The quality of <br />water provided through project facilities would be of much higher <br />quality than the present supplies with respect to hardness. The <br />tangible monetary benefits resulting from supplemental municipal <br />and domestic water are estimated to be $1,662,000 annually. <br />In the Pueblo Reservoir 93,000 acre-feet of capacity would be <br /> <br /> <br />reserved for flood storage, this would be effective in controlling <br /> <br /> <br />floeds originating above Pueblo and would eliminate 66 percent of <br /> <br /> <br />the probable annual floed damages between Pueb!o and the John <br /> <br /> <br />Martin Reservoir. Benefits from fIoed control are estimated to <br /> <br /> <br />be $583,000 annually. <br /> <br /> <br />The capture of sediment in pueblo Reservoir would afford some <br /> <br /> <br />relief to downstream water users from a costly operation and main- <br /> <br /> <br />tenance problem. Annual benefits. from sediment control are estimated <br /> <br /> <br />at $J.4l,000. <br /> <br /> <br />The total tangible annual benefits are estimated to be <br /> <br /> <br />$9,353,000. In contrast to the benefits, the estimated annual <br /> <br /> <br />equivalent Federal cost is $5,568,000. (;omparing annual benefits <br /> <br /> <br />to costs the ratio is 1.68 to 1. <br /> <br /> <br />The total estimated construction cost of the proposed project <br /> <br /> <br />and the estimated annual operation, maintenance and replcement <br /> <br /> <br />expense have been allocated to tbl>:principle purposes served by <br />the project as follows: <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />~~~\i1~:i~llrii~t?i/;~*f;~~4'*5[~~ii9j~;gp$Jt;tii~,:~;~1?}1i~tJ{$~Wf!i:S~(itl{&;t:~:t;lii{i~KEi?k1i~tti;i~:1;r$g';~fHi';t~i~:):~12;tf <br />
