Bellvue Treatment Plant (Greeley Filter Pipeline) Total River Diversions <br />• Complete record over 1950-2002 <br />• Historic diversions have ranged from approximately 7,000 ac-ft/yr in the 1950s and <br />1960s, growing to 19,000 ac-ft/yr - 20,000 ac-ft/yr over the last 5 years. <br />• Sporadic records of transbasin deliveries (C-BT - 0304620, Windy Gap-0304700, <br />through Horsetooth Reservoir-0303772, and through Barnes Meadow Reservoir- <br />0303683) and deliveries from other storage units and ditch headgates. No pattern to <br />availability of specific coding associated with these database entries was evidenced. <br />5) Boyd Filter Plant (Structure ID 0400702) <br />The Boyd Potable Treatment Plant was constructed in 1968 along the Greeley Loveland <br />Irrigation Company (GLIC) system to provide summer peaking supplies. The Boyd plant was <br />originally built with an operating capacity of 10 mgd and subsequently enlarged in 1976 (20 <br />mgd), 1987 (30 mgd), and 1999 (40 mgd). Water for the Boyd plant comes directly from Boyd <br />Lake and Lake Loveland. Both storage units are operated by GLIC. Water from the Boyd plant is <br />pumped to Gold Hill Reservoir, located on the western edge of the City, prior to delivery to <br />customers. Greeley is investigating options to expand the use of the Boyd plant for year-round <br />use through negotiations with the GLIC Board. The GLIC system is also used to provide non- <br />potable supplies for use in the western portions of the City's service area. <br />HydroBase Data <br />The monthly data over the 1950-2002 period of record pertaining to the potable treatment <br />operations include the following: <br />Boyd Filter Plant Total River Diversions <br />• Complete record over 1996-2000 and 2002-2003 <br />• Historic diversions of approximately 8,000 ac-ft/yr with close to 13,000 ac-ft in 2001. <br />• Sporadic records of source of diversions (DivClass), including Lake Loveland Dupe ID <br />(0404877), Horseshoe Lake (0404123), Boyd Lake (0404110), Barnes Ditch (0400501), <br />and Adams Tunnel (0404634). <br />The City of Greeley's total potable uses include diversions at the Bellvue Treatment Plant, the <br />Boyd Potable Treatment Plant, and Pleasant Valley Pipeline. The City's total potable uses were <br />analyzed using the available HydroBase data over the 1998-2002 period for the Bellvue <br />Treatment Plant and Boyd Potable Treatment Plant, as summarized graphically in Figure 6. <br />Page 11 of 21 <br />
