\ This $80,000 project involves the rehabilitation of a number of hydraulic structures and various piping along the South Side Ditch. The overall ditch is approximately 11 miles long and its headgate is located on the South Platte River. The pipe section within the ditch was originally designed by Landmark . Engineering, Loveland, Colorado and was bid out in November of 2005.. Given the high costs of the bids "" received, the designed pipe section alternative to control seepage was changed to a liner. A 400-ft section of the ditch lining project was completed in February of 2005. The Company has a remaining 800-ft section of ditch to line and a number of small concrete diversion structures to replace. Project completion is scheduled for May of 2007. 14. Dolores Water Conservancy District - Dove Creek Secondary Water Supply System Authorization: Construction Fund Water Source: San Juan/Dolores Terms of Loan: $883,304@ 3.00% for 10-years County: Dolores Project Yield: 300 acre-feet Project Type: Dual Water System Residents of the Town of Dove Creek currently use existing treated water supply for outside irrigation. DWCD has been working with the Town, and the Town's Secondary Water Supply Committee, to provide a more cost effective raw water supply for outside irrigation. Currently the cost of treated outside irrigation water for Town residents is $2.40 to $3.00 per thousand gallons. Through a Franchise Agreement, DWCD will make available up 300 acre-feet of its municipal and industrial (M & I) water to meet the needs of the Town, and will construct and operate a secondary water delivery system. The system will include a new pumping plant to deliver up to 2 cfs, a 5 to 10 acre-foot terminal storage reservoir, 32,000 feet of delivery pipeline (10"-8660 feet, 8"-7480 feet, 6"- 16,480 feet) and 307 individual taps with water meters (% to I-inch capacity) for supplying up to 10 gallons per minute per household. With the new systems outside irrigation can be provided at about $1.26 per 1000 gallons, including annual operation and maintenance. The project will be paid for by tap fees, and a total of 307 taps are required to generate enough revenue to fully repay the project cost. The project is being . constructed in-kind by the Dolores Water Conservancy District and is currently under construction. The project is approximately 75% complete and is anticipated to be finished by the May of 2007. 15/16.. Little Thompson/Central Weld Water Districts - Reservoir Construction Authorization: Severance Tax Perpetual Account Water Source: South Platte Terms of Loan: $7,875,000 @4.05% for 20-years County: Larimer Project Yield: 5,200 acre-feet Project Type: Reservoir Construction The Little Thompson Water District and the Central Weld County Water Districts have a 50/50 partnership to construct, own and operate a new reservoir (Dry Creek Reservoir). The proposed project, located approximately 2 miles southeast of Carter Lake would include construction of a 5,200 acre-foot reservoir, including a 40-foot high earthen dam with an emergency spillway and outlet works. Construction will also include converting an existing 20-inch treated line to a raw water delivery line that will connect from the Filter Plant at Carter Lake to the new reservoir and the construction of a 5000 GPM pump station. The project scope was recently changed to increase the reservoir capacity from 5,500 acre- feet to 8,900 acre-feet. At the September 2005 Board Meeting the Board approved an additional loan to the Districts in the amount of $4,994,955 each, for a total combined loan amount for the project of under $18,000,000. Construction of the reservoir was awarded to R.E. Monk, Colorado Springs, Colorado for just under $15,000,000. R.E. Monk has commenced construction and is approximately 75% complete. 17.
