The total project cost is estimated <br />at $25,000. The Marshall Flume has rusted out, and the leaks make it difficult to serve users at <br />the end of the ditch. The Goodhue Ditch has a capacity of 75 cfs and has diverted an average of <br />1,937 acre-feet per year over the past ten years. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Appleton ML 350 Ditch Company, Inc.: The company would like to borrow up to $40,000 to <br />rehabilitate 10,000 feet of their ditch in Mesa County northwest of Grand Junction. The project <br />is part of the federal salinity control program. The CFSA is funding 70% of the total cost <br />estimated at $117,000. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has prepared plans <br />and cost estimates. The company plans to rehabilitate the ditch in the fall of 1995 after the <br />irrigation season. The ditch has a capacity of 4.27 cfs and diverts approximately 1,700 acre-feet <br />per year. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Morgan County Quality Water District: The district has requested a $4,260,000 loan to <br />participate in the Northern Water Conservan(;y District's Southern Water Supply Pipeline Project <br />to bring raw water to the rural areas of Morgan and Washington Counties.

The total cost of the project is <br />estimated at $472,000. The wells are needed now to meet SUlllffier water demands in 1995 and <br />1996 prior to the time that the Southern Water Supply Project will be completed.

The project has been estimated to cost a total of <br />$1,000,000. The existing 50-year old pipeline leaks and is undersized. It consists of a <br />combination of 6-inch and 8-inch diameter cast iron lead joint pipe. The project would replace <br />it with new 12-inch pipe. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Castle Pines North Metropolitan District: The district, which serves 479 homes in an area north <br />of Castle Rock in Douglas County, has requested a $301,500 loan to rehabilitate three deep wells <br />in the Arapalloe Aquifer.

Part of the loan <br />money will be used to payoff a short term $100,500 emergency Construction Fund loan used to <br />rehabilitate Well A-3 which went dry in 1994. Although the existing wells are 2,300 feet deep, <br />the pumps were initially installed between 1,000 and 1,200 feet. The water levels have been <br />declining, and recent measurements in Well A-2 have indicated as little as 20 feet of water above <br />the pump. The rehabilitated wells will have deeper pumps, each with a capacity of 500 gallons <br />per minute. The total system will deliver about 400 acre-feet per year. <br /> <br />3 <br />
