserve Water This Summer: Every Drop Counts

It’s been one of the hottest, driest summers in recent memory, and water usage across the district is at record levels. July is shaping up to be our highest usage month ever, with the district averaging nearly 1.9 million gallons per day. We’re asking all residents to be mindful of water consumption — every drop counts right now.

How the District Is Managing Supply

Triview is well-prepared for dry conditions like these. As planned, the district is drawing on a combination of surface water and groundwater to meet demand this summer. This “conjunctive use” approach — blending renewable surface water with our Denver Basin groundwater reserves — is exactly what these resources were designed for, ensuring reliable water even during extended drought periods.

That said, the current drought has affected some of our senior water rights, making conservation especially important right now.

Know Your Usage: Download the Eye on Water App

The best way to track your water consumption and catch leaks early is through the Eye On Water app, which works with the smart water meters installed throughout the district. The app allows you to:

• View your daily water usage in real-time
• Set usage alerts
• Detect leaks before they waste water and drive up your bill
• Compare your usage over time

Download the app or visit helpeyeonwater.com to get started. If you notice any unusual spikes in usage, check for leaks promptly to conserve water and avoid unnecessary costs.Thank you for doing your part to use water wisely this summer. Together, we can protect this vital resource for our entire community!
