<br />Castle Rock Water Conservation Master Plan Backaround <br /> <br />Water Treatment <br /> <br />The total finished water capacity of the Town is currently 14.95 mgd when all <br />treatment plants and associated raw water wells are operating. The Town is <br />divided into six raw water/treatment sub-systems. <br /> <br />Finished Water System Capacity - As of December 2005 <br /> <br /> Treatment Raw Water Finished Water <br />Raw Water/Treatment Capacity Capacity Capacity <br />Sub-System (mgd) (mgd) (mgd) <br />Ray Waterman Regional <br />Water Treatment Center 8,00 3,52 3,34 <br />Founders 3,45 4,38 3,45 <br />Meadows 8,00 6,58 6,25 <br />Phillip S, Miller 2,16 3,81 2,16 <br /> Total Finished Water Capacity 15,2 <br /> Total Maximum Day Demand 13,0 <br /> <br />Transition from the current groundwater supply to the future renewable water <br />supplies will required significant changes to the Town's water treatment facilities. <br />More groundwater treatment must be provided in the near future to meet <br />increasing demands, in addition to the future surface water treatment. <br /> <br />Water Storage <br /> <br />The Town currently operates and maintains fifteen active treated water storage <br />reservoirs with a total combined capacity of 28.2 million gallons. Additional <br />reservoirs are planned which will increase the Town's storage capacity to a total <br />of 48.5 MG. <br /> <br />Water Distribution <br /> <br />The Town's distribution network consists of approximately 200 miles of <br />transmission and distribution piping, ranging in size from four to thirty inches. <br />The majority of the piping is eight inch or twelve inch in diameter. <br /> <br />The Town's water system includes seven pressure zones, served by nine <br />booster pump stations and finished water pumps located at each of the water <br />treatment plants. Each pressure zone has been established to maintain a <br />minimum pressure of 43 psi and a maximum pressure of 125 psi under all <br />demand conditions. Booster pumps provide the ability to move water to a higher <br />zone for storage or distribution. <br /> <br />TM-1 Background December 2006 <br /> <br />11 <br />
