treatment plant is designed to easily expand to 11 MGD. During the District's busiest
periods, current use does not exceed 5.9 MGD. Five treated water storage tanks are
located throughout the service area, ranging in size from 0.5 to 2.5 million gallons.
Water is delivered throughout NTM's service area by 78.7 miles of water mains.
In 2006 NTM diverted the largest volume in its history for a total of 2,800 acre-feet, just
under half of its entitlement. Atpre-drought (2000) per capita water use levels, the 100%
build out scenario (all developable acreage at 3 houses per acre and 2.62 people per
household) would translate into a total annual water demand of over 9,000 of per year.
Assuming full use of the 6,000 of from Denver, this would require an additional 3,000 of
from other water supplies. Even assuming 2006 per capita water use rates, at build out
NTM would require an additional 1,400 of of additional supply annually. As the number
of residents in Colorado and along the Front Range grows, new water supplies are
increasingly difficult and expensive to acquire. NTM recognizes that it must include
water conservation as an essential tool in managing current and future demands.
Waste Water Treatment and Storage
NTM contracts with Metro Wastewater for all wastewater treatment. NTM is responsible
for wastewater lines and pump stations required to deliver waste to Metro's system. As
NTM's service area continues to grow, so will the need for new and expanded wastewater
conveyance Ines.
6. Description of the project plan:
North Table Mountain Water and Sanitation District proposes to develop a Water
Conservation Plan using the CWCB's "Water Conservation Plan Development Guidance
Document" as a guide. NTM may adjust sections and worksheets as necessary to
represent its specific circumstances. NTM's Water Conservation Plan will be designed to
meet the requirements of House Bills 91-1154 and 04-1365 .
NTM will provide project oversight and proposes to hire Hydrosphere Resource
Consultants to assist in the development of the Water Conservation Plan. Hydrosphere
has experience working with the CWCB's guidance document and in writing plans that
meet and exceed State requirements. Table 5 below includes a detailed description of
work to be performed under each Project task including responsibilities, deliverables and
milestones. Attachment C provides additional details regarding the roles of specific
NTM and Hydrosphere prof ect team members. Table 6 is a proposed Proj ect schedule
including progress reports to the CWCB. Attachment F is the Project budget, including a
breakdown of hours by organization and staff member for each task. Funding sources are
listed in Table 7.
All tasks generally follow the CWCB guidance document unless otherwise noted. The
level of analysis undertaken in any specific task will depend on the availability of
existing information. Extensive new research or financial and/or planning analyses that
would be more appropriately addressed in a Master Plan will not be completed under this
Project due to the resources this would require.
