<br />ADDendix 1 <br />CWCS Construction Fund Loan ADDlication <br />submitted bv the Town of Minturn <br /> <br />Response to Part A, Item 5: <br /> <br />A. Description of Existing Facilities. <br /> <br />1. Water Source. The current diversion dam and raw water supply <br />line for the Enterprise were constructed in 1963. Previous to that, a low storage <br />dam was construction in 1947 on Cross Creek for diversion to the town water <br />system. The existing diversion and storage dam is in good physical condition. <br />The intake and diversion line have adequate capacity for present demand. <br />Future demands will need to come from the Bolts Lake storage. Minor, <br />maintenance type work is routinely accomplished at the intake to reduce <br />frequent cleaning. No capital budget requirements are foreseen for this source <br />facilities. <br /> <br />2. Water Treatment Plant. The first phase of the water treatment <br />plant was composed of two outside slow sand filters. This plant was constructed <br />in 1963 and designed to produce 450,000 gallons per day. Each filter has an <br />effective surface area of approximately 3,000 square feet. These filters are not <br />covered, and therefore cannot be cleaned during winter months and freeze. In <br />1991 a third slow sand filter, enclosed in a building, with ancillary site work was <br />completed. The third filter brings the summer time capacity to 1.25 million <br />gallons per day (MGD). The winter time filter treatment capacity is 0.8 MGD~- <br />Demand is supplements in the winter with two wells, each producing about 80 <br />gpm, and bag filters when the system is taken down for cleaning. <br /> <br />It is anticipated that a new rapid sand filter will be installed on the line <br />coming from the Bolts Lake project and it will feed directly into the existing <br />system. The rapid sand filter is not a part of this project and will be funded from <br />other revenue. <br /> <br />3. Storaae. The clear well has a 20,000 gallon capacity but is not <br />really available to the distribution system; it is required to provide chlorine <br />contact time and to serve as a sump well for pumping to a 100,000 tank for the <br />Maloit Middle School. The primary storage for the system is an existing 400,000 <br />gallon storage tank at the north end of town. Design has been completed and <br />financing arranged for the construction of a new 600,000 gallon tank at a higher <br />elevation to improve pressure and increase storage in the system. An invitation <br />for bids will be issued early January 1996. <br />
