<br />WHIC owns and operates an existing piped irrigation system located in the Willow Heights
<br />Subdivision and Duke Hill community in the Town of Hotchkiss. The system was constructed in
<br />1976, and water is obtained through the Duke Ditch, which diverts water from Leroux Creek. Water
<br />is supplied to about 95 residential lots and a Town park. The total irrigated area is about 60 acres,
<br />and primarily use is to irrigate lawns and gardens. The system consists of a headgate,
<br />approximately 6000 lineal feet of main distribution piping (10", 8" and 6"), and approximately 3000
<br />feet of lateral piping. Water flows by gravity and lots are served by 0/.," individual taps. The system
<br />was installed in the trench above the sanitary sewer and on the same grade. In places it Is very
<br />deep, up to 15-17 feet. The original piping was a lightweight plastic pipe, and improper backfilling
<br />resulted in crushed pipes in some areas, and significant plugging problems. As a result of the
<br />blockages, and reduced flow due to mineral deposits; the overall flow capacity is less than 1/3 of
<br />the original. The system is completeiy obstructed in ,two places, and typically only 12 to 14 users
<br />can be served at a time. The project includes installing all new distribution lines and lateral tap
<br />lines, along with cleanouts and isolation valves: The.new pipes will be installed over the top of the
<br />existing system but at a standard depth of 22 - 30". The piping will be heavier PVC, located above
<br />the existing pipe, but offset several feet to eliminate sewer manhole conflicts.
