FI NAL REPORT ON
ALLENSPARK WATER PROJECT

Application for financial assistance from the Colorado

Water Conservatipn Board Construction Fund was submitted on

August 24, 1973,i for the A11enspark Water project. This
I
I
project eventually became the first one to be funded from
!
the then newly ~uthorized construction fund.
I
Prior to construction of this project, the small mountain
I
community of A11enspark relied on two or three private water

systems, all of !which only supplied water during the frost-

free season. Tqe reason being that all of the old transmission

and distribution lines were either laid on top of the ground or
!
I
they only haq a ,few inches of cover and they would freeze very

I

easily, as the elevation in the community ranges from 8,500 to
8,900 feet abov~ sea level.
In orde~ tq seek funding for consolidating and improving
the old water1irtes in the community, it was necessary to form
a legal entity. i This was accomplished on November 22, 1972,
I
when the District Court decreed that the A11enspark Water and
I
Sanitation District had been duly formed and founded. This'
quasi-public agency, by State statute, has all the rights and
powers to borrow funds for water and sanitary sewer projects.
Subsequent to t~e creation of the "District", a. board of
directors was elected and they actively pursued funding for the
new water proje~t to a successful conclusion. A copy of the
original application for funds is included as Appendix A.
