<br />Recognizing that the City may not be able to acquire the funds to complete this project <br />by 2016, the City will evaluate other options that may be available to minimize the <br />wasting of backwash water. Other options could include a temporary backwash <br />recovery system and potential lease of backwash water to interested third parties (i.e. <br />Thermo) or the City itself - pending contractual, water rights, water quality and other <br />Issues. <br /> <br />In addition, the City will continue to monitor the performance of the WTP filters. As their <br />capacity decreases over time, the City may need a WTP expansion or filter upgrade <br />before 2016. <br /> <br />Finished Water StoraQe and Distribution <br /> <br />The existing WTP has a finished-water clear well volume of approximately 83,920 <br />gallons. Water exits the clear well through 12-inch and 20-inch pipelines to Hudson and <br />Fort Lupton, respectively. Water from Fort Lupton's 20-inch pipeline flows to a 3-MG <br />tank. Upon leaving the 3-MG tank, water is fed to two 1-MG storage tanks located <br />within the City's Low Zone storage tank at the tank farm. Currently, there are no <br />customers tapping off of the 20-inch pipeline. Thus, the City has a total of 5 MG of <br />finished water storage. <br /> <br />This provides adequate storage through 2030. However, to accommodate planned <br />future growth, the City's Urban Growth Area will require servicing customers outside of <br />existing service areas. To accommodate this growth, the City will need an additional <br />above-ground storage facility to serve customers at elevations higher than the High <br />Pressure Zone can service. This new Zone has been informally labeled the "Jesser- <br />Brown" pressure zone. Providing service to this zone will also require approximately <br />two miles of 16-inch pipe, a new pump station and modifications to an existing pump <br />station and the distribution system. <br /> <br />Clear Water Solutions, Inc. <br />City of Fort Lupton <br />2007 Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />31 <br />
