This resulted in a breach <br /> of the river bank between the Company's diversion structure and the upstream Ken Mitchell Ponds <br /> headgate owned by the City of Brighton. Approximately 120 feet of the east bank was washed out, <br /> directing the river away from the Company's diversion. The City of Brighton owns the property where the <br /> breach is located and the City of Aurora owns the Prairie Water Pipeline which was exposed by this breach. <br /> Neither the City of Brighton nor Aurora planned any immediate repairs to the breach. In order to restore <br /> flows to its headgate, the Company constructed a cofferdam on the east bank of the river to close this <br /> breach in July 2015. <br /> PROJECT DATA <br /> Sponsor: Brighton Ditch County: Adams Water Source: South Platte <br /> Company River <br /> Type of Project: Ditch Rehabilitation Board Approval Date: September 2015 <br /> Loan Terms: (Original) $225,000 for 30 years ® 2.55% (Final) $225,000 for 30 years ® 2.55% <br /> Design Engineer: Deere Et Ault Consultants, Inc. <br /> Contractor: Claystone Construction, LLC <br /> Project Elements: Repair bank breach on the South Platte River adjacent to diversion dam. <br /> Water Project Loan Program - Project Summary <br />
