<br />Pueblo's Commitment to Future Water Use Efficiency Measures (Continued) <br /> <br />In our continuing commitment to our customers to provide the highest quality of <br />water at the lowest possible cost, the Board members and staff have been working <br />for over two years on developing a new water treatment master plan to serve <br />Pueblo's needs through the year 2020. The driving forces behind the development <br />of this plan were fourfold: <br /> <br />- Growth and increased daily treated water demands. <br />- The age of our existing facilities (last major edition 1992-93). <br />- The new and improved technology for water treatment that is available <br />today. <br />- Existing and anticipated changes in the EPAlColorado Health Rules and <br />Regulations. <br /> <br />This new master plan calls for expansion of the existing Whitlock Water Treatment <br />Plant site to accommodate the enhanced and expanded water treatment plant <br />facility. The new facilities will include 21 million gallons per day of additional filter <br />capacity; a 60" pipeline from Pueblo Reservoir to the Whitlock Treatment Plant <br />with a connecting line to the Comanche pump station; a new and improved <br />21 million gallons per day sedimentation facility; and a new two million gallon tank. <br />The Board will continue its water use efficiency planning methods while the design <br />of the new plant is in progress. Every effort will be made to make the new facility <br />as water efficient as possible. <br /> <br />-21- <br />
