Scope of Work <br />WATER ACTIVITY NAME — Water System Upgrade <br />GRANT RECIPIENT — Happy Scenes Water System, #1 Inc. <br />FUNDING SOURCE — Southwest Basin Account <br />INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND <br />The Happy Scenes Water System (System) serves potable water to homes, located north of <br />Vallecito Reservoir, in La Plata County, Colorado. The System serves 60 taps and an estimated <br />population of 160 people. The non - profit water system is made up of members who each have one tap <br />and one vote. The elected Board of Directors is generally responsible for managing and running the <br />System. All System expenses are financed by assessments to the homeowners. <br />Currently, the System's water supply consists of two springs. Historically, the system has been <br />operated as, and considered, two individual systems, although the two sources were physically tied <br />together by valves that were opened to supply water to one of the systems while repairs were being made <br />to the other. Recently, however, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recognized <br />the system as one system, since the sources can be jointly used. As one system, the population is great <br />enough to classify the system as a Public Water System, with new criteria for water quality testing and <br />treatment. A test of the spring water has shown it to be surface water influenced. The treatment and <br />testing of this water will be cost prohibitive over the years to come. Therefore, the System has drilled a <br />new well, and has designed a small treatment system, with chlorination as the primary treatment. <br />OBJECTIVES <br />The Main objective of this project is to supply quality water that meets State Health <br />Department standards to the members of Happy Scenes Water System. The immediate objective <br />is to purchase and install the pump house equipment. <br />TASKS <br />TASK 1— Preparation of interior of pump house for equipment <br />Description of Task <br />Prior to installing equipment in the pump house the following needs done: <br />Build the chlorination room <br />Install chlorination door and main entry door <br />Install two ventilation windows <br />Apply wafer board to the interior of all walls to allow for mounting of pipe and <br />equipment <br />Painting the interior of the pump house <br />Cutting concrete for water pipes <br />
