These maps show the District boundaries as well as the service areas of the water providers that will be participating in the conduit" The first map begins at Pueblo Reservoir and continues to the Town of Fowler. The second map shows the middle section of the conduit from Fowler to Las Animas including Crowley County. The third map shows the easternmost portion of the project including the spur that will extend North to the Town of Eads in Kiowa County. Project Description and Alternatives The purpose of the Arkansas Valley Conduit is to provide a relatively clean source of drinking water to the domestic water users in the lower Arkansas Valley. This conduit will begin at Pueblo Reservoir where an outlet works already exists. This outlet is currently providing water to several communities within the District boundaries. This outlet works has reserved 30.94 cfs of capacity for the Arkansas Valley Conduit based on the original calculations of the Fryingpan- Arkansas Project. The conduit will continue east making deliveries of water to each entity along the way until it reaches the city of Lamar. Along the way there will be several spurs that will take off of the main conduit and provide water to regional treatment facilities. From the outlet works at Pueblo Dam it is expected that the conduit will follow the Bessemer Ditch right-of--way to a point on the St. Charles Mesa east of Pueblo. This will allow for a gravity flow pipeline, thus alleviating the need for any pumping. The conduit will start as a 42"
