<br />/ <br />/ <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />...::] <br /> <br />BROOK FOREST PROJECT, Continued <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />1978-1979 winter season, approximately 100 families were without water <br /> <br />for a good portion of the season. <br /> <br />Recently, the district filed an application in the Water Court of <br /> <br />Water D~vision No. 1 for approval of a water augmentation plan. Under <br /> <br />such a plan, if approved, the district will drill additional wells ' <br /> <br />which will pump water under a senior water right, thus increasing its <br /> <br />water supplies. Under this plan, the district will augment the stream <br /> <br />system in order to protect the "senior appropriators. <br /> <br />if <br /> <br />The present per capita consumption is 40 gpcd. This amount could <br /> <br />il <br />" <br />I <br />! <br /> <br />be increased to about 80 gpcd if the proposed augmentation plan is <br /> <br />approved. <br /> <br />PROBLEM <br /> <br />The problems with the existing system are: <br /> <br />1. The decreed capacity of the existing wells is limited to <br /> <br />28 gpm, thus presenting a problem of limiting the water supplies avail- <br /> <br />able to the district under increased water demand conditions. <br /> <br />2. The water distribution mains are almost exclusively 4 inch <br /> <br />diameter cast iron pipes installed at depths as shallow as 3.5 feet <br /> <br />in certain areas. The distribution lines, particularly shallow and <br /> <br />dead end lines, have experienced severe freezing problems resulting in <br /> <br />broken mains and interrupted water supply service during the winter <br /> <br />season. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
