<br />investigated based upon an analysis of historical minimum supply conditions <br />(e.g., during the drought of 2002 - 2004). <br /> <br />Based on funding constraints, Task 2 will not fully be completed but elements <br />will be discussed with the needs assessment subcommittee to further refine the <br />elements to be completed under this task. <br /> <br />Deliverable: Draft alld fillal work plall for cOlllpletillg Task 2 illcludillg recollllllellded <br />fUlldillg lIleclll711islll, <br /> <br />3) Basin-wide - Identify vulnerabilities to water supply shortages for Gunnison <br />Basin municipalities. <br />SWSI Phases I and II identified several municipalities in the Gunnison Basin that <br />may not have the drinking water security and level of system redundancy that is <br />recommended to protect against unforeseen shortages. These shortages could be <br />drought related, infrastructure related and/ or system related. Several significant <br />examples exist in Gunnison Basin, including but not limited to the Towns of <br />Ridgway (0.4 day treated water supply), Ouray (0.5 day treated water supply), <br />Orchard City (not known), Hotchkiss (not known), Paonia (not known). One of <br />the larger providers, the Project 7 system in Uncompahgre basin has only an <br />estimated 30 day treated water supply. This drinking water treahnent and <br />distribution system is particularly important and potentially vulnerable as it <br />serves up to 8000 water taps, including 38,000 water users in 3 counties and is <br />reliant on the Gunnison Tunnel as its predominant supply. If an extended outage <br />occurs in this system, 38,000 people are at risk. Furthermore, this analysis should <br />be performed using historical demand conditions related to minimum supply <br />conditions as appropriate (e.g., during the drought of 2002 - 2004). <br /> <br />The Consultant will work with the needs assessment committee to expand upon <br />the list above and to determine the level of detail needed to describe the <br />vulnerabilities. The information from SWSI 1 and 2 will be used as a starting <br />point for this task. After finalizing the list of water users and districts the <br />Consultant will contact the water users and districts to gather this information <br />related to this task. This task will be coordinated with Tasks 1 and 6. <br /> <br />Deliverable: Draft alld fillal tecllllicnllllelllOrl71/dulIlS describillg the results of the <br />illforlllatioll frOIll the slllaller COIllIllUIl i ties. <br /> <br />6) Sub-basin Specific: Upper Gunnison - Review, refine, and/ or confirm the <br />estimate of future snowmaking demands in the Upper Gunnison Basin. <br /> <br />With the growth of Crested Butte Mountain Resort, there is some concern that <br />previous estimates of snowmaking water demands may need refinement. It is <br />important that this analysis be performed using the most up-to-date records to <br />
