<br />The larger dairies have been very efficient in using the water that is delivered through the <br />District's taps. A typical dairy may reuse the water three or four times before it is released from <br />the operation. Tap water is first used for cooling the milk in heat exchangers, then used for <br />cleaning equipment, and then used for cleaning the parlor and holding pens. Tap water is also <br />consumed by the dairy herd and converted to milk for resale throughout the region. The District <br />encourages dairy and other agricultural business owners to utilize non-treated water in their <br />operations when possible. <br /> <br />Plans for Future CWCWD Measures <br />The Central Weld County Water District does not plan on restricting or limiting the use of the <br />District's water by the few commercial users, including dairies, poultry farms, and feedlots. <br />CWCWD does not plan to require any specific process changes at our customer's sites. <br /> <br />WATER REUSE SYSTEMS <br /> <br />Current CWCWD Measures <br />The Central Weld County Water District currently does not promote or require the reuse of water <br />for potable or non-potable uses. The District does not operate a sanitary or storm sewer system <br />or have access to waste water plant outfall for reuse. The eight (8) municipalities served by the <br />District have sanitary and storm water systems, Large feedlots and/or dairies on the system <br />have systems compliant to Weld County health regulations. <br /> <br />Plans for Future CWCWD Measures <br />The Central Weld County Water District currently promotes the development of future non- <br />potable water systems within the District, especially within the municipalities served. The <br />District is also in the midst of a water rate study. <br />
