<br />Colorado Institute for Irrigation Management (CSU) <br />January 24-25, 2001 <br /> <br />Agenda Item 14. <br />(Updated February 14, 2001) <br /> <br />Water Project Construction Program - Project Data <br /> <br />Grantee: Colorado Institute for Irrigation Management (CSU) <br /> <br />Project Name: Benefits of Dual Water Systems Project Type: Study <br /> <br />Counties: Weld, Larimer, Boulder Drainage Basin: South Platte <br /> <br />Total Study Cost: $220,512 <br /> <br />Funding Sources: CWCB, NCWCD, Tri-Districts, J-U-B Engineering, CSU, <br />St. Vrain and Lefthand WCD. <br /> <br />Type of Grantee: Agricultural/Municipal <br /> <br />Median Household Income: N/ A <br /> <br />CWCB Grant: $100,000 <br /> <br />Colorado Institute for Irrigation Management (CSU) has requested a grant in amount of $136,131 <br />to cover 62% of the cost of a study to assess the Benefits and Costs of Pressurized Dual Water <br />Systems in Colorado. (Dual water systems deliver raw water for outside inigation, reducing the <br />demand on drinking water systems during the summer.) The study would concentrate on <br />northeast Colorado, particularly water districts 1 through 6, but study findings may be generally <br />transferable statewide. Phase 2 of the study would provide feasibility level evaluation of two <br />agricultural water providers (The New Cache La Poudre Irrigating Company and the Highland <br />Ditch Company) and their potential for dual water system development. This part of the study <br />has significant potential to result in a future loan from the Construction Fund/Severance Tax <br />Perpetual Base Account. The study would be coordinated through CSU, but has a number of <br />supporters who will contribute cash, in-kind services, and letters of support. Dr. John Wilkins- <br />Wells, and Dr. Terence Podmore, have developed a detailed scope of work. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />Location Map <br />
