<br />Does anybody in, the .audience wish to questions Mr. Weller? (NO response.) <br />Thank you very much, Mr. Weller. <br /> <br />MR. WELLER: Thank you. <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: I think we have someone here representing. Eagle. Mr. <br />Andrews. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />. . <br />MR. ANDREWS: Mr. Chairman and members of the Board, my name is. <br />Richard Andrews. Town Manager of Eagle. Colorado. I would like to <br />make a brief statement stating that the Town Board has reviewed our <br />application to the Colorado Water Conservation Board and is 100 per- <br />cent behind that application. In both letter form and resolution <br />form, it indicated that we. are supporting the project application that <br />we have made at this time. <br /> <br />I would like to introduce Mr. Frank Barrett, who is with Wright- <br />McLaughlin Engineers, to basically review the project with you. <br />then both of us would be happy to respond to questions that you <br />have. <br /> <br />And <br />may <br /> <br />, .. <br />MR. BARRETT: Eagle's existing population is about 1,250 People. Their <br />existing diversion is about 9 miles upstream of Eagle on Brush Creek. <br />They have pro~lems with their existing transmission line. Which has <br />some serious leaks. They have an existing treatment plant.. which is <br />subject to high turbidity in the springtime; and the process is a <br />rather inappropriate process and does pot operate either economically <br />or. actually. Their existing distribution system is quite old and <br />has some leakage problems. Their storage is inadequate .for fire pro- <br />tection. They will be experiencing some very rapid growth potentially <br />with some. recreational development in the area. <br /> <br />Their total project, the first phase, is $538,000; and they have begun <br />this with a $IOO,OOO improvement program on their existing distribu- <br />tion system. They hope to continue with it with improvements in the <br />treatment and storage. <br /> <br />If any of you have questions, I would be glad to answer them. <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: Are there any que~tions? <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: The same question, sir. Are meters a part of your <br />project? <br /> <br />MR. ANDREWS: We are about :90 percent metered at the present time. <br />We are taking care of the other 2 percent. <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: Does anyone else have a question of Mr. Barrett or <br />Mr. Andrews? <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: Mr. Andrews, can you give us an idea of the growth pic- <br />ture in the town of Eagle? <br /> <br />MR. ANDREWS: I would be happy to. In 1970, our population was 790. <br /> <br />-4- <br />
