would be $199,680.

The replacement of the wooden stave transmission line wQuld be a cost
of $33,300. The addition of a five hundred thousand gallon storage
tank, which we need, will cost $93,160. We will need an additional
seventy thousand gallon storage tank for a plant clean well for a cost
of $14,000. The total projected cost for phase one, if constructed in
1978, would be $530,000.

Now, a little bit on the water rights for the town of Hayden. The
town of Hayden has a good water right and we ,are currently, scouting for
additional water to purchase. 'We have an adjudication of two second
feet with an appropriation date of 1913. We also have a conditional
decree for two second feet with adjudication date of 1966, which is not
real good. As the town approaches the full use of the absolute decree,
efforts will be made to request adjudication of ,additional water so the
town will ultimately have an absolute decree for four cubic feet per
second. The town has currently initiated a program to ,acquire approxi-
mately eight second feet of high priority water rights that are avail-
able in the area.

A little bit on~ some of the efforts we are taking to solve our own
problems. We feel that the first priority with our problems is to do
everything we can ourselves. Over the past eight months, the town has
had several public meetings with the help of the Council of Governments
involving all facets of the cOlIDlIUIlity. We have involved in this
cOlIDlIUIlity planning the City Council, the School Board, the West Routt
Fire District Board, the local Hospital Board, the Library Board, the
Museum Board, the West Routt Housing for the Elderly, West Routt Recre-
ation, which is currently being formed, and representatives of the
energy industry.

From the efforts that we have made in this direction, we have estab- '
lished the list of ten priorities for the community. Our 'priority list,
as it stands, item one in priority for the cOlIDlIUIlity of Hayden is the
city water system. We realize this is a bottleneck to any.future
growth or development. Number two is an elementary school. Number
three is in health and safety facilities, primarily a need for a
medical clinic, a doctor, dentist, whatever we can attract to the com-
munity.

Our next ,item; number four, is a drainage project. We have ,a surface
water problem in.a large part of the community, in the old part of the
community, which we have got to solve before we can do anything with
our streets and our curbs and gutters.

. .
Item number five is our sewer and water improvements - the replacement
of an undersized main, addition of fire' hydrants ,and replacement of .
faulty and undersized sewer lines. We would follow this with street,
curb and gutter improvements.

Number seven is public facilities building. We feel that we have a
number of entities of the town, including the city government and so
forth, that if we could house them in one building as a community
