<br />LPCDC, a Colorado mutual ditch company, provides irrigation water to a 500-acre seNice area in
<br />Lincoln Park, immediately south and adjacent to Canon City, in unincorporated Fremont County.
<br />There are 362 shareholders and 3,675 shares of stock. The irrigated acreage in the seNice area is
<br />primarily residential lawns and gardens, hobby farms and pastures. Typical lot and tract sizes are
<br />0.25 to 5+ acres. LPCDC has several senior water rights and diverts from the Arkansas River
<br />through the South Canon Ditch. The LPCDC ditch system has several branches totaling 62,220
<br />lineal feet (If) or about 11.8 miles in length. The ditch consists of 29,075 If of 36"and 8,540 If of 24"
<br />of concrete pipe, 16,085 If of 18" concrete/PVC pipe, and 8520 If of open ditch. The existing,
<br />original piping (hand-poured concrete) has deteriorated and there are numerous leaks in the system
<br />due to age and wear. The ditch suffers from significant water loss, and the deteriorated pipe poses
<br />a threat to property and individuals should the pipe fail. The proposed project involves replacing
<br />the most deteriorated piping in the system 30,225 If with HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) over a
<br />two-year period, in order to stop water loss and restore system reliability. The first year will consist
<br />of 15,365 If (10,385 If - 36"; 4,980 If - 18"), and will include the vulnerable section along the bluff
<br />overlooking the Arkansas River. The second year will consist of 14,860 If (11,290 If of 36" pipe
<br />replacement, and conversion of 3570 If of open ditch to 36" pipe.)
