necessury to run the water through pr"essure reducing valves occusion<ll1y in order to keep pressures dOl'" to a reasonuble 1 imit. A maximum pressure of ?OO ps lis deve loped in the system through the use of these valves. 1 tis a Iso necessary to pl'ovide the water to the members at a pressu"e which is high enough to either increase the pressure within each distribution system, or at the very least to equal it, While the distribution system pressures vary widely from llJ,"mber to mc,nber, the HCln!A facilities are generally capilule of supplying a delivery pressure of 50-GO psi, and in most cases the pressure exceeds 80 psi. Since the NCDWA facilities would extend only as far as the master meters, each me:nber would be able to determine the pressure within its Olm system. The NCDHA would require approximately 21 acres for present and anticipated future facilities. This land would have to be neur the water source, Flatiron Reservoir. It is estimated that this parcel would be large enough to handle the initial treatment plant and storage reservoir construction plus future expansions of each thr.ough 2020. The transmission lines would be placed along public roads for the most part. Lines would be located in Larimer and Weld Counties. Permits would probably be required to construct th," trunsmission lines within either county or state R.O. U. 'so Special permits \\"ould be required at major irrigation supply ditch and state highw<lY crossings. Special crossing permits would also be necessary at all railro<ld crossings and possibly at major county highways. After preliminary analysis, it is estimated that approximately 125,000 linear feet of easements across private right-of-way would be r~quired.
