<br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />CITY OF FORT MORGAN <br /> <br />PLAN DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />The City of Fort Morgan is participating in the "Southern Water <br />Supply Project" which is a pipeline between Carter Lake and <br />Broomfield being constructed by the Northern Colorado Water <br />Conservancy District (NCWCD)_ <br /> <br />In order to serve Fort Morgan, an <br />constructed from about the midpoint of <br />pipeline to Fort Morgan; serving other <br /> <br />eastern pipeline will be <br />the Broomfield-Carter Lake <br />communities along the way. <br /> <br />Presently Fort Morgan obtains all of its municipal water from <br />wells, which are poor quality. with the pipeline, the City will <br />receive raw water that must be treated and in order to minimize the <br />size of the pipeline, a reservoir is needed near the City to supply <br />peak demands. <br /> <br />Figure 1 shows the general location of the City of Fort Morgan. <br /> <br />The contacts for the City are: <br /> <br />Kevin Crago, Director of utilities (867-3001) <br />City of Fort Morgan <br />710 E. Railroad Avenue <br />Fort Morgan, Colorado 80701 <br /> <br />Jack Odor, City Engineer (Consulting) (867-5298) <br />219 E. Railroad Avenue <br />Fort Morgan, Colorado 80701 <br /> <br />The construction of the pipeline from Broomfield to Carter Lake is <br />scheduled for construction in 1994. The eastern pipeline is not <br />yet scheduled but is still in the process of being planned and <br />designed; the entities to receive water are still being determined. <br /> <br />In order to size the pipeline to serve Fort Morgan, the City needs <br />to prepare a feasibility study which evaluates raw water reservoir <br />and water treatment plant sites. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> <br />When appropriate, it is recommended that the City apply to the CWCB <br />for feasibility study funds to evaluate reservoir sites relative to <br />water treatment plant sites and for sizing the main pipeline. <br /> <br />Fort Morgan <br /> <br />1 <br />
