Advantages <br /> • Potentially workable location on the river for Windsor's needs, but not as good as <br /> the other storage options. <br /> • This site could serve as an amenity for the Town. <br /> Disadvantages <br /> • There will be a higher cost for infrastructure and easements to convey water to <br /> the property from the Greeley No. 2 Canal. <br /> • There are higher costs related to infrastructure to divert from and back to the <br /> Cache la Poudre River. <br /> • There may be floodplain/floodway issues due to the proximity to the river. <br /> • Small size compared to Windsor's ultimate need. <br /> Alternative No. 4— Kyger Reservoir <br /> J\r <br /> The Kyger Reservoir is located between the Greeley No. 2 Canal and the Cache la <br /> Poudre River in the SE % of Section 13, T6N, R68W, in the 6th P.M. The Kyger OA- <br /> Reservoir is currently being lined and will undergo the 90-day leak test performance aft <br /> standard referenced in the August 1999 State Engineer Guidelines for Lining Criteria it 11;•11 <br /> last this summer or early fall, producing 1,000-1,100 acre-feet of storage. There is a <br /> pre-existing headgate off the Greeley No. 2 Canal that serves a lateral ditch that "4"'"' <br /> ultimately runs to the northwest corner of the Kyger property. This headgate and ditc D►AU <br /> will need to be repaired and expanded in order to adequately handle the desired flow <br /> rate of 20 cfs to the reservoir plus any additional carriage flow to meet the demands of <br /> other users along the ditch. <br /> Advantages <br /> • The reservoir will be completed by the end of 2013. <br /> • Good location in relation to the Greeley No. 2 Canal with some pre-existing <br /> infrastructure to divert and carry water to the reservoir. <br /> • Close proximity tothe Cache la Poudre River. <br /> • Location works well for the Town's augmentation obligations. <br /> • This site could serve as a future park amenity for the Town since it is located at <br /> the gateway into Town. <br /> • There is an ongoing feasibility study evaluating this location for a future water <br /> treatment plant (WTP). Storage at this location is valuable should a future WTP <br /> be constructed. <br /> • The 1,000-1,100 acre-feet is the ideal size to meet the Town's current and future <br /> non-potable water needs. <br />
