DNR COLORADO <br /> CO g Colorado Water <br /> Conservation Board <br /> Department of Natural Resources <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 718 <br /> Denver, Co 80203 <br /> Memorandum <br /> To: Greg Johnson, Water Supply Planning Section Chie <br /> From: Kevin Reidy a Ben Wade <br /> Water Supply Planning <br /> Date: January 24, 2019 <br /> Subject: Water Efficiency Grant Fund Recommendation for the Town of Eagle <br /> Recommendation: <br /> The Water Supply Planning staff recommends that Greg Johnson, Section Chief, <br /> approve a Water Efficiency Grant to develop a Water Efficiency Plan in the amount of <br /> $29,962 for the Town of Eagle. <br /> Summary of Grant Application <br /> The Town of Eagle is a non-covered entity in the Colorado River Basin using surface water to <br /> provide service to its customers as well as serve its "out of town" tourist population. Eagle's <br /> permanent population is estimated to increase by 1.9% through 2028 but is not likely to <br /> become a covered entity in the next several years. Beyond a growing population, the Town's <br /> water supplies are also susceptible to the current drought in the Colorado River Basin system, <br /> wildfire and landslide. <br /> The Town of Eagle estimates the water savings for this Plan will be a reduction in system wide <br /> water use by 10% or 127 acre-feet through 2023. <br /> The total cost of the project is $40,922. Eagle is committing 27% matching funds in the <br /> form of $5,000 of in-kind services and $5,960 in cash. CWCB staff has reviewed and <br /> evaluated the grant application and has determined that the proposal meets or <br /> exceeds the CWCB guidelines for reviewing grant proposals. Attached is the internal <br /> checklist used to evaluate the application. <br /> Attachment: Evaluation Checklist <br />
