Pumping from the existing diversion point will avoid an upstream <br />movement of the point of diversion thereby insuring no injury of the ewests in- <br />stream flow right on Cross Creek. Our primary diversion supply will continue to <br />course through our existing treatment plant. Regarding our pumping program to <br />fill the reservoir, we plan to complete our filling operations during the spring <br />flood period. We will be able to replenish any prior year releases within a few <br />weeks, or at most a couple of months. Our pumping program normally will <br />commence in June to coincide with flood waters and ~e completed in July. Any <br />storage water not used in anyone year would be held over for use in the <br />following year. <br /> <br />Only a portion of the Town's municipal demand will flow through Bolts <br />Lake. We plan to continue,operating our treatment plant on Cross Creek from <br />our existing point of diversion. Bolts Lake will be used to supplement our <br />domestic supply in low flow periods (February-March), to the extent needed. <br />This sort of operations should have a positive effect upon the CWCS minimum <br />stream rights. <br /> <br />Best regards, <br /> <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />.__.~ <br />C~. ~ <br />~... ~ .--- <br />Richard Dangle <br />Town Manager <br />
