<br />Part VII - Proposed Project (Recommended Alternative) <br /> <br />A. Prl~;ect Design <br /> <br />1. Water Supply <br />Goodman Point Water Association will receive water from the Montezuma Water <br />Company that supplies water to the mral areas surrounding Cortez in southwest <br />Colorado. MWC's raw water supply is from Lake McPhee, which is supplied by the <br />Dolores River. There is no new raw water supply that is required for this project. <br /> <br />Montezuma Water Company owns water rights that are used to provide service to <br />members in three counties in Southwest Colorado. The water supply is the Dolores River <br />and the Wells in Lost Canyon. Montezuma Water Company's water treatment plant has <br />a current capacity of 4 million gallons per day and this past year at maximum day <br />demands the plant was at 44% of capacity. At maximum day demands MWC used <br />approximately 3% of their total water rights. <br /> <br />2. Treatment <br />There are no proposed centralized water treatment facilities located within the Goodman <br />Point area. Water treatment is provided by the Montezuma Water Company which <br />operates a water treatment plant in Dolores that serves the mral area of Montezuma <br />County . <br /> <br />Montezuma Water Company uses the ACTIFLO system in its water treatment process. <br />Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant where a coagulant is added in a rapid mixing <br />tank. The water is then injected with a microsand and polyelectrolyte in an injection <br />tank. This is followed by a flocculation tank where the flocs mature. A lamella settler <br />separates the floc from the treated water. Sludge generated in the process is collected <br />from the bottom of the settler and pumped to a hydrocyclone where the microsand is <br />separated from the sludge for reuse. The treated water flows to a clearwell where it is <br />disinfected with chlorine gas. The MWC water treatment plant has a capacity of 4 MGD. <br /> <br />A chlorine booster pump for Goodman Point may be required, which will be determined in <br />the final design stage. Space is provided in the pump station enclosure to accommodate <br />two 55-gallon dnul1s of sodium hypochlorite and two metering pumps. Costs associated <br />with the chlorine booster pumps are included in the project costs. <br /> <br />3. Storage <br />Storage will be provided to the Goodman Point area through one water storage tank with <br />capacity to store demand for the full build out population of the area. The water storage <br />tank is not required to have fire flow storage. <br /> <br />Storage requirements are based on domestic demands and state requirements. It is <br />assumed that the ultimate population served in 2040 will be approximately 125 residents. <br />The minimum storage recommended by the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment (CDPHE) for a population of 100 is 20,000 gallons, and for 200 is 40,000 <br /> <br />Goodman Point Water Association - Preliminaty Engineering RepOli <br /> <br />18 <br />
