This site was chosen <br />because it is located on a hill, which allows the treated water to reach Fort Morgan with <br />enough pressure to feed the distribution system without the need for pumping. Also, <br />the distance from the City would prevent the facilities from hindering the future <br />growth of the City. <br /> <br />Wiggins Site <br /> <br />The Wiggins site is located approximately 20 miles west of Fort Morgan in section 23, <br />T3N, R61W. The Wiggins site has similar characteristics to the Bijou site in that its <br />location on a hill would provide sufficient pressure to Fort Morgan to avoid additional <br />pumping. Placement of facilities at this location would also provide the City of Wiggins <br />the opportunity of obtaining treated water by participating in the project. <br /> <br />North Fort Morgan Site <br /> <br />The North Fort Morgan Site is located 3 miles to the northwest of the City in Section 23, <br />T2N, R58W. This site was chosen because of its proximity to the City and the elevation <br />that is available for a storage tank. The elevation is ample to provide the City with 60 <br />psi, but requires a pipeline crossing the South Platte River and Interstate 76. <br /> <br />General Considerations I Design Criteria <br /> <br />The Southern Water Supply Pipeline from Fort Lupton to Fort Morgan would provide <br />9.5 cfs (6.14 MGD) as Fort Morgan's proportionate share of the project. NCWCD will <br />deliver the C-BT units to a measuring device as located by the City. It is recommended <br />that the City have its measuring device placed at the end of the raw water delivery line <br />just immediately upstream of its raw water reservoir. By having the delivery calculated <br />at this location all losses from the pipeline will be born by the District, The Morgan <br />pipeline would terminate at the City's proposed raw water reservoir. Siting of the raw <br />water reservoir, along with the water treatment plant and treated water storage and <br />connecting pipeline is the objective of this study. The following assumptions and <br />criteria were used in developing alternatives: <br /> <br />MONTGOMERY WATSON <br /> <br />Page 3,2 <br />
