<br />the construction of a new potable water storage tank to supplement the <br />ones already in existence. <br />For the most part, water uses from the city system are not metered. <br />It is estimated that such water uses would decline from twenty to twenty- <br />five percent if meters were installed. Previous attempts by the city <br />administration to install meters have met with considerable citizen <br />resistance. However, a new storage tank is needed whether or not meters <br />are installed. <br />CURRENT STATUS <br />In September, 1974, the city of Brighton submitted an application <br />to the Colorado Water Conservation Board for assistance in constructing <br />an additional water storage tank. Subsequent to the filing os such <br />application and with funds provided jointly by the city and the board, <br />the engineering firm of Henningson, Durham & Richardson, Inc. was <br />retained to conduct a feasibility study for the proposed additional <br />water storage tank. That feasibility report has now been completed and <br />constitutes the basis for the project summary contained herein. <br />Following completion of the report, the staff of the board con- <br />sulted with city officials concerni1~ the desires of the city in the <br />matter. The conditions for the use of the Colorado Water Conservation <br />Board construction fund as set forth in the guidelines approved and <br />published by the board under date of January 15, 1975 contain, among <br />other conditions, the following: "All reasonable water conservation <br />measures must be incorporated in the project plan. This includes the <br />measuring or metering of waters to users when economically feasible." <br />In the case of the Brighton project, the installation of meters is most <br />certainly economically feasible and will result in a considerable <br /> <br />-2- <br />
