STUDY METHODOLGY
The Town of Nunn Water Supply Study as viewed and interpreted by
Hydro-Triad, Ltd. should consist of the following items:
A. Data Collection and Coordination
An important aspect of the study is the accumulation of sufficient
data base from which decisions can be made. The basic data collected will
consist of agency reports, water rights, climatic data, system details and
problems, population or demographic data, service area projections, aquifer
and well data, current water use information, and financial data. The coordination
effort will include meetings with the Colorado Water Conservation Board and
town officials for data gathering and presentations.
B. Water Resource Evaluation
One of the most important aspects of the study is the evaluation
.of water source. Hydro-Triad, Ltd. will investigate the existing raw water
supply system and make an evaluation of the sources as to their continued use.
An analysis of the existing shallow wells will be made in an attempt to
ascertain the source of the nitrates and othe'r water qual ity factors. The deep
well will be evaluated to determine whether the well configuration or the
limitations of the aquifer is the reason for the lower yield. Other wells in the
immediate vicinity will be evaluated as to yield and water quality to
establish the general parameters of the aquifer. Alternative systems, such as
relocation of wells and possible treatment fClr nitrates will be investigated.
Cost considerations and operational problems will also be investigated. The
water sources will be evaluated based upon current and projected demands.
