<br />07,~9 <br /> <br />. Draft Water and Storage Needs Assessment <br />SECWCD/Assessment Enterprise <br />December 10, 1998 <br /> <br />2.2J1 Town of Buena Vista <br /> <br />The Town of Buena Vista obtains its water from North Cottonwood and Cottonwood Creeks. <br />Senior water rights total 3.88 cfs. Firm yield is estimated to be 2,809 afper year. An additional <br />transfer of agricultural rights to municipal use could increase divertable supply to 5.88 cfs. This <br />water portfolio reportedly could support a population of 5,880 persons. Water currently is <br />provided to 1,101 residential and commercial taps and a population of2,039 persons. Current <br />per capita use is 459 gpcd. Water is obtained from an infiltration gallery with disinfection <br />provided prior to distribution. During the summer irrigation season, watering restrictions have <br />lowered water consumption on peak days by up to 50 percent Construction plans include a new <br />625,000 gallon storage tank, adding a new ground water well and infiltration gallery and <br />developing the ability to store more water in Rainbow Lake and Cottonwood Lake. With these <br />added resources, the current water system appears to be sufficient to meet long-range needs. <br /> <br />2.2.1.2 City of Sa lid a <br /> <br />The City of Sa lid a relies primarily on surface water supplemented by ground water rights. Raw <br />water is stored in North Fork Reservoir (storage right of 375 at) and I to 3 af/yr of Fry-Ark <br />water is used for well augmentation. Firm yield from Salida's surface water rights is estimated <br />to be 2,240 af per year. <br /> <br />Current water use is estimated to be 2,400 af/yr, including a large irrigation component Per <br />capita use in 1996 was 383 gpcd. Salida forecasts a need for up to 200 af/yr of Fry-Ark water <br />by the year 2020. <br /> <br />2.2J3 City of Canon City <br /> <br />Canon City derives its raw water supply from the Upper Arkansas River. Direct flow water <br />rights (Hydraulic Ditch, Old Water Works, F. Mayol Ditch) are more than adequate to supply <br />a 22 mgd water treatment plant The City reports an annual firm yield of 7,784 mg/yr (23,891 <br />af/yr). Canon City currently has ample direct flow rights, but reportedly could benefit from <br />storage capacity. Current and future use of Fry-Ark water is reported to be minimaL The City <br />has used total Fry-Ark Project allocations totaling 614 affrom 1985 to 1994. Water use in 1996 <br />was approximately 6,000 af. Per capita use is 203 gpcd. <br /> <br />m GEl Consultants.
