The <br />current population is 270 residents and the Town currently serves water 112 taps, with the potential <br />to serve 33 additional taps, if existing annexed lots are developed. Typical water usage averages <br />55 AF per year. In 2003, with restricted outside watering, the usage was 26 AF. The Town <br />currently has one tributary groundwater well (Permit # 018543-F) to supply all of the water required <br />for the town. The well is currently augmented under the Lower Platte and Beaver Canal Company <br />(LP&B) plan of operations. The well is considered a junior well. and the depletions from pumping of <br />the well must be replaced during times when there is a "call" on the river by a senior downstream <br />water right. The Town needs to develop its own source of augmentation in order to protect the well <br />from curtailment under the LP& B plan. and they will continue to be covered under the LP& B plan. <br />The Town is proposing to purchase 2 shares of Jackson Reservoir and % share of Riverside <br />Reservoir for use as well augmentation water, that will provide the Town approximately 18 AF of <br />consumptive use yield. The Town also owns 1 % shares of LP & B that provides about 4 AF of <br />consumptive use. These two sources will very nearly cover the Town's dry-year (restricted outside <br />watering) augmentation need scenario. <br /> <br />!- .' <br />......Roa,." i <br /> <br /> <br />Town of Hillrose <br /> <br />~....;"'.~ ..;: <br />, <br /> <br />Otis ..: <br /> <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />
