I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I early 1920's with some more recent installation of PVC and galvanized pipe. The "mains" vary in size from 6" maximum to 2". Inspection of the cast iron pipe during the more recent construction has shown that the pipe is generally in excellent condition after many years of service. Only minor leakage problems have been identified. The current distribution system, which has been mapped by the Town, also consists of water meters for all the users. The existing deep well was constructed in 1973-1974 for the purpose of obtaining a sufficient supply of the low nitrate water to solve the water quality problem that exists. However, the well has not been able to supply enough water (12-13 gpm currently) to meet the town's needs. It appears that the yield of the well is in the common range for deep wells constructed into the Laramie/Fox Hills formation in the general Nunn area (i.e., Spring Creek and Lone Tree Creek drainages). The study consisted of an investigation of the water quality problem of the existing wells and the determination of various alternatives for providing a solution to the nitrate problem. An analysis of the existin'j distribution system including storage requirements has been made. Recommen- dations were made for improvements to the distribution system and for additional storage. Also, the recommended alternative for correcting the nitrate problem has been presented. A preliminary design of the recommended improvements as well as a detailed cost estimate for those improvements has been included in this study. This final feasibility report presents a narrative description of the results of the study. The various drawings setting forth some of the concepts and details are included in the appendix. 2
