Water Project Construction Loan Program-Project Data <br />Borrower: Central Weld County Water District County: Larimer <br />Project Name: Dry Creek Reservoir <br />Drainage Basin: South Platte <br />Total Project Cost: $21,600,000 <br />Type of Borrower: Municipal (Middle/High) <br />CWCB STTFPBA Fund Loan: $4,945,500 <br />Project Type: New Reservoir <br />Water Source: CBT <br />Funding Sources: CWCB, LTWD, CWCWD <br />Aver. Delivery: 8,850 acre-feet <br />Interest Rate: 3.70% Term: 20 years <br />The Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) and Little Thompson Water District (LTWD) are <br />each applying for a CWCB loan to construct a new water storage reservoir in a 50/50 partnership. <br />Both districts would jointly build, own and operate the proposed reservoir. This loan is in addition to a <br />previous loan for a smaller 5200 acre-feet reservoir for $3,937,500, approved in November 2002. <br />LTWD and CWCWD jointly own the Carter Lake Filter Plant that treats Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) <br />water. Currently, the filter plant has no raw water storage facility. All water treated by the plant is <br />delivered directly from Carter Lake to the filter plant through the St. Vrain Supply Canal. Consequently, <br />the Districts are entirely dependent on availability of water from Carter Lake. In wet years, the Districts <br />are unable to treat and store all of the water to which they are entitled. In dry years, the Districts can <br />have a shortage of water and are forced to meet their demands with water from outside entities. In <br />addition, any condition that would interrupt supply from Carter Lake such as maintenance to Carter <br />Lake or the St. Vrain Supply Canal also would cause interruption in operation of the treatment plant. <br />The proposed project, located 2-3 miles southeast of Carter Lake, would include construction of an <br />approximately 8,850 acre-foot reservoir, including a 55-foot high, 4,820-foot long earthen dam with <br />emergency spillway and outlet works, construction of a 6,300 GPM pump station, and approx. 6500 If <br />of new 24" ductile iron pipe line to connect to the existing 20" line at the NW corner of the reservoir <br />leading to the Filter Plant. The reservoir will also gravity fill through this pipeline. <br />d Springs <br />Location Map <br />
