<br />COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br />823 State Centennial Building <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> <br />December 1980 <br /> <br />!:r!:1.Q.!~JL_.!'.EQ~~f! <br /> <br />H!!EQ.QQf!lQ!! <br /> <br />At the meeting of May 7, 1980, t~e Colorado Water Conservation <br /> <br />Board of Directors approved the subject project for up to $460,000 <br /> <br />from the construction fund. <br /> <br />However, this project, as well as five <br /> <br />other "last minute" projects, was not accepted for inclusion in the <br /> <br />1980-81 program by the state legislature. <br /> <br />Early this summer, the town of Walden was informed by the State <br /> <br />Department of Local Affairs that a grant of $450,000 had been approved <br /> <br />for the improvement of Walden's water system. <br /> <br />As the town was experienc- <br /> <br />ing water shortages on peak day usage and there was serious concern as to <br /> <br />how long the existing treatment plant would continue to perform its <br /> <br />function, the town board decided to go ahead with the water construction <br /> <br />project. On July 15, 1980, the town awarded the contract to the KR <br /> <br />Sewerdfeger Co. for the construction of a one million gallon per day <br /> <br />treatment plant, 7800 L.F. and 1100 L.F. of 6 inch and 8 inch ductile <br /> <br />iron pipe, respectively, approximately 400 water meters and a 300,000 <br /> <br />gallon storage tank. Awarding of this contract made it necessary for <br /> <br />the town to obtain short term interim financing as the contract amount <br /> <br />was for $879,797.50 and the town only had the assurance of a $450,000 <br /> <br />grant from Local Affairs at the time. <br /> <br />The water project is approximately 50% completed as of this date <br /> <br />with completion scheduled for early spring in 1981. <br /> <br />The town of Walden <br /> <br />has officially requested that $450,000 be advanced for its water project <br />
