The towns <br />and county are represented as members of the Arkansas Valley Interbasin Roundtable. <br /> <br />At its most recent meeting, the RMWSD Board of Directors unanimously adopted a motion <br />approving the enclosed application for a Basin Account Grant in the amount of $120,000.00 <br />from the Water Supply Reserve Account as created by Colorado Senate Bill 06-179. <br /> <br />The proposed project, fully supported by the towns, the county and the fire district, would <br />provide for the construction of a new well and associated improvements at what we call the <br />Gallery Site. The project would include a well permit, water quality testing, production well, <br />electric supply, building, pump, gas treatment, chlorine contact chamber, and engineering. <br /> <br />A recent water system study funded by a Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) grant and <br />completed by a' civil engineering firm, the Crabtree Group, Inc., identified these proposed <br />improvements as being among the most immediately essential and urgently needed within our <br />District for the health, safety, welfare, growth, and economic stability of both towns. <br /> <br />We ask that our request be given full consideration, and wish to thank everyone involved in <br />making these grant opportunities available. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />ROUND MOUNTAIN WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT <br /> <br />~ l:.. ~~ <br /> <br />Charles E.
