<br />t ;.~~ oif. <br /> <br />1994 MASTER PLAN UPDATE <br />WATER AND SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM <br /> <br />TOWN OF ELIZABETH, COLORADO <br /> <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> <br />MeuTer & Associates has prepared an update to the 1988 Water and SanitaTY Sewer <br />System MasteT Plan for the Town of Elizabeth. In OUT analysis we have incorporated <br />recent demand data fTom the water and wastewater systems and gTowth data supplied <br />by the Town's staff. Based on our Teview of the CUTrent and projected demands and <br />the existing facilities. we have deteTmined that improvements to the wateT supply <br />system aTe necessary and should be implemented immediately. Our analysis also <br />indicates that the wastewateT treatment facility has the capacity to tTeat the influent <br />from the collection system through the projected growth of the study period. <br /> <br />Meurer & Associates recommends that the water system be impToved by constTucting <br />and equipping a new well with a minimum capacity of 175 gallons per minute. This <br />additional flow should provide the supply necessaTY to meet the Town's wateT demands <br />through the study peTiod. However. the Town should consideT equipping the well to <br />full capacity (approximately 300 gpm). This would allow the existing wells to be used <br />for backup or stand-by service if the new well is out of service or a greater supply is <br />required. Once the well has been drilled and the capacity is known. the additional cost <br />to equip the well to full capacity can be evaluated. <br /> <br />OUT opinion of the cost of this improvement is $583.000. This opinion is preliminaTY <br />and is based on past expeTience with similaT pTojects and discussions with the Town's <br />staff. This opinion will be refined once a specific well site and aquifer is selected and <br />this study is finalized. <br />
