These data <br />wer (, in turn, taken from the State of Colorado Demography section and are summarized in Table 3 -3. <br />Table 3-3.

It is important to note that many of these areas and water <br />proN iders identified in the SWSI needs assessment: (a) have demands less than 300 AF /YR, (b) are located in <br />u orporated portions of the county, and /or (c) are located relatively far from the A -LP Project. Because <br />of d ese factors, Brown and Caldwell has focused in this initial demand study on the larger water providers in <br />Arcl uleta and La Plata Counties that are within proximity to Lake Nighthorse. <br />Inaddition to reviewing this SWSI needs assessment list, Brown and Caldwell was provided with letters of <br />inte st to purchase A -LP Project water from the State. This included letters from the La Plata West Water <br />Dist ict and La Plata - Archuleta Water Authority. <br />this information and data, Brown and Caldwell, the following water providers became the focus of the <br />A investigation: <br />City of Durango, Colorado <br />La Plata Archuleta Water District <br />La Plata West Water Authority <br />Lake Durango Water Authority <br />Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation District and San Juan Water Conservancy District <br />Town of Bayfield, Colorado <br />�crra j y #` i a .,p I.doi.x <br />
