A draft was completed on March 20, 1996 and a final plan is <br />expected by June 1, 1996. <br /> <br />Wells <br /> <br />The City currently operates fourteen wells located throughout the City to supply all <br />residential and commercial demands. The City operates two additional wells, one at the <br />municipal golf course and the other at the cemetery, that are used strictly for irrigation. <br />Production records for the fourteen wells from 1989 through 1993 are shown in Table <br />2.2. Well names correspond to the street name or the part of the city where the well is <br />located. Figure 2.1 is a schematic which shows well locations and the City's water <br />service area. <br /> <br />All of the wells pump water from the alluvial aquifer which is part of the flow of the <br />South Platte River and varies in depth from approximately 120 feet to 180 feet. Some <br />wells have recently been equipped with backup generators for use during power <br />failures. The generators can be controlled with a telemetry system. Liquid chlorination <br />systems at the well head are the only required form of treatment. <br /> <br />TABLE 2.2 YEARLY WELL PRODUCTION RECORDS <br />CITY OF FORT MORGAN <br />(All values in acre-feet) <br /> <br />Year Ninth Lane Linda Vicki Euclid Main Sherman Park Railroad Lake Acoma Murchy Beef Plant Land mark Total <br />1989 228 12 2 184 194 143 116 114 79 NIP 805 343 849 23 2,982 <br />1990 141 306 120 53 23 10 I 23 8 NIP 828 319 559 18 2,409 <br />1991 189 90 48 306 20 16 5 98 I NIP 824 751 997 24 3,369 <br />1992 I 480 0 124 5 19 \3 58 5 148 756 652 842 32 3,135 <br />1993 0 154 0 386 0 186 0 348 172 34 811 \31 956 151 3,329 <br />Ave. 112 208 34 211 48 75 27 128 53 91 805 417 841 50 3045 <br /> <br />NIP - Not in Production <br /> <br />Storage <br /> <br />Currently, the underground aquifer is considered to be the major source of water <br />storage. Since some wells are equipped with backup generators, the required fire flow <br />reserve and emergency reserve are considered to be available from the aquifer. <br /> <br />MONTGOMERY WATSON <br /> <br />Page 2-3 <br />
