Delivery: 257 acre-feet <br /> <br />Interest Rate: 3.75% Term: 30 years <br /> <br />WHIC owns and operates an existIng piped Irrigation system located In the Willow HeIghts <br />SubdivIsion and Duke Hili communIty In the Town of Hotchkiss. The system was constructed In <br />1976. and water Is obtained through the Duke Ditch, which diverts water from Leroux Creek. Water <br />Is supplied to' about 95 residential lots and a Town parl<. The total Irrigated area Is about SO acres, <br />and primarily use Is to irrigate lawns and gardens. The system consists of a headgate, <br />approximately SOOO lineal feet of main distribution piping (10", S" and SO), and approximately 3000 <br />feet of lateral piping. Water flows by gravtty and lots ere served by Yo" Individual taps. The system <br />was Installed in the trench above the sanitary sewer and on the same grade. In places It 15 very <br />doep, up to 15-17 feet. The orlglnal piping was a lightweight plastic pipe, and Improper backfllUng <br />resulted In crushed pipes in some areas, and slgnfftcant plugging problems. As a result of the <br />blockages, and reduced flow due to minerai depostts, the overall flow capacity Is less than 1/3 of <br />tI1e original. The system Is completely obstructed Intwo places, and typically only 12 to 14 Usars <br />can be served at a time. The project Includes Installing all new distribution JInes and lateral tap <br />lInes, along with cJeanouts snd/solation valves. The new pipes wfll be Installed over the top of the <br />existing system but at a standard depth of 22 - 30". The piping will ba heavter PVC, located above <br />the exlstJng pipe, but offset several feet to eliminate sewer manhole conflIcts. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br />1----- <br />" 'Hotchki",. <br />I IBM5,,-;r <br />I <br />, <br />.I. <br />'.. ...., ~. \'4 <br /> <br />-~J .J\"'; <br />~ <br /> <br />Location Map <br />
