Charles Mesa Water District is requesting a grant thru HB04-1365. The District <br />currently serves 4023 water taps east of Pueblo with a service are of approximately 64 square <br />miles. In the past few years the District has been experiencing an increase in it's unaccounted for <br />water. In an effort to determine the cause of the increase the District has engaged Young <br />Technology Group to help develop a plan to reduce the loss. This will include a review of current <br />water accounting practices, possible leak detection survey, analyzing the Cllrrent meters used at <br />our water treatment facilities, and water meters used in the distribution syste,m on customer's <br />accounts. The District currently has an average estimated 15% loss of the water produced. The <br />average unaccounted for water is 346 AF per year from 2001 to 2007. <br />The St.. Charles Mesa Water District does not have the financial means at this time to <br />complete the study required to properly analyze the District needs.Upon completion of the study <br />the District will be able to budget for the required repairs or facility upgrades. <br />The St. Charles Mesa Water District appreciates your consideration of our request, and <br />looks forward to working with the Colorado Water Conservation Board on this project. <br /> <br />Sincerely <br /> <br />I}~~~ P/7~ <br /> <br />~arles Norton / (<l; <br />President, Board of Directors <br /> <br />LJ~~ ~ .dP~~~ <br /> <br />David K.
