DWCD <br />has been working with the Town, and the Town's Secondary Water Supply Committee, to provide a more cost <br />effective raw water supply for outside irrigation. Currently the cost of treated outside irrigation water for Town <br />residents is $2.40 to $3.00 per thousand gallons. Through a Franchise Agreement, DWCD will make available up <br />300 acre-feet of its municipal and industrial (M & 1) water to meet the needs of the Town, and will construct and <br />operate a secondary water delivery system. The system will include a new pumping plant to deliver up to 2 cfs, a 5 <br />to 10 acre-foot terminal storage reservoir, 32,000 feet of delivery pipeline (10"-8660 feet, 8"-7480 feet, 6"- 16,480 <br />feet) and 307 individual taps with water meters (0/. to I-inch capacity) for supplying up to 10 gallons per minute per <br />household. With the new systems outside irrigation can be provided at about $1.26 per I 000 gallons, including <br />annual operation and maintenance. The project will be paid for by tap fees, and a total of 307 taps are required to <br />generate enough revenue to fully repay the project cost. <br /> <br />IS Surface Creek Ditch and Reservoir Companv - Hotel Dam Rehabilitation <br />Authorization: Small Project Loan Account County: Delta <br />Water Source: Ward Creek Project Yield: 436 acre-feet <br />Terms of Loan: $265,00 @2.80% for 30-years Project Type: Dam Rehabilitation <br /> <br />This $365,500 project involves the rehabilitation of Hotel (Twin) Reservoir, located on the Grand Mesa.
