PLAN OF STUDY
LOVELAND VATeR SUPPLY STUDY
PHASE II - EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES

December 11, 1986

1.0 INtRODUCTION

The City of Loveland engaged Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. (CDM) to perform an
engineering study which compared the water supplies available from the
City's four (4) major water sources to forecasted water demand for three
(3) growth rates. This effort was tile "Phase I" portion of the planned
three-phase Vater Supply Study.

The four water sources evaluated in phase I were:

1. Big Thompson River direct-flow water rights owned by the City of
Loveland.

2. City ownership in a number of private irrigation ditch and
reservoir companies.

3. City ownership of Colorado-Big Thompson Project (CBT) units.

4. City ownership of Vindy Gap Project (VGP) units.

The total quantity of water available from these sources was compared to
projected demand to determine the magnitude of the water supply surplus or
deficit for recurrence intervals of 25, 50, 100, and 200 years. COM
recommended that the City develop sufficient water supplies to eliminate
projected deficits at the 100-year recurrence interval. The City
determined that the projected demands and deficits for the year 2015 under
the moderate growth rate (i.e., 3.5 percent per year) should be used as the
basis for evaluating alternative water supply options.
