<br />1. <br /> <br />'.1.- '; <;73 <br />.).- , <br /> <br />POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />There are several possibilities for using projeot water for muni- <br /> <br />cipal water supplies. The plan decided upon will depend on the municipali- <br />ties involved, since it is not anticipated at this time that the potential <br /> <br />project under consideration will make it a part of' the plans. However, wa- <br /> <br />ter will be available for the tOYnlS that want to make provisions for deliver- <br /> <br />ing their cwn supply. <br /> <br />BaUda <br /> <br />Salida is the first town affeoted below the junction point of the <br /> <br />Arkansas River and the transl!lountain canal. The transmountain oanal is 10- <br /> <br />cated at elevation 7.300, approxin~tely one mile west of' the city. It is <br /> <br />possible to oonstruct a purification plant at 7,250 so as to furnish the <br /> <br />town with a gravity flow. The town is looated at elevation 7.050. The maxi- <br /> <br />..... <br /> <br />= demand flow for the town based on the 50 year estimate would require a <br /> <br />12 inch welded steel pipe line approximately one mile long. A crossing for <br /> <br />the river would have to be made or else oarry it across on the railroad <br /> <br />bridge if such a method is possible. <br /> <br />The pipe line would cost $22,000. The total system. purif'ication <br /> <br />plant, and pipe line to the oity distribution system might cost a total of <br /> <br />$85,000, to furnish water at the rate of 1.680 acre-feet per year and the <br /> <br />maximum day of 250 percent the average day. The estimate used on the puri- <br /> <br /> <br />fication plant is based on an average f'igure of $30,000 per 1,000,000 gallon <br /> <br />capacity and using a future plant si~e of 2 million gallons per day~ The <br /> <br />following looation map shows the possible location of such a system. <br /> <br />The we.\; er furnished would have an average weighted hardness from <br /> <br /> <br />5 tc 5-1/2 grains p~r gallon. The present hardness is 9.11 as reported by <br /> <br />the Ba1ida Water Commissioner's offioe. <br />
