It was <br />discovered after e\.'tensive research (irrigation companies, Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board, Engineer, SC,), that no company manufactures a I inch <br />Raw Water meter. The best choice was a meter manufactured <br />by Master Meter (see addendum #7). This was by far the biggest delay to <br />the project The metering, tapping and pipe installation took approximately <br />18 months to complete. Much time was taken to locate the existing utilities: <br />phone, water, sewer and gas. The utilities need to be removed, or at times <br />grade of pipeline changed due to existing utility, Sewer lines were often <br />encountered and the grade was unchangeable. The large amount of rock has <br />been a major slow down, The use of the trencher, however, saved bedding <br />and time, Another time consuming operation of this project has been retro <br />fitting existing sites with meters.
