<br />- Medium Density - 8 units/ acre <br />- High Density -16 units/acre <br />- Mixed Use - 50 percent of land is residential at 8 units/ acre <br /> <br />2.1.3 Existing Water Facilities <br /> <br />Erie's existing water supply consists of ditch, reservoir, Colorado Big-Thompson <br />(CBT)l, and Windy Gap2 surface water supplies. Figure 2-1 shows the location of the <br />ditches, reservoirs, water, and wastewater treatment plants. Raw CBT and Windy <br />Gap water are delivered to Erie from the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy <br />District (NCWCD) via a pipeline to the potable water treatment facility in the <br />southwest portion of the service area. Erie's storage reservoirs (Erie, Prince, and <br />Thomas Reservoirs) are also in the southwest portion of the service area. Raw water <br />pipelines convey this water to the treatment plant and to/from Thomas Reservoir. <br />Potable water is distributed from the water treatment facility to customers. <br /> <br />The Southern Water Reclamation Facility (SWRF) near Old Town currently treats all <br />of Erie's wastewater. This facility has a capacity of 1.2 million gallons per day (mgd) <br />and is being expanded to 1.6 mgd. Treated effluent is discharged into Coal Creek. <br /> <br />Table 2-1 provides a summary on Erie's water supplies, facilities, and planning efforts <br />in 2006. <br /> <br />1 CBT water is water provided to Erie through the Colorado Big-Thompson system. This system diverts <br />water west of the Continental divide near Grand Lake, to over 30 cities and towns and for irrigation of <br />693,000 acres on the Front Range. <br />2 Windy Gap water is water delivered to the Front Range through the Windy Gap project and the CBT <br />system. Water is pumped from Windy Gap reservoir Gust west of Granby) to Lake Granby where it is <br />conveyed through the CBT system to Front Range water providers. <br /> <br />T:\9228 - Erie\Conservation Plan\Completion Reports\50% Completion Report.doc <br />
