<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2. The quality of the supply is generally poor. <br />. 3. Individual shallow wells are located dangerously <br />close to individual septic systems, which are often <br />very close to each other. <br />4. The t~wn has no more fire protection than a rural <br />ranch house but has a much greater concentration <br />of buildings. <br />CURRENT STATUS <br /> <br />In February of 1978, the Larkspur Homeowner's Association <br />submitted a request to the ColoradO Water Conservation Board for <br />assistance in solving the town's water supply problem. with par- <br />ticipation by the Homeowner's Association, the Department of Local <br />Affairs, and the Board, an engineering study and report was funded. <br />Sage-Burnett, consulting engineers of Greeley, were.retained to <br />evaluate the alternatives, determine the costs of each, and make <br />recommendations for the construction of a community water system. <br />The study has now been completed. The engineers recommend <br />construction of a basic system, with the option of adding to the <br />structure in a "building block" manner if and when the demands are <br />sufficient to justify the costs. To carry out the proposed project, <br />the Homeowner's Association intends to either create a special <br />district or incorporate their town. Final decision will be made <br />very soon. <br /> <br />PROPOSED PROJECT <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The consultants reoommend the development of a water supply <br />from a deep well; the construction of a 60,OOO-gallon storage tank <br />on the hill west of Larkspur; the installation of 20,000 feet of <br />water mains, and miscellaneous valves, hydrants, and controls. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
