The population is <br />expected to exceed 600,000 people by 2050. Aurora's water supply comes from three major river <br />basins within Colorado and is sensitive to dry or drought conditions. During average and above <br />average years, the water supplies are ample to meet the City's water demands. However, during <br />dry conditions, water supplies are limited because the water rights owned by Aurora are relatively <br />junior. The Prairie Waters Project is a key part of Aurora Water's comprehensive water resource <br />planning. To meet the demands of its existing customers in dry years, and to meet the increasing <br />demands on the system in the future, the goal of the PWP is to supply 10,000 AF/yr by 2010 and <br />15,000 AF/yr by 2017. Aurora Water will accomplish these goals using reusable effluent from its <br />existing portfolio of decreed reusable water rights, supplemented by lawn irrigation return flows and <br />junior water rights. A key component of the PWP is the Conveyance System which includes three <br />pumping stations and a 60-inch diameter pipeline to convey raw water from near Brighton, Colorado <br />to a purification facility near Aurora Reservoir. <br />�kORTH <br />Barr <br />� ,� Lake <br />�; <br />� <br />BRIGHTON �¢ $, <br />Aurora <br />Gravel Lakes <br />_ Area <br />; <br />I� <br />Proposed <br />Pumping <br />Station �1 <br />DIA <br />Demar <br />Imaznatianal <br />Airport <br />.... .--- " !� <br />, �_T, � Pr � d <br />� a��u��� <br />\ Sfatinn k2 <br />E•4i0 <br />Easement <br />�`' Propos�d <br />pipeline <br />Raute <br />�� <br />, <br />i <br />Aurora <br />Reservoir <br />� � � I Water <br />a Pumpm� PUrifiCation <br />� Stat%n N3 �.aG4ktie'� : � <br />N <br />e - v. <br />` <br />,� , , �.... . .�_.- �..
