WSSC assesses a delivery charge of 15 percent for this trade. <br />WSSC Exchange with the City of Greeley <br />The City of Greeley will take direct flow water in excess of their 12.5 cfs direct flow right at the <br />Greeley Water Treatment Plant. In exchange, WSSC will take a reduction in its direct flow <br />entitlement at the Larimer County Canal. The amount of reduction is proportional to the amount <br />of water in excess of the City of Greeley's direct flow rights as measured at the mouth of the <br />Poudre Canyon. Greeley typically repays the debt at a later time with a release from Milton <br />Seaman Reservoir. This exchange is typically operated in late summer. <br />WSSC Exchange with the City of Fort Collins <br />The City of Fort Collins can receive water stored in Chambers Lake through its Water Treatment <br />Plant No. 1 intake in the Poudre Canyon by trading its C-BT water in Horsetooth Reservoir with <br />WSSC for water stored in Chambers Lake. This exchange is generally operated in late summer. <br />W S SC Exchange with NPIC <br />This agreement allows the NPIC to take out-of-priority diversions at the North Poudre Supply <br />Canal against the Larimer County Canal. Prior to the mid-1970's, NPIC repaid Larimer County <br />Canal with North Poudre Reservoir No. 6 releases. Since the mid-1970's, NPIC has booked over <br />water from their C-BT account in Horsetooth Reservoir to WSSC's C-BT account in Horsetooth <br />Reservoir and repayment has been made through a simultaneous release from Horsetooth <br />Reservoir to the Cache la Poudre River. This exchange is generally operated in late summer. <br />WSSC, City_ of Fort Collins, and Platte River Power Authority Agreement <br />Decreed as Case No. W-9322-78, this three-way exchange involving the City of Fort Collins, <br />Platte River Power Authority, and WSSC provides evaporative cooling water to the Rawhide <br />Power Plant, owned by Platte River Power Authority. The water provided to Rawhide Power <br />Plant is water first used by the City of Fort Collins and originally supplied by WSSC and the <br />City of Fort Collins. The source of renewable water is "new foreign waters" and "newly <br />developed in-basin waters" supplied by WSSC through Grand River Ditch and Long Draw <br />Reservoir and by Fort Collins through Michigan Ditch and Joe Wright Reservoir. Detailed <br />information on the Platte River Power Authority agreement is available in SPDSS Task 3 - <br />Notes from Water District 3 Meeting memorandum. <br />City of Thornton <br />Decreed as Case No. 87CW332, the City of Thornton changed the use of 283.354 shares of <br />WSSC and 1.25 shares of Jackson Ditch Company from agricultural use in Larimer and Weld <br />Counties to municipal use by the City of Thornton. Currently, Thornton is not taking any water <br />pursuant to this decree, however, they intend to do so in the future. When water is taken <br />pursuant to this decree, Thornton plans to construct a series of pump stations on WSSC <br />Reservoir No. 4, from which it will withdraw its full pro rata share of WSSC and Jackson Ditch <br />Company water. <br />WaterSupply&Storage Memo.doc <br />19 of 21 <br />
