� <br />EXHIBIT "B" <br />�***�****�**** <br />PINEWOOD SPRINGS WATER DISTRICT EXISTING SUPPLY FACILITIES <br />��x��***�**�*�*��*�*�*********��*****�*****�x��x*��*�*���*�x**��*�:** <br />The primary raw water supply for the District is the Little Thompson River. <br />Treatment consists of turbidity reduction using a U.S. Filter Memcor 6M10C <br />Continuous Microfiltration Unit, along with Ph control and disinfection, all <br />housed in a single facility located on the bank of the River. <br />There are three pressure zones and related booster pumping facilities in the <br />distribution system, covering an elevation range in the service area of approx- <br />imately 600 feet.The low zone incorporates a ground level 100,000 gallon tank <br />and a 500,000 gallon tank for storage.The mid-zone incorporates a 20,000 gallon <br />buried storage tank, and the high zone incorporates a ground level 100,000 gallon <br />tank and a 500,000 gallon tank for storage. <br />In addition to the supply from the Little Thompson River, there are several re- <br />motely located low capacity wells, and a spring, which are manifolded in separate <br />systems to deliver raw water to two separate facilties located along the distribu- <br />� tion system. At each of these locations turbidity reduction is accomplished, along <br />with Ph and disinfection prior to the water being delivered to the system. <br />OPERATION CONCERNS <br />*�**�*�*�x�x*�x�***�***�*� <br />The most significant operational concem has been that the Little Thompson Ri- <br />ver has run dry in mid-July in each of the last two years as a result of severe <br />drought conditions in its watershed.This has required that the Pinewood Springs <br />Water District haul treated water from the City of Longmont on a daily basis un- <br />til the River has resumed flowing, with the hauling cost, alone, for this ranging <br />from approximately $900 to $1000 per day. <br />This has caused the District to clearly conclude that it must develop an alternate <br />source of raw water to augment the demonstrated inability of the current supply <br />from the River to meet the needs of the Pinewood Springs community, and is the <br />reason for the District's efforts to conduct feasibility studies to properly evaluate <br />and pursue such possible alternate sources. <br />� <br />
