Aurora, home builder reach agreement on water for new golf course that could be city’s last

After 10 months of deliberations, the increasingly water-frugal city of Aurora has reached a tentative settlement with a Denver developer over irrigation at what Mayor Mike Coffman hopes will be the city’s last new golf course. The agreement, which still needs to be approved by the Aurora City Council, includes a grandfather clause that will safeguard Prairie Point from Coffman’s proposed crackdown on water use, according to Jody Harper Alderman, an attorney for Oakwood Homes. “Oakwood certainly feels like it was a successful settlement,” Alderman said. “There was some reduction in the annual amount of water to be released from Aurora to Oakwood for golf course irrigation but, from Oakwood’s perspective, it’s a sufficient amount,” Alderman said.
