<br />. <br /> <br />0025~S <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />be included in the study, we have heard nothing further since the <br /> <br />completed report was furnished to the city council. As a matter of <br /> <br />fact, the report concludes that a desalting plant for the city is <br /> <br />not now economically feasible. <br /> <br />The study was the first of its kind ever to be conducted <br /> <br />in the state of Colorado. ~ihile the conclusions were disappointing, <br /> <br /> <br />they were nevertheless valuable. The cost estimates provide a g90d <br /> <br /> <br />basis for exploring alternate solutions to water quality problems. <br /> <br /> <br />Particularly, we believe that the study will cause water supply <br /> <br /> <br />agencies to look beyond their own narrow jurisdictions for a solution <br /> <br /> <br />to the broader problem of water quality. We are hopeful that the <br /> <br /> <br />problem of Las Animas, for instance, will eventually be regarded as <br /> <br />a problem of the entire Arkansas Valley which needs solution. As a <br /> <br />matter of fact, the people in the Arkansas Valley now have under <br /> <br />active consideration a valley pipeline which will provide a common <br /> <br />supply for many of the valley's communities. <br />The report does clearly point out that we have some water <br /> <br />quality problems in Colorado. My message to you here today is--don't <br /> <br />move to Colorado. <br /> <br />FLS:mm <br /> <br />-9- <br />
