ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED <br />**************************** <br /> <br />A) DESCRIPTION <br />**************** <br />. '. <br /> <br />In Section V of the Planning Document entitled" FORMULATION OF AL- <br />TERNATES ", the following conclusions regarding the present condition and <br />needs of the Pinewood Springs Water: District are summarized as follows: <br /> <br />1) Raw water storage reservoirs need' to hold between' 20 and 40 acre/feet of <br />. water, be filled at approximately 100 gpm, and processed at SO gpm to meet <br />the needs of the' service area. <br /> <br />2) Existing raw water storage arid treatment facilities are inadquate' to meet <br />these needs. . . ' ' <br /> <br />3) Existing water treatment facilities cannot meet the 50'gpm requirement .' <br />without excee.dirig specified operating limits. The likely result will,be an <br />inability to comply wih current public health requirements. <br /> <br />4) The District has oilly been able to meet its needs in the past three years by <br />hauling water at great cost. ' . <br /> <br />Based on these conclusions,' the following alternate'soIutions were evaluated in <br />the Planning Document by McLaughlin Water Engineers, using the same des- <br />ignation for each as presented in the Docmnent. . . <br /> <br />. ALTERNATE ldml'AIN THE STATUS QUO _ . <br /> <br />This essentially amounts to continue hauling Water during dry years when the <br />Little Thompson River is incapable of providing the needed raw water supply. <br /> <br />.. <br />ALTERNAIE 2-CONSOLIDATION OF RAW WATER SUPPLY AND <br />TREATME-IST WIllI-OTHER COMMQNITIES <br /> <br />The distance to the nearest community system, which would be Big Elk Mead.;, <br />ows, makes this an unlikely option. <br /> <br />"ALTERNATE A-ENLARGE CRESCENt.LAKE, INS.TALL A NEW RAW <br />. WAIER TRAN.5MISSIQN...LINE. AND UPGRADE THE EXISllliG WA- <br />TER TREATMENT PLANI <br /> <br />This would involve a deepening and sealing of the existing Crescent Lake, <br />which has a current capacity of approximately 3 acre/feet, and expanding it <br />. 11 <br />
