<br />., a <br /> <br />CWCB CONSTRUCTION LOAN APPLICATION - CONTINUED <br /> <br />I <br />PART A ITEM 5 I <br />i <br />The Town of Palisade ~as five reservoirs in its watershed. We use <br />two major pipelines tOI transport water to our treatment plant. The <br />major raw water line:used is the Cottonwood Creek line and the <br />other is the Rapid cr~ek line. Both are undersized for our needs. <br /> <br />From April through Ju~e of 1994 we have experienced five (5) water <br />breaks on the Cotton~pod line. This line is at least fifty (50) <br />old and is constructed of cast iron lead joint pipe, which is eight <br />(8) inch in some Plac~s and six (6) inch in others. When the Town <br />experiences a break i this line we loose the best quality water <br />available to the To n because Kruzen Springs water cannot be <br />brought down the Rapi~ Creek Line. <br />I <br />PART B ITEM 5 ! <br /> <br />The Town proposes tol replace the existing Cottonwood Creek raw <br />water pipeline, appro~imatelY seven miles, with a twelve (12) inch <br />pipeline of cast ironiductile or C 900 PVC, 200 p.s.i.. The Town <br />prefers to use the clast iron ductile pipe because of the soil <br />conditions that existl along the pipeline route. <br />I <br />I <br />The new pipeline willjallow the Town to provide water to the water <br />treatment plant witho~t the interruption that has been experienced <br />in the past. It wi,ll also allow the Town to better use its <br />existing water rights !because of the increased flow capacity of the <br />larger line. The Tewn also provides water to the Ute Water <br />Conservancy District, during peak summer usage and when Ute <br />experiences water brekks in their main raw water line. All of the <br />water transported doLn the Cottonwood Creek line is used for <br />domestic use by the re~idents of the Palisade water service area or <br />the Ute Water customers when the Town provides water to Ute. <br />, <br />, <br /> <br />I <br />The Town will alsol investigate the hydroelectric generation <br />possibili ties that tlhe upgraded line may make available to the <br />Town. : <br />, <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />The Town intends tb bid the engineering for the pipeline <br />replacement project. ! <br />, <br />, <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />, <br /> <br />PART B ITEM 7 <br />
