<br />CWCB Construction Loan Program <br />Project Data Sheet <br /> <br />Borrower: City of Aurora <br /> <br />County: Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Project Name: Prairie Waters Project (PWP) <br /> <br />Project Type: Pump Station & Pipeline <br /> <br />Drainage Basin: South Platte <br /> <br />Water Source: South Platte/Transmountain <br /> <br />Project Cost: $800 Million - Total Project Funding Sources: Bonds, CWCB, <br />$250 Million - Conveyance System System Revenues <br />Type of Borrower: Middle Income Municipal Projected Project Delivery: 10,OOOAF <br /> <br />Loan: $75 Million <br /> <br />Interest Rate: 3.75% Term: 30 years <br /> <br />Aurora (population 300,000) is located in the eastern Denver metropolitan area. The population is <br />expected to exceed 600,000 people by 2050. Aurora's water supply comes from three major river <br />basins within Colorado and is sensitive to dry or drought conditions. During average and above <br />average years, the water supplies are ample to meet the City's water demands. However, during <br />dry conditions, water supplies are limited because the water rights owned by Aurora are relatively <br />junior. The Prairie Waters Project is a key part of Aurora Water's comprehensive water resource <br />planning. To meet the demands of its existing customers in dry years, and to meet the increasing <br />demands on the system in the future, the goal of the PWP is to supply 10,000 AF/yr by 2010 and <br />15,000 AF/yr by 2017. Aurora Water will accomplish these goals using reusable effluent from its <br />existing portfolio of decreed reusable water rights, supplemented by lawn irrigation return flows and <br />~unior water rights. A key component of the PWP is the Conveyance System which includes three <br />!pumping stations and a 60-inch diameter pipeline to convey raw water from near Brighton, Colorado <br />~o a purification facility near Aurora Reservoir.. . <br /> <br /> <br />I'~ <br />-\ <br />\ <br /> <br />~NORTH <br /> <br />. .
