LINCOLN PARK CROOKED DITCH COMPANY <br />DITCH REHABii.iTATinN <br />_.~~;~ <br />"`°': _ <br />~;_ _, ~4 <br />Proiect Descriation <br />LPCDC, a Colorado mutual ditch company, provides irrigation water to a 500-acre service area in <br />Lincoln Park, immediately south and adjacent to Canon City, in unincorporated Fremont County. <br />LPCDC has several senior water rights and diverts from the Arkansas River through the South Canon <br />Ditch. The LPCDC ditch system has several branches totaling 62,220 lineal feet (lf) or about 11.8 miles <br />in length. The ditch consists of 29,075 if of 36" and 8,5401f of 24" of concrete pipe, 16,085 if of 18" <br />concrete/PVC pipe, and 8,5201f of open ditch. The ditch suffered from significant water loss, and the <br />deteriorated pipe posed a threat to property and individuals should the pipe fail. The initial proposal was <br />to replace the most deteriorated pipe system with HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) over atwo-year <br />period, in order to stop water loss and restore system reliability. Given the cost of this alternative, <br />potential construction conflicts, and easement issues, the option was replaced with a''/2-inch polyester <br />resin felt tube pipe lining option. The liner project was bid out in September of 2007 and was awarded to <br />Western Slope Utilities, Breckenridge, Colorado, to include the 36-inch and 18-inch pipe sections. The <br />project commenced construction January of 2008 and was completed in May of 2008. <br />Proiect Data <br />Sponsor: Lincoln Park Crooked Ditch Co.
