.; " '. .-- Page 3 July 7, 1995 13. Under WATER OUALITY on page 11, no data is presented. The paragraph refers to "the elevated soluble manganese and iron levels" but provides no documentation. 14. The FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES beginning on page 12 does not include a set of comparable alternatives nor an analysis of alternatives. In fact, it's not clear what the eight items listed on pages 12, 13 and 14 are supposed to represent other than a list of suggested water system improvements with no indication of the relationships or comparisons intended. At the very least, a comparison of the costs of the RWIS with the costs of treatment plant expansion should have been provided. 15. On page 14, four justifications for project selection are given with practically no supporting data or analyses-specifically: . If the 800 gpd reduction in demand is not correct, per comment no. 8 above, then reason no.2 in the report is incorrect. . It's not clear what is meant in reason no. 3 referring to the Colorado River system. . Reason no. 4 refers to increasing costs of treatment, monitoring and constituent control but gives no figures. 16. The FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES concludes on page 15 with the statement that "The other alternatives evaluated ways to increase the quantity and quality of treated potable water for the SWTF." Which alternatives are referred to and where are they evaluated? 17. On page 15, it's very difficult to follow the description of System Operation without some kind of map or drawing to show the location and layout of facilities. The feasibility report should be a stand-alone document with adequate maps and drawings-not simply a cross reference to plans and specs. .. 18. In the Financial Program beginning on page 23, there is no discussion as to whether the Town is establishing an "enterprise" for the project or whether it will use an existing fund. Do the financial statements which were provided for 1992 and 1993 include information pertaining to'the fund to be used for the project? No information is provided to describe the current financial condition of the Town or current water system rates or assessments.
