<br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />A pipeline network was developed to cover all areas of service. This "transmission <br />network" was conceptualized in order to understand, on a preliminary level, how much <br />pipe is needed, where pipe is to be installed, and what the size and cost might be. Final <br />pipe routing and sizing would be determined during preliminary design and final design <br />phases for construction documents. Where possible, the new pipe should be laid in the <br />existing canal and laterals or the associated easements. This practice reduces <br />construction costs because excavation isn't necessary. However, if the open ditch is to <br />remain for agricultural purposes, or to accept storm water discharges, then the pipe <br />should be laid adjacent to the ditch, where possible, since easements and access <br />already exist. Figure 3 shows the conceptual pressurized transmission system described <br />in this report including phase boundaries, reservoir locations, and the transmission pipe. <br /> <br />Enhanced Aaricultural Ooerations <br /> <br />Although the driving force behind Highland Ditch Company's secondary supply system is <br />anticipated urban development, this system can significantly enhance the historical <br />agricultural irrigation practices as well. The Board of Directors anticipates that the <br />Highland Ditch Company will provide agricultural water to its shareholders into the <br />foreseeable future. Total development of the 35,000 acres under the canal system is not <br />anticipated. As the secondary supply system is installed and transmission lines are <br />routed to multi-use developments, much of the agricultural land that stays in production <br />can also benefit from the pressurized system. <br /> <br />Shareholders will be able to "tap" into the transmission line just as a new development <br />would; thereby receiving pressurized water "on-demand". Conversion from surface <br />irrigation methods to pressurized methods such as pivots or sub-surface drip can be <br />accomplished with the pressurized source of water. Individual shareholders will not have <br />to maintain their own irrigation pumps; they will be connected to the company's system. <br />The availability of pressurized irrigation water may actually keep more producers in <br />business as development grows around them. <br /> <br />Aqua Engineering, Inc. <br />November 8, 2004 <br /> <br />Canal Modernization Feasibility Study <br />- 15 - <br /> <br />
