<br />MR. STAPLETON: Certainly. <br /> <br />MR. GORMLEY: Does this mean that you feel the Larkspur situation is <br />sufficiently 'critical ~to-movEl them, ahead ,of.others.:on the ,priority'list <br />with this money that you are getting? <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: NO, we cannot move them ahead. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. GORMLEY: It would just simply replace that one, but it still <br />wouldn't have first priority? <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: That '.is correct. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Are there any people from the Larkspur community here, <br />and, if so, would you identify yourself by name? <br /> <br />MS.. TRUEBLOOD: Ann Trueblood, and I represent the Larkspur Homeowners' <br />Association in,- Larkspur. <br /> <br />Larkspur is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, approxi- <br />mately halfway between Denver and Colorado Springs. We have about 150 <br />people there. We all have very sha~low wells. By that, I mean most <br />of them are from 12 to 15 feet deep, and we have very ancient septic <br />systems. So the quality of the water is very,. very poor. During dry <br />times, there are quite a few of our. wells that don't even have water. <br />We would like to obtain some help in putting in a public water system. <br /> <br />The town of Larkspur is a low-income type community. <br />are elderly people on Social Security, and we are not <br />thing on our own. We do need some help. And that is <br /> <br />Most of the people <br />able to do some- <br />why we are here. <br /> <br />Tom Burnett can explain the details on that. He is our engineer. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Thank you, very much. <br /> <br />MR. BURNETT: If you have any questions about the project, we would be <br />glad to try to answer them. We have prepared a report for the project, <br />and we have analyzed what we think are all the alternative supplies <br />available to the community. We submitted that report to the staff of <br />the Water Conservation Board. They have 15 copies of that report. <br /> <br />The summary which was prepared for you summarizes that report very well. <br />If you have any additional questions, we would be glad to try to answer <br />them. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: DOes any member of the Board have any questions? Mr. <br />Jackson. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: will you install meters on the project? <br /> <br />MR. BURNETT: Yes, that is included as part of the funding. They use <br />water very conservatively there now, but meters would be part of it. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: What is the alternative supply of water when the well <br />goes dry in the summer? <br /> <br />-14- <br />
