Currently, the Authority members rely <br />mainly on gro"undwater aquifers to supply the area's M&I needs. Because this source is <br />nonrenewable, members have been working to identify new supplies of water and opportunities to <br />share resources and infrastructure to reduce dependence on groundwater. The Authority intends to <br />acquire capacity in the East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District (ECCV) Northern <br />Supply Pipeline (Pipeline) as a means to convey renewable water supplies, recapture consumable <br />return flows, and increase operational flexibility. The Pipeline is a 48-inch steel pipe that runs from <br />Barr Lake to ECCV's service area (located to the east of Cherry Creek Reservoir). The capacity is 47 <br />million gallons/day (mgd). The Pipeline is a regional transmission line and will deliver water both <br />to storage reservoirs and directly to Authority members who will then deliver the water through their <br />distribution systems. The Authority is acquiring a total of 31.98 mgd of excess capacity from <br />ECCV. The four members seeking funding from the CWCB will be acquiring 6.55 mgd of this total <br />capacity. Final purchase and operating agreements are still under negotiation. It is expected that the <br />purchase will take place in late spring 2009. <br />__ , ~ _.. . _ __ _, ; , - <br />. , ~ .` , SMYYSA M-a~T«~ aroi.e~ ovN~.w ~ <br />~~ <br />wurr ~,..,......_,_.,. <br />, , __ „,,... <br />Location Map <br />
