This table shows that the Town will not need to obtain additional PV water until <br />after 2015. The current Laramie Fox Hill Water availability will increase as each <br />parcel of land is annexed into the town. The current projected annexations that <br />will occur over the next few years is 665.3 acres, which will yield approximately <br />an additional 133.06 acre feet of Laramie Fox Hill water. However, this water will <br />not be needed as shown by the projection above. <br />It is the Town's desire to require new development to purchase Lost Creek Water <br />for each development. The Town is considering the sale of excess water supply <br />to those open lots and property within the existing Town limits. <br />H. SYSTEM SIZING <br />The volume of water produced by the existing wells and any new water from the <br />Lost Creek Aquifer must meet the projected maximum day demand. Maximum <br />day flow occurs during the hot weather season when irrigation demand is the <br />highest. The available supply from the existing wells is 453,600 gallons per day <br />or 315 gallons per minute (gpm). In 2005, the maximum day flow was reported <br />to be 356,300 gallons (248 gpm) or 80 percent of the available well capacity. In <br />2004, the maximum day flow was reported to be 362,300 gallons (252 gpm) or <br />80 percent of the available well capacity. <br />Projected maximum day flow for 2030, as indicated in the Water Supply <br />Evaluation Report, is 1,052,233 gallons. This means that the Town would need <br />to obtain a supply that will deliver the difference of 598,600 gallons per day or <br />416 (gpm). An eight-inch line would be able to handle the new supply at a flow <br />rate of 416 gpm. <br />I. DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVE FACILITIES <br />Two alternatives were researched In the development of the Town's water <br />system improvement Phase II. The least expensive and easiest to implement is <br />the following Alternative 1. In the event that a successful contract is not able to <br />be made between the Town and PV Water Holdings, LLC, then Alternative 2 <br />below would need to be considered. The Water Line Alternatives Map, included <br />in Appendix B, shows an alternative 2A which was originally included to provide <br />cost information to the Town about bringing water to Keenesburg from the <br />Roggen wells and is for future information only and is not a part of this request <br />for funding. <br />Alternative 1 <br />The proposed facilities for this alternative include approximately 5.5 miles of <br />water transmission line, wellhead facilities, a water blending station, a lift station, <br />Feasibility Study -Keenesburg, CO <br />1/23/2009 6 <br />
