<br />.,' ",............ \ <br />~ l.''-- <br /> <br />The transmission line crosses under the Purgatoire River at several locations along the river <br />valley as it extends from the filtration plant to Trinidad. As this is a treated water transmission <br />line, most properties fronting the pipeline are serviced with water. The City has a rechlorination <br />facility to assure water quality at Madrid. <br /> <br />STORAGE <br /> <br />The transmission line reaches to a point below Trinidad Lake at Jansen Tank, the City's first and <br />primary water storage tank which has a capacity of 5,000,000 gallons. <br /> <br />From the primary storage tank the City has smaller transmission lines with pumping stations <br />which extend to the City's secondary storage tanks located on Simpson's Rest, Reservoir Hill, <br />and east of Allendale. Each of those tanks has a 1,500,000 gallon capacity of storage. Total <br />storage capacity is 9.5 million gallons. <br /> <br />A telemetry system is used to monitor water levels within each tank so that treated water can be <br />transmitted from the filtration plant to the Jansen primary tank and subsequently to each storage <br />tank surrounding the City, thus keeping the volume of available water at maximum level. <br /> <br />DISTRIBUTION <br /> <br />From the water storage tanks surrounding the City there is a distribution system with necessary <br />interconnections for delivery of water throughout the City. <br /> <br />In addition to delivering water to each household and business in Trinidad, water is also provided <br />to many areas outside the City's corporate limits extending as far east as the Hoehne area. <br /> <br />The majority of the out-of-City residents and businesses are provided water by means of water <br />association agreements with the City. <br /> <br />In addition to the various individual water customers outside the City and the water associations <br />which purchase water in bulk at points of master metering (for distribution though their own <br />delivery systems), Trinidad's water system also supplies water to the Town of Cokedale and the <br />Town of Starkville. <br /> <br />By contractual agreement, the Trinidad water system also supplies water to the Pinon Canyon <br />Army Maneuver Site (located twenty-nine miles east of Trinidad) by means of an Army-owned <br />and dedicated water line. <br /> <br />-4- <br />
