<br />ATl'AC'FIMmI' B <br /> <br />Executive Summary <br />Westminster Reclaimed Water System <br />Preliminary Design Study <br /> <br />t INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />''''"''..... <br /> <br />_ The Westminster. Reclaimed Water System (WRWS) will be one of the largest examples of <br />conservation and wise stewardship of water resources in the State of Colorado and the western <br />United States. It will ultimately deliver up to 3,700 acre-feet of reclaimed water to irrigate large <br />public turf areas such as golf courses and parks, and provide water for lakes, ponds, and wetlands. <br />With design of all system components beginning in June 1996, an initial I, I 00 acre-feet phase will <br />be in service in the summer of 1999. The irritial 1,100 acre- feet phase is planned to serve Legacy <br />Ridge Golf Course, Countrydale Golf Course, Hyland Hills Golf Course, City Park, and <br />Westmirrster City HaiL The WRWS will reduce demands orr the potable water system and <br />- promote the wise and efficient use of a scarce natural resource. The water being reclaimed would <br />otherwise be discharged to Big Dry Creek. <br /> <br />II. SITE IDENTIFICATION <br /> <br />A total of 195 existing and proposed sites that could be irrigated with reclaimed water were <br />identified and evaluated. 104 o[those sites are controlled by the City of Westminster and 91 sites <br />are controlled by other entities. Seventy percent (70%) of the acreage and possilrle reclaimed <br />water use is accounted for by' golf courses and parks. Historic water use information was <br />collected and evaluated for each site to estimate irrigation requirements. Approximately 5,400 <br />acre-feet of possible reclaimed water use was iderrtified, which exceeds the amount of wastewater <br />that will be available for reclamation. <br /> <br />Final: August 6, 1996 <br /> <br />ES-I <br /> <br />.
