Feasibility Study <br />Water Supply & Storage Company <br />Grand River Ditch At Windy Point Pipe Project <br />Kluver Reservoir Outlet/Travis Road Project <br />Introduction (Need for the Project) <br />Water Supply & Storage Company (the "Company " or "WSSC") has two facilities which have been <br />damaged or have been deteriorating and need immediate rehabilitation. The Grand River Ditch was <br />damaged by a breach in 2003. The repairs done at the time left the ditch with inadequate capacity to <br />handle its fully adjudicated water rights. The Company deferred implementing a final, full rehabilitation <br />of the breach zone pending resolution of the claim and law suit with the National Park Service. That <br />claim was settled and the litigation dismissed in May, 2008. The Board has determined that the <br />Company should go forward immediately to reestablish the full capacity of the ditch in the breach zone. <br />The second group of facilities needing immediate rehabilitation are the outlet channel, embankment, <br />water conveyances and control gates between the Company's Kluver Reservoir and Reservoir #4 , at the <br />intersection of the outlet channel with Travis Road. The embankment within which the water <br />conveyance pipes and control gates and the associated retaining walls have failed, must be removed <br />and replaced. In addition to the Company's concerns about the integrity of the water related facilities, <br />the road surface has been condemned and abandoned by the County and a temporary detour has been <br />constructed pending final reconstruction of all the facilities. <br />This project is a joint effort with the Larimer County Road & Bridge Department (the "County"). Project <br />funding responsibility will be split about evenly between the Company and the County. <br />Project Sponsor <br />The project sponsor is Water Supply & Storage Company, a Colorado mutual ditch corporation. <br />Founded in 1891, WSSC has 600 shares outstanding and about 165 shareholders. The shareholder <br />group includes three municipalities, the cities of Thornton, Fort Collins and Greeley. The cities own <br />about 335 of the outstanding shares. The remaining shares are owned by about 160 family farmers. All <br />the water owned by the Company is and has been historically diverted for agricultural uses, principally <br />flood and sprinkler irrigation of about 40,000 acres in Northern Colorado. <br />WSSC - GRD at Windy Pt & Kluver/Travis Rd Projects 4 <br />December 2008 <br />
