'. <br /> <br />Surface Water Supply: <br /> <br />The City of Trinidad obtains the <br /> <br />required water supply from surface rights on the <br /> <br />Purgatoire River. <br /> <br />The water from these decreed <br /> <br />sources is diverted into North Lake Reservoir approx- <br /> <br />imately 35 miles west of the City of Trinidad at an <br /> <br />elevation of 8600 feet. <br /> <br />The water is treated in the <br /> <br />City of Trinidad plant and transported in a trans- <br /> <br />mission line to four water storage reservoirs for <br /> <br />distribution to water users in and around the City <br /> <br />of Trinidad. <br /> <br />The four water storage reservoirs con- <br /> <br />sist of 1 - 5,000,000 ~allon, 2 - 1,500,000 gallon, <br /> <br />and 1 - 125,000 gallon reservoirs. <br /> <br />Ground-Water Supply: <br /> <br />Water wells drilled into the <br /> <br />water bearing aquifers was investigated as an alter- <br /> <br />nate source of water. <br /> <br />A study of the geologic form- <br /> <br />at ions in the vicinity of the City of Trinidad <br /> <br />reveals a complex set of formations with most of <br /> <br />the water bearing formations having developed in <br /> <br />saline and brackish waters. <br /> <br />The water is therefore <br /> <br />generally high in mineral content such as calcium, <br /> <br />magnesium, potasium, and sulfates and thereby <br /> <br />causing the water to be of a poor quality as well <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />1". ..n ~.~~~~ ,,,i~,..~,.~l:-',,,~"~ ,iijd~~.;..~-..lt.-_olI"", ..
