<br />/ <br /> <br />I <br />/ <br />/ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />KELTON HEIGHTS WATER DISTRICT PROJECT, Continued <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />PROBLEM <br /> <br />The operation, maintenance and replacement costs for the Kelton <br /> <br />Heights Water District System are exceptionally high for a district <br /> <br />of this size. This is related directly to the fact that most of the <br /> <br />system consists of two inch and four inch mains which have many leaks <br /> <br />and are generally deteriorating from old age. Tests conducted by the <br /> <br />Bancroft F.ire District show that only the portion of the district which <br /> <br />has installed larger mains has adequate fire flow capability. All <br /> <br />existing two inch and four inch mains need to De replaced with larger <br /> <br />sized mains to provide even minimum fire protection and adequate <br /> <br />domestic supply to the residents of the district. <br /> <br />CURRENT STATUS <br /> <br />In July of 1978, the Kelton Heights Vater District submitted a <br /> <br />request to the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) for financial <br /> <br />assistance in solving the district's water distribution problems. <br /> <br />Subsequently, the district and the CWCB a6reed to co-fund an engi- <br /> <br />neering study and report for the proposed project. The consulting <br /> <br />engineering firm, Camp Dresser & McKee of Denver, Colorado, was <br /> <br />selected to undertake this water system feasibility study. <br /> <br />The study has been completed with the recommendations that all <br /> <br />existing two inch and four inch mains be replaced with larger mains <br /> <br />and that additional loop lines and fire hydrants be added to the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
