<br />.,.., <br />~ A <br />co <br />00 ClllFTON <br />.... ~ <br />0 <br />0 <br />. ;nIST.u~ <br /> <br />Jonathan Tripp <br />August 11, 1993 <br />Page two <br /> <br />Aqua-Chern can design, construct and operate a desalinization <br />plant in the Glenwood Springs area that is palatable to not only <br />the residents of Glenwood Springs but of Garfield County and the <br />State of Colorado. <br /> <br />The customers of the Clifton Water District are not your <br />constituents, but we are a part of the overall broad picture of <br />individuals benefitting from the water in the Colorado River and <br />would sincerely appreciate your support for a desalinization <br />plant for the waters that flow from the springs at Glenwood into <br />the Colorado River. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As stated above, we can certainly understand your feelings <br />and if we were in your shoes, would probably agree with your <br />opinion. However, we are not in your shoes, we are users of <br />water in the Colorado River below Glenwood Springs and put up <br />with too much salt in our drinking water. <br /> <br />The additional salt increases costs to our fruit growers <br />too. The calcium and magnesium left behind when irrigation water <br />evaporates from our orchards tie-up the iron from our fertilizer <br />requiring additional iron to be added to the soil. I understand <br />this additional iron costs the orchard men about $45 per tree <br />extra. <br /> <br />Should you require any additional information on our <br />concerns about salt in the river please do not hesitate to <br />contact us. We are very supportive of the desalinization project <br />and feel that we have another perspective on the salinity <br />situation which may earn your support for the project. <br /> <br />";f;:#~ <br /> <br />Raymond J.
