The Town also owns a conditional 3.0 c.f.s direct flow right out of the Colorado River (case 96CW171), which will be llsed for the proposed project.

Construct a pipeline from the Colorado River to the Jones #2 Reservoir ($1.6 million) Alternative No.1: No Action. This alternative was ruled out because it could result in a severe water shortage for the Town in Summer 2003 as well as summer watering restrictions in all future years. Alternatives No.2 and No.3 were ruled out due to cost. Alternative No.4: Construct a pipeline from the Colorado River to the Jones #2 Reservoir ($1.6 million) was selected as the most economical method of providin!~ an additional water supply for the Town.
