Construction of a treatment facility to remove <br />turbidity and chlorinate the water. <br /> <br />2. Modification of the springs and capture system on <br />Clear Creek, to provide water. <br /> <br />3. Providing earth coverage on about 2,000 feet of line <br />to avoid freezing. <br /> <br />The second Phase included: <br /> <br />1. Installation of a new 6-inch CIP distribution line to <br />assist in fire protection. <br /> <br />2. Installation of new meters throughout the town. <br /> <br />3.
