7.0 OPINION OF FEASIBILITY <br />This repair and improvement of the Canterbury Tunnel water supply is important to <br />ensure the District's ability to provide a reliable water supply of good quality to its <br />customers. As documented previously, if these repairs are not implemented, the District <br />is expected to continue to experience a sizable number of frozen mains and taps during <br />winter months, which could jeopardize the water quality of the system. The District will <br />also face the risk of failing to meet their demands in spring, prior to the runoff season, <br />and during the peak use days of summer. Such consequences have a sizable economic <br />cost. <br />The preferred alternative, constructing a well that taps the Canterbury Tunnel and <br />pumping the supply via a pipeline to facilities in Evans Gulch, is considered to be <br />feasible and it addresses many of the District's major distribution and water supply <br />problems. The District has committed to pay for 28 percent of the project costs with <br />cash from grants it has secured and from its operating revenue. The financing plan <br />provided in Appendix D indicates that the remainder of the project is viable and can be <br />repaid by the District. <br />__,J W. W.
