Currently there are 3200 acres under <br />irrigation and the town of Penrose receives 500 acre-feet of <br />water annually from the company. <br /> <br />The proposed project would essentially complete the <br />upgrading and rehabilitation of the company's entire system. The <br />Board has previously completed a phase of the system for the <br />company. ~,\3D) 00 0 <br /> <br />Problem <br /> <br />The current water system still has several areas where <br />excessive seepage occurs and the company has experienced <br />difficulty in providing adequate delivery to its water users <br />during peak demand periods. 0 ~vJ <br />~--l~ <br />Feasibility Study <br /> <br />The U.S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS) has prepared a Soil <br />and Water Conservation Plan for Beaver Park Water, Inc., which is <br />in the Fremont Soil Conservation District. The SCS has expressed <br />an interest in this project as Beaver Park is one of the most <br />progressive companies in Fremont County for installing water <br />conservation measures. <br /> <br />Proposed Project <br /> <br />This project would install concrete lining in approximately <br />2 miles of the company's lower canal and install a total of 5,000 <br />feet of PVC pipe laterals. These improvements would complete the <br />canal lining from the company's storage reservoir to the lower- <br />most users on the system, provide a transfer line between the two <br />canals in the lower part of the system, and replace those <br />pipeline laterals in need of repair. The project would allow <br />some previously irrigated lands to be put back under irrigation. <br />The estimated cost of the project is $250,000. <br /> <br />721 <br />bv/prk <br />
