, . . PROJECT SUMMARY Improvements in the Town's Water System Town of Granby July 16, 1992 A brief engineering report, attached to this Project Summary, clearly describes each of the improvements to be made to the Town/s water system. The need for each improvement is also explained and cost estimates are provided for each component to be constructed. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Improvements to the water treatment process include three new backwash ponds, an intake structure on the Fraser River to replace the existing structure,-and a new 12-inch bypass line running from the intake structure directly to the water treatment plant. A new well field will consist of two wells, a well house, and chlorinatio/'lfacilities. A 12-inch water line approximately 1750 feet in length will be constructed from the water treatment plant to the south side of the Fraser River. PROJECT NEED The improvements to the water treatment process are needed because of taste and odor problems. The new intake structure is needed in order to avoid, during periods every year, temporary modifications to a downstream diversion dam (required to maintain the proper water surface level at the intake structure). The new well field is needed to provide a backup source of water supply in the event of temporary water quality problems on the Fraser River, the primary water source. The new water line to the south side of the Fraser River is needed to serve a subdivision which is presently obtaining permits for construction. TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY The technical aspects of each project component are discussed in the engineering report. PROJECT COSTS AND FINANCIAL PLAN The following costs are summarized from the engineering report. Intake Structure and Bypass Backwash Ponds Well Field Water Line Extension .$41,100 $148,500 $180,400 S102,400 Estimated Construction Cost S472,400 The Town will finance the project through a loan of S400,000 from the Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority. The balance of the funds needed will be provided from cash on hand.
