PSWD is located 11 miles east of Estes Park on US 36, and provides water to 268 taps with a
projected total of 350 taps at build-out. They draw surface water from the Little Thompson River
and treat it with an existing micro-filtration unit. PSWD has no raw water storage, and has been
severely impacted by water shortage in the past several years, spending about S180.000 to haul
water purchased from the City of Longmont. They are in need of a reliable and continuous supply
of raw water. Also, in 2002 the Sig Elk fire consumed thousands of acres above upstream of
PSWD on the Little Thompson River. resulting in a considerable amount of ash and other fire
related debris. This has caused severe plugging of the infiltration gallery and contamination of the
micro-filtration units. Subsequently, a number of planning studies have identified a several water
needs. In summary, the proposed project will provide the following raw water components:
construction of the 51 acre foot Crow Lane Reservoir #1 (35 foot high dam with outlet works and
emergency spillway meeting State dam design requirements), a new pump station, about 5500 If of
6" pve draw and fill transmission piping, modifications to the infiltration gallery intake, as well as
the purchase of as many as 90 eST water shares to provide a reliable water source for the
resel\foir. In addition, with the assIstance of a DWRF loan, PSWD will add an additional micro-
filtration treatment unit and replace about 4000 If of distribution piping, not part of the ewes loan.
