To the extent that <br />additional enforcement is required by Morrison, the Town can do <br />the same thing it would do in the event of land use violations by <br />any other property owner, negotiate a resolution, summons the <br />company into municipal court or seek an injunction, damages or <br />other remedies in the county or district courts. If problems <br />with other property owners or residents of the area arise, there <br />is an innovative grievance procedure available which it is hoped <br />will lead to resolution before any other measures are required. <br />(Annexation Agreement-paragraph 27) <br /> <br />10. Question. What if the reservoir site does not hold <br />water? <br /> <br />Answer. It is unlikely that the site will hold water to an <br />acceptable standard without some improvement. There is included <br />within the estimated 2.6 million dollar project cost, $505,000 <br />for lining. Additionally, should unforeseen conditions increase <br />this amount, Cooley is responsible alone for all lining costs in <br />excess of $1,000,000. <br /> <br />11. Question. Why doesn't the Town just build a bigger <br />water storage tank? <br /> <br />Answer. A large tank, 2.5 million gallons for example, <br />would provide the Town 7 to 8 days of water in the event of a <br />problem in the summer months and would cost roughly $800,000. <br />This is about one third the cost of the total reservoir project, <br />including improvements to the Town's system, which will provide <br />more than 162 million gallons of storage. A very large tank on <br />open space property has been suggested. According to our <br />engineers, a 20 million gallon tank, about 1/8th the size of the <br />reservoir, would cost more than 6 million dollars, and Jefferson <br />County Open Space would undoubtedly ask us to pay something for <br />the value of the real estate used, assuming they would allow the <br />use at all. <br /> <br />The Town needs raw water storage of an amount far larger than can <br />practically be provided by a tank. With respect to other storage <br />alternatives which have been raised, every alternative that we <br />are aware of has at one time or another been reviewed by the <br />engineers and this alternative appears the most practical and <br />cost effective. (WRC Feasibility Analysis) <br /> <br />12. Question. What if there are contaminants or other <br />conditions rendering the site unsuitable for water storage? <br /> <br />Answer. We are aware of no such conditions at this time <br />despite a fair amount of testing and analysis. Should a <br /> <br />4 <br />
