<br />CWCR Construction ]~und Loan Application <br /> <br />4, General location of the project. (please include county, and approximate distance and direction <br />from nearest town, as well as legal description, if known,- The project is within the Town of <br />Dove Creek, Dolores County, Colorado. <br />5. Please provide a brief narrative description of the proposed project including purpose, need, <br />facilities, type of water uses to be served and service area. Attach separate sheet, if needed. - <br />The citizens of Dove Creek currently use treated water for their lawn and garden irrigation <br />needs within the service area of the Town of Dove Creek. This treated-water supply is an <br />expensive source of supply for such irrigation uses ($2.50 per 1000 gallons). Additionally, the <br />Town of Dove Creek has been under voluntary wa.ter restrictions for the last three summers. <br />The Dove Creek Secondary Water Supply system would provide the citizens of Dove Creek <br />with an alternative source of water supply for outside irrigation use at a much cheaper cost, and <br />would utilize a portion of the Dolores Water Conservancy District's excess M&I water supply <br />(about 100 to 200 acre-feet per year). This supply can be provided at about $1.26 per 1000 <br />gallons, including annual operation and maintenancc~ costs. Actual water costs would be $0.33 <br />per 1000 gallons. The Dolores Water Conservancy District, under a franchise agreement with <br />the Town of Dove Creek, would construct a water ddivery system including a pumping plant, a <br />5 to 10 acre-foot terminal storage reservoir, 32,000 feet of delivery pipeline, and 307 individual <br />water taps with water meters. The project will allow the DWCD to use a portion of its excess <br />M&I water supply. At the present time the DWCD has a $108. per acre-foot re-payment <br />obligation for its M&I water supply. This project will provide the DWCD with much needed <br />revenue to meet its repayment obligation, which is currently paid through local property taxes. <br /> <br />Water Right: Dolores Project Water Rights (DWCD's M&I water) <br /> <br />Average water diverted per year: 5,120 acre-feet; 100 to 200 acre-feet will be used for this <br />project <br /> <br />6. Will the acquisition of additional water rights be necl~ssary? YES _ NO X <br />If YES, please explain. <br /> <br />7.
