the State of Colorado's primary drinking' water standards for nitrates and
uranium/radioactivity levels. In addition, the total dissolved solids concentration
exceeds twice the recommended level.
To comply with the mandate, the City has received a Federal grant of
$7.5 million, but has also had to borrow more than $18 million to bring the new water
source to Fort Lupton. The City is constructing pipelines, a water treatment plant
(WTP), and storage improvements in order to comply with the mandate. This factor
has "opened the eyes" of the City to appreciate the value of its water resources and
the importance of using these resources wisely. The purpose of this water
use/efficiency plan is to identify ways Fort Lupton can educate and encourage its
water customers to better use the City's water resources.
