COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD

Pipeline to Juniata Dam
City of Grand Junction
January, 1989

Introduction

In order to provide an adequate supply of treated water on
peak use days, the City of Grand Junction has embarked on a
program to: (1) increase the carrying capacity of existing
diversion facilities, (2) enlarge an existing raw water storage
reservoir, and (3) construct an interconnecting raw water
pipeline between the above mentioned enlarged reservoir and the
city's existing raw water transmission facilities. The city
has asked for financial assistance on item (1) above. This
proposed project would be located on Purdy Mesa, 17 miles
southeast of Grand Junction.

Problem

The city currently has diversion rights for 28.37 cfs from
the North Fork of Kannah Creek to its storage reservoir.
However, the existing diversion facility only has a capacity of
5-6 cfs. In order to improve the yield of its system, the city
must increase the capacity of its diversion facility. HDR
Infrastructure, Inc., prepared a feasibility report on how best
to accomplish this task. That report is the basis for the
recommendation on this project.

Proposed Proiect

The consultant's recommendation is to replace the existing
facilities with a 6000 foot - 30 inch diameter ductile iron
pipe and appurtenances. This new pipeline would convey the
city's water from the North Fork of Kannah Creek to Juniata
Reservoir. The total estimated cost of the project is $500,000.

Proposed FinancinQ

City of Grand Junction (Local
Affairs grant and city reserves)
CWCB loan at 5 percent, 25 years
Total

$250,000

250,000
$500,000

Under the proposed financing arrangement, the city would
pay the CWCB $17,737.50 per year for 25 years, for a total
repayment of $443,437.50.
