<br />Little Thompson Water District - Proposed Dry Creek Reservoir <br />November 25-26, 2002 <br /> <br />Agenda Item 20f <br /> <br />Water Project Construction Loan Program-Project Data <br /> <br />Borrower: Little Thompson Water District <br /> <br />County: Larimer <br /> <br />Project Name: Dry Creek Reservoir <br /> <br />Project Type: New Reservoir <br /> <br />Drainage Basin: South Platte <br /> <br />Water Source: CBT <br /> <br />Total Project Cost: $10,500,000 <br /> <br />Funding Sources: CWCB, L TWO, CWCWD <br /> <br />Type of Borrower: Municipal (Middle/High) <br /> <br />Aver. Delivery: 5200 acre-feet <br /> <br />CWCB Construction Fund Loan: $3,937,500 Interest Rate: 4.05% <br /> <br />Term: 20 years <br /> <br />I <br />/ <br /> <br />The Little Thompson Water District (L TWO) and Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) are <br />each applying for a CWCB loan to construct a new water storage reservoir in a 50/50 partnership. <br />Both districts would jointly build, own and operate the proposed reservoir. L TWO and CWCWD jointly <br />own the Carter Lake Filter Plant that treats Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) water. Currently, the filter <br />plant has no raw water storage facility. All water treated by the plant is delivered directly from Carter <br />Lake to the filter plant through the St. Vrain Supply Canal. Consequently, the Districts are entirely <br />dependent on availability of water from Carter Lake. In wet years, the Districts are unable to treat and <br />store all of the water to which they are entitled. In dry years, the Districts can have a shortage of water <br />and are forced to meet their demands with water from outside entities. In addition, any condition that <br />would interrupt supply from Carter Lake such as maintenance to Carter Lake or the St. Vrain Supply <br />Canal also would cause interruption in operation of the treatment plant. The proposed project located <br />2-3 miles southeast of Carter Lake would include construction of an approximately 5200 acre-foot <br />reservoir, including a 40-foot high earthen dam with emergency spillway and outlet works, conversion <br />of an existing 20-inch treated water line to a raw water line to connect the reservoir to the Filter Plant, <br />and construction of a 5000 GPM pump station to pump water from the reservoir to the Filter Plant. <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />
