( Castle Pines North Metro District November 21, 1995 Page 2 FEASIBILITY STUDY In October 1995, the District submitt.ed a draft Feasibility Report, Modifications to Pumping Units A-i, A-2, A-3 as prepared by Jehn W!lter Consultants, Inc, of Denver. The feasibility report provides a description of: (a) the District and the District's service area and facilities; (b) the proposed project and the alterllatives considered; and ( c) a fmancial plan for repayment of the CWCB loan. The District The CPNMD was established in 1984. The purpose of the District is to provide water, wastewater collection, public landscaping maintenance, storm drainage, and park and recreational facilities to the Castle Pines North Community located about seven miles north of Castle Rock in Douglas County. The District currently provides service to about 500 existing homes. At build-out, the District expects to serve 2,566 single-family units, The CPNMD obtains revenues from: (1) tap fees assessed to owners/developers to pay for the installation of facilities; (2) water, sewer, stonn drainage service charges billed to customers on a monthly basis; and (3) property taxes. Proposed Proiect The primary source of water supply to the District is .from three existing Arapahoe formation wells (A-I, A-2 and A-3) with a total (pre-project) combined pumping capacity of about 1,000 gallons per minute (gpm) which is not considered adequate for near-term demands. In addition, Well A-3 ceased functioning in August 1994 when the water level in the well dropped below the level of the pump. Water levels in the other two wells have also declined in the last few years. Jehn Water Consultants has recommended a program of improvements to replace and lower the pumps in all three wells to increase the total rate of production to 1,500 gpm. The improvements to Well A-3 were completed ti1is year at a cost of $166,638 with the assistance of an $100,500 emergency loan from the COJ:l.struction Fund, It is estimated that the reminder of the project, the improvements to Wells A-I and A-2, will cost a total of $394,485 for a total project cost of $561,123.
