Final Report on Happy Scenes Water System, #1 Inc. Water System Upgrade <br />Funding Source: Southwest Basin Account <br />The Happy Scenes Water System serves potable water to homes, located north of Vallecito <br />Reservoir, in La Plata County, Colorado. The System serves 60 taps and an estimated population <br />of 160 people. In past years the system was fed by water from springs. Recently the water has <br />been shown to be influenced by surface water. The required filtration and treatment to make <br />this water safe was very expensive. The cost of monitoring made this option financially <br />unfeasible. A new well was drilled and a new treatment building was constructed. <br />It is at this point that the System came to the Colorado Water Conservation Board with a <br />request for grant money to complete this project. The System received a grant for $50,000. This <br />money allowed for three stages of construction to be completed and the new well fed system <br />to replace the old system. The three stages or "tasks" are as follows: <br />TASK 1— Preparation of interior of pump house for equipment <br />Description of Task <br />Build the chlorination room <br />Install chlorination door and main entry door <br />Install four ventilation windows <br />Insulation of ceiling <br />Installation of attic floor and access door <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 with a water proof paint <br />Trimming the exterior <br />This work was completed on a time and materials basis by Quentin Wray, Inc. <br />Total cost: $8,008 <br />TASK 2— Purchase and installation of pumping equipment <br />Description of Task <br />Purchase and install well pump, Two booster pumps, treatment equipment, Pump controls, <br />two pressure tanks, piping in pump house, meters, backup and supplemental equipment. <br />This work was completed by Brooks Well Service <br />Total cost: $35,244 <br />
