In order to take advantage of the <br />existing and the potential future storage rights the City would need to improve <br />and enlarge the Reeder Dam. The 700 acre-ft. was used as the basis for <br />ultimate development of the Reeder Dam. <br /> <br />Water is currently conveyed to the Reeder Dam from the North Fork through the <br />Laurent and Bauer ditches. The City has a decreed diversion right of 53.4 cfs <br />on the Laurent Ditch. However, the City has an overriding restriction of 28.37 <br />cfs for any diversion on the North Fork. The Laurent Ditch is in excellent <br />condition and has capacity exceeding the 28 cfs limitation. The Bauer Ditch is <br />also in good condition and has a capacity of 16 cfs (decreed diversion water <br />right). The diversion from the North Fork, will continue to be utilized with <br />the expansion of the Reeder Reservoir. <br /> <br />4.2 EXPANSION ALTERNATIVES <br /> <br />An evaluation of the cost of increasing the capacity of Reeder Reservoir has <br />been made. For this study, two dam axes were evaluated and an estimate of the <br />probable construction cost for each was made. For each of the 2 axes, 3 <br />storage volumes were assumed, and the corresponding top of the dam elevations <br />were determined. The following assumptions were used for all the alternatives <br />analyzed: <br /> <br />4-2 <br />
