The estimated total <br />project cost is $5,701,067. Please see the attached project summary and map. <br /> <br />BackQround <br />PTMD is located in Weld county and, among other services, supplies water for outside <br />irrigation within the Water Valley and Hilltop subdivisions, in the Town of Windsor. The <br />District is in the process of expanding its dual water system to serve up to 1500 <br />additional homes and is seeking a loan to construct that infrastructure. <br /> <br />From its inception Water Valley has been designed with a dual-water system, utilizing <br />untreated water for all irrigation, both open space and private residential lots. This <br />system has greatly reduced the demand for treatment facilities, thereby resulting in a <br />reduction of potable water tap fees of approximately 27% and of monthly water charges <br />of about 35%. The first 35% of the development, comprised of 910 residences, 24 <br />acres of commercial space and about 60 acres of open space, is operating very <br />successfully in this mode. <br /> <br />Feasibilitv Studies <br />The PTMD has completed a feasibility study. The study includes an assessment of <br />alternatives available for providing outside irrigation water with the District. <br />
