It currently <br />provides water for domestic, agricultural, commercial, industrial, and municipal <br />entities. CWCWtJ is generally bounded by Greeley on the north; the Tri-Cities <br />area of Dacono, iFirestone, and Frederick on the south; 1-25 on the west; and <br />I <br />Kersey and Hardin on the east. A service area map is shown on Figure 1. <br />I <br />CWCWD currently serves approximately 9500 taps and delivers approximately <br />1.5 billion gallo~s per year to its 40,000 customers. CWCWD maintains <br />supplemental and emergency connections with other water supply systems to <br />meet demands of its customers as necessary. The following entities are served <br />in whole or in part by CWCWD: the Town of Kersey, the Town of LaSalle, the <br />Town of Milliken (approximately 50% of Milliken's supply), the Town of Gilcrest, <br />the Town of Firestone, the Town of Frederick, the Town of Dacono, and the <br />I <br />Town of Plattevill;e. Of the 9500 taps, 1550 are in Firestone and 1932 are in <br />Frederick and both of these towns are classified as high income by the CWCB. <br />The remaining ta!ps are in areas classified as moderate income areas by the <br />CWCB. <br /> <br />Water Rights <br /> <br />Water used by qWCWD is Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) water delivered to <br />Carter Lake. CWCWD owns 4371 shares of C-BT water. A letter from the <br />Northern Coloradc;> Water Conservancy District (NCWCD) stating the water rights <br />owned by L TWO is in Appendix B. <br />I <br /> <br />PROJECT DESC~IPTION AND ALTERNATIVES <br /> <br />I <br />The purpose of the project is to provide raw water storage for the Carter Lake <br />Filter Plant in ord~r to augment limited supply, and to overcome interruptions in <br />supply from Carter Lake. Several alternatives were considered as outlined <br />below. <br />I <br />1. No action. ; <t \0, S-OO) 0 <? 0 ~~-- <br />2. Construct Ffacilities for Dry Creek Reservoir ($8,873,086) <br />3. Construct Facilities for reservoir at an alternate location (greater than <br />I <br />$25,000,OqO). <br /> <br />Alternative 1 <br /> <br />The no action alte:rnative does not meet the need for raw water storage for Carter <br />Lake Filter Plant. It leaves L TWO and CWCWD vulnerable to service <br />interruptions caus'ed by limited supply from Carter Lake. If supply is interrupted <br />from Carter Lake ifor an extended time, both water districts would be dependent <br />on availability of water from other entities to meet the needs of their customers. <br />Obtaining water from other entities could be extremely expensive. For 2003, <br />L TWD has budg:eted $500,000 for rental water to meet the needs of its. <br /> <br />I <br />, <br /> <br />I <br />Dry Creek Reservoir Feasibility Study <br /> <br />.5 <br />
