<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />STATE. COLORADO <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />721 Centennial Building <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Phone: 13031 866-3441 <br />FAX: (3031 866-4474 <br /> <br />Roy Romer <br />Governor <br /> <br />James S. Lochhead <br />Executive Director, DNR <br /> <br />OariesC. Lile, P.E. <br />Director, eweB <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board Members <br />/{>f? <br />Bill Green, P.E. <br />Project Planning and Construction <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />May 1, 1998 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Agenda Item 8a., May 11-12, 1998 Board Meeting - Update on <br />Existing Authorizations - Ute Water Conservancy District - Plateau <br />Creek Pipeline Project <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />The Ute Water Conservancy District's Plateau Creek Pipeline Replacement Project was <br />first presented to the Board in 1987. The purpose of this memo is to provide some <br />background on CWCB involvement with the project since 1987 and to update the Board <br />on the status of current project activities. Please see the attached Project Summary. <br /> <br />Need for the Project <br /> <br />The District service area encompasses about 240 square miles in the Grand Junction <br />metropolitan area with the exception of about seven square miles served by the City of <br />Grand Junction and several smaller communities. The District's current average annual <br />water demand is about 8,600 acre-feet. As of 1997, the customer base consisted of <br />17,437 taps and a service area population of about 60,000 people. <br /> <br />The District's primary source of water supply is from Plateau Creek, a tributary of the <br />Colorado River originating in Plateau Creek Canyon east of Grand Junction. Water is <br />collected from the tailrace of the Lower Molina Power Plant of the Bureau of <br />Reclamation's Collbran Project and is transmitted 4.5 miles to storage in Jerry Creek <br />Reservoirs as shown on the attached map. <br /> <br />From the reservoirs, water is transmitted by gravity to the District's water treatment plant <br />in the existing 24-inch diameter Plateau Creek Pipeline, a distance of about 15 miles, in <br />an alignment generally following Plateau Creek. The pipeline has inadequate hydraulic <br />capacity for existing demands, shows signs of deterioration, and is located in an <br />alignment subject to landslides and frequent stream erosion. <br />
