This is <br />dependent on the anount of water the Irrigation Carpany runs <br />through the reservoir. The water quality of the canal is <br />significantly better than the reservoir and would not require any <br />softening, as evidenced by the test results of the inlet ditch. <br />The =rent water quality of the reservoir is due prinarily to <br />the inflow from the ground water. The water quality should be <br />significantly inl>roved when the I=igation Carpany runs ditch <br />water in the reservoir. <br /> <br />c. <br /> <br />Description of Facilities <br /> <br />The facilities to be constructed with Cw::B and FHA funds include <br />a 1 M3 steel tank located near North Poudre Reservoir No.3, a 16 <br />inch transmission line from the tank to town, the in town <br />inl>rovements proposed in the final report, a raw water intake and <br />punp station near the reservoir and a treated water punp station <br />to punp fran the treat:rrent plant to the tank. The treat:rrent <br />plant and appurtenances will be constructed and financed by a <br />private entity and leased to the Town for a period of eight years <br />at the end of which term the facility will becare the property of <br />the town. The proposed facilities are shown on Exhibit B <br />included with this arrendrrent. A preliminary site plan is shown <br />on Exhibit C. <br /> <br />The treatrrent plant will include the unit processes of flash <br />mixing, flocculation, sedirrentation, dual-rredia gravity filtra- <br />tion and chlorination. A s1.lITlIT\3IY of the proposed design criteria <br />is shown in Table 5. <br /> <br />One significant advantage for using the lease arrangement is the <br />fact that the plant will be guaranteed to produce a water rreeting <br />the prinary Drinking ,vater Standards of the Colorado Department <br />of Health. Another advantage is the fact that the plant will be <br />warranted against defects in construction for a period of 5 to 8 <br />years instead of the notTIBl one year. <br /> <br />8 <br />
