The wells are generally constructed at <br />depths of between seventy and one-hundred feet. The City currently has fourteen <br />wells which supply water to a domestic distribution system for service throughout the <br />City. Additionally, the City has several wells which are used in separate irrigation <br />systems for irrigation of certain parks and open space areas, as well as the City-owned <br />golf course and cemetery. Table 3 shows the adjudicated well water rights owned by <br />the City. <br /> <br />Table 3 - Well Water Rights <br /> <br />Well Name <br /> <br />Re Istratlon ** <br />1<8460 <br />1<8461 <br />1<8462 <br />8463f<R18465f<f< <br />f<8464 <br />1<8466 <br />1<8467 <br />8468f<f< <br />1<8469 <br />1<8470 <br />2005F <br />2880F <br />5493F <br />18104F <br />0M5195F <br />f<111 <br />f<F1046 <br />1<8473 <br />f<F84 72 <br />f<F72 <br />5494F <br /> <br />Water Case ** <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />93C\N172 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />95C\N137 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W5708 <br />W7804 <br /> <br />Adudlc:ated Water <br />400 <br />400 <br />450 <br />950 <br />500 <br />400 <br />400 <br />450 <br />425 <br />1.100 <br />1.100 <br />1,100 <br />1,200 <br />600 <br />1.000 <br />225 <br />600 <br />250 <br />1,000 <br />1,000 <br />600 <br />14.150 <br /> <br />No.1 <br />No.2 <br />No.3 <br />No.4 <br />No.5 <br />No.7 <br />No.8 <br />No.9 <br />No. 10 <br />No. 11 <br />No. 12 <br />No. 13 <br />No. 14 Chealrs <br />No. 15 S.

Pumping the City wells eventually causes depletions to the <br />South Platte River system which during time that the wells are out of priority need to be <br />replaced to protect other water rights in the basin. These City wells are currently part of <br />the Groundwater Appropriators of the South Platte, or GASP, substitute supply plan <br />whereby the depletions caused by pumping the wells are replaced with historic <br /> <br />Page19 <br />
