<br />COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br />823 State Centennial Building <br />l313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> <br />September 9, 1980 <br /> <br />GALLAGHER PROJECT <br /> <br />(individual domestic well and storage tank) <br /> <br />The Gallagher's applied for a state water project in February, 1980. <br /> <br />Before the application was submitted to the staff, Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher <br /> <br />had two wells drilled on their property in their attempt to find enough water <br /> <br />to satisfy their domestic needs. However, these wells did not produce enough <br /> <br />water for the household needs of the family. <br /> <br />In their attempt to solve their problem, the Gallagher's applied to the <br /> <br />state for financial help. At the same time, they have employed the services of <br /> <br />R.H. Frantz, a consulting geologist. Pressed by their immediate need for water, <br /> <br />the family went ahead and using the advice of their consultant, drilled a new <br /> <br />well and also installed a storage tank. The storage tank, with a capacity of <br /> <br />l600 gallons, appears to have adequate capacity for the family and when combined <br /> <br />with the output of the well provides the supply of water necessary for the family <br /> <br />needs. <br /> <br />The total cost of drilling a new well and erecting a storage tank of l600 <br /> <br />gallon capacity was $l3,500, and the Gallagher's built the project with moneys <br /> <br />borrowed on a short term loan. Now they are asking that the Board approve the <br /> <br />project already built and that request be made to the legislature for funding. <br /> <br />When the project was constructed, the staff reviewed no drawings or speci- <br /> <br />fications and have not visited the site. <br /> <br />The staff offers no recommendations for the project, but requests the Board's <br /> <br />guidance about it. <br /> <br />FED:pm <br />
