Water and sewer services will be prO'Jided by D'istricts No. II
and No. III. The O'Jerall street, water, and sewer
developnent plans for Wolf Creek Valley Res6~t are intended
to localize the cost of construction factlities to the
specific areas served by those facilities, thj.ls reducing any
burden the residents of one area within the develoJ;ment might
otherwise have to assume for facilities servi~g other areas.
The plan also requires each user of the $,ter and sewer
facilities to pay a fair share of the costs f$r operating and
maintaining the system. I

,
The ultimate water and sewer demands for Wolf Creek Valley
are estimated at 1,263,400 gallons per day! for water and
1,200,230 gallons per day for wastewater! inCluding all
commercial uses. Potable water demand is ~sed on a usage
rate of 100 gallons per capita per day and wastewater flow is
,
based on a 95 percent return flow. I

I
Potable water demand and wastewater flqw will be in
proportion to the number of people utilizing the facilities
at Wolf Creek Valley. The highest usage w~ll occur during
the winter ski season and during the mid-surrtmer season. The
facilities utilized by skiers in the winter irequire a higher
usage of potable water and, therefore, a hig\!ler generation of
wastewater than that required during the peak slm!ler season.
,

The water system for the Wolf Creek Valley ~istrict No. I is
intended to meet the ultimate needs of the flntire Wolf Creek
Valley developnent. Wolf Creek Valley Disj:rict No. I will
own and operate wells, pump stations, tr$nsrnission lines,
treatmant plants, storage reservoirs anll other rel.ated
facilities.

The estimated ultimate water suWly system <lOnstruction costs
for the entire Wolf Creek Valley development are $8,394,000.
Of that cost, $2,979,000 will be contribute!d to District No.
I by District No. II and $5,415,000 will ~ contributed by
District No. III. I

The wastewater collection and treatment ~acilities planned
for Wolf Creek Valley consist of wastewatet facilities built
and owned by that District including, but I not limited to a
wastewater treatmant plant, lift stations,! collection lines,
and related appurtenances.
