<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />October 27,2000 <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />1313 Sherman St. <br />Denver, CO 80513 <br /> <br />Board members and staff: <br /> <br />Growth along the front range corridor continues to change the character of the region in <br />a significant manner. In addition to the growth that continues in the region's towns and <br />cities, rural areas are also experiencing an influx of people. In the exploration of <br />alternatives that will be available for meeting the water supply needs associated with this <br />growth, installation of dual water systems appears to be a viable solution that reserves <br />high quality water for potable use, utilizes non-potable supplies more efficiently and <br />extensively, can be cost efficient, and can reduce the size of infrastructure for the <br />treatment and distribution of water. <br /> <br />As a supplier of water for domestic and irrigation uses, the Northern Colorado Water <br />Conservancy District is very interested in exploring the possibilities for increased use of <br />dual water systems. The proposal before you is designed to examine the possibilities <br />for creating functional dual water systems by teaming irrigation companies with rural <br />domestic water purveyors. We are hopeful that this investigation will demonstrate that <br />such projects will enhance the viability of existing irrigation operations and provide <br />useful water supplies to rural areas. <br /> <br />As a partner in the proposed project, the District is committing the cash and in-kind <br />services that are attached. We are also providing GIS based information about regional <br />growth that we have recently developed. We feel that this proposal will be a valuable <br />contribution toward the potential that currently exists for dual water systems. We <br />encourage your support in this proposal. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~<P.~ <br /> <br />Alan D. Berryman <br />Head, Engineering Services, NCWCD <br /> <br />24 <br />
