<br />This growth comes from the Ridgway Dam. <br /> <br />AS far as water rights are concerned, the town has more than adequate <br />water rights. And more important than that, the water actually <br />physically exists. The present system starts at the top of Dallas <br />Creek and runs down 6~ miles of open ditch until it gets to a confined <br />pipeline and goes into an open air reservoir. There are three of I <br />them with approximately 18 million gallons capacity. The water goes <br />from there to a chlorination system which doesn't have adequate time <br />for chlorination. and goes, to the town system. <br /> <br />In doing this feasibility study and taking a look at it, I think one <br />of the things you will find is the tremendous ~~ount of loss that 'we <br />have. As there are no meters in the town, and the only thing that we <br />can go by is the water that goes to the town and the water that leaves <br />the town. It shows in there that the average consumption per day per <br />person is 1,271 gallons. <br /> <br />In putting in 'the sewer system several years ago. I did have a good <br />chance to take a look at the lines in the town. I would say that they <br />are in a state of bad disrepair, and I doubt very much whether any- <br />thing can be done. <br /> <br />So what happens in alternate 4(a). which has been unanimously supported <br />by the Board, 'it will have to s'tart at, the point of intake, come all <br />the way down through the new treatment plant, and, utilizing the exist- <br />ing reservoirs, come all the way down through the town's distribution <br />lines, brand new distribution lines, and meters within the town. <br /> <br />Now on the 'sewage system, the new system, the sewage sys,tem at the <br />present time is capable of handling 250 percent of the existing . - <br />capacity. True. there is a portion of the town which lies to the east <br />of the uncompahgre River, which at the present time is not serviced by <br />the sewer. They do have water service through it. We have made <br />several applications to see if we could somehow get them on the sewer <br />system. Also, with respect to the sewer system, ample land has already <br />been purchased by the Denver. Rio Grande. Western Railroad before <br />their departure that we can put in a treatment plant for the aeration <br />lagoons or put in another pond at the lagoon and convert the existing <br />pond into an aeration pond. <br /> <br />That, in essence, is the ~own of Ridgway's situation. <br /> <br />MR. DUNCAN: We will continue to work on that. If we are unable to <br />receive enough grants and small loans, we will still be unable to put <br />in the water system. The way it is now, the town is just about as <br />far as they can go moneywise. We realize the rates will have to <br />increase with the new water system. We will have to hold it as low as <br />we can. <br /> <br />-14- <br />
