The Town of Keenesburg is located in Weld C~unty 30 miles north of Denver on 1-76.
The population is 1100, and the Town currently serves about 461 water taps. The water
supply comes from 5 wells that draw water frob the Laramie - Fox Hills aquifer, and
I
have a total capacity of 221 acre-feet per year. The Town's well water is pumped
I
directly into the distribution system, which resplts in some users not receiving proper
disinfection contact time. The Town has undertaken a separate project that will allow
I
well water to be pumped to the water storage tlmk prior to being delivered to
I
distribution. The proposed project with CWCa funds, includes purchase of 139.6 AF of
well water rights in the Lost Creek Groundwat~r Basin, and construction of 5.5 miles of
pipeline to the Town. The purpose of the projJct is to improve the water quality by
I
blending the new water with the existing Laraf1lie-Fox Hills water. Blending the water
has been evaluated, and providing a 50%-50% Jjlend of the two waters shows that the
SAR ratio drops below 10, and the fluoride lev~l drops to approximately 1.5 mg/l, below
the MCL of 2 mg/l. The well and water rights purchase has been completed. The
Town has completed all the pipeline work and is currently working on the connection to
I
the storage tank. Project completion is anticipated in July of 2007.
