The District entered into this project to <br /> secure water supplies for projected future growth and demand in drought years. The District's water supply is <br /> obtained by a lease with the Beaver Park Water, Inc., which owns and operates Brush Hollow Reservoir. The 1990 <br /> lease has a 30 year term, and provides an increasing amount of water each year, 751 AF in 2006, leveling out at <br /> 1,000 AF in 2020. In drought years, the amount available to PWD is further reduced below the contract amount. <br /> Future build-out demand in 2040 is projected to be 1,200 acre-feet for about 8,000 residents and 3,240 taps. <br /> This project saw the acquisition of water rights from the purchase of the Goodwin Ranch, 10/ 12 of the Pleasant <br /> Valley Ditch, with a change in use and change in point of diversion to approximately 6 miles downstream. With <br /> the construction of well infrastructure, a storage tank, pump station, and pipeline, water can now be diverted <br /> from 6 shallow alluvial wells immediately north of the Arkansas River and pumped approximately 6 miles through <br /> a 12- inch transmission line to Brush Hollow Reservoir or to the District's water plant. The Project also saw the <br /> installation of a flow monitoring gage at the headgate of the Pleasant Valley Ditch in support of the District 's <br /> augmentation plan. <br /> P R O J E C T D A T A <br /> - <br /> Sponsor: Penrose Water District County: Fremont Water Source: Arkansas River <br /> - Water Activity Enterprise Pleasant Valley Ditch <br /> Type of Loan: Water Rights Purchase/ Pipeline Board Approval Date: January 2007 <br /> Terms of Loan: $8,615,684 at 3.25% for 30 years <br /> Design Engineer: GMS Inc. <br /> Contractor: Pate Construction Company <br /> Project Elements: water rights purchase, well construction, storage tank and booster pump station <br /> construction, 36,400 LF of pipeline construction <br /> Water Project Loan Program - Project Summary <br />
