<br />ATTACHMENT "B" <br /> <br />. \ <br /> <br />June 8, 2003 <br /> <br />Mr. Dannie McMillan, Public Works Director <br />City of Lamar <br />102 East Parmenter <br />Lamar, Colorado 81052 <br /> <br />RE: Potential for Pressurized Secondary Water <br /> <br />City of Lamar <br />Prowers County, Colorado <br /> <br />Dear Dannie: <br /> <br />~~1~':.;/2 .-?~;-:~~ <br />::;gtA. "';;-ft. <br />. :"~/ !!ffh "";J!~~ <br />>'i.fJ.j;i~ .., <br /> <br />~~. --~c~. <br /> <br />An Aqua Engineering and Colorado State University team has been asked by the City of Lamar Water <br />Board to submit a proposal for a feasibility study for pressurized secondary water development. <br />Completion of a feasibility study is intended to provide the information concerning the concepts and <br />suitability of a potential secondary water system. Should a secondary system prove feasible, the study will <br />provide necessary information to meet the Colorado Water Conservation Board loan application <br />requirements to finance a pressurized secondary system water project. <br /> <br />Following approval by your board and the City of Lamar, this feasibility study proposal is to be submitted <br />by your board to the Colorado Water Conservation Board for cost share (grant) funding. As was indicated, <br />the Colorado Water Conservation Board offers 50% cost sharing, up to $5,000, to applicants wishing to <br />conduct feasibility studies for raw water projects. This proposed feasibility study will cost $10,000. <br />Therefore, your board and the City of Lamar will be providing $5,000 toward the feasibility study. <br /> <br />We are very pleased with this opportunity to work further with the City following our presentations to the <br />City of Lamar Water Board on May 1 and June 3. The project technical team will be led by myself with <br />assistance from John Wilkins-Wells and Walter Epley at Colorado State University, and from Aqua <br />Engineering staff to be assigned. <br /> <br />In support of this initiative, Colorado State University will organize and conduct a study tour for your board, <br />including visits to pressurized municipal secondary water systems in Utah, and a visit to the Dolores <br />Project in southeastern Colorado. Funding for your study tour has already been secured by Colorado State <br />University. <br /> <br />We look forward to any comments or questions that you may have, and look forward to continuing our <br />work together. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~r-- <br /> <br />Stephen W.
