<br />Feasibility Study <br />Wadley Fanus HOA <br />January 06, 1996 <br />7 <br /> <br />Negative factors <br />Water storage would be lost. <br /> <br />The yield of Wadley Farms ditch shares could not be effectively used. <br />Landscaping W~Sh <br />Fire protection would be compromised. <br /> <br />E <br /> <br />--- <br /> <br />Property values would decline. <br /> <br />2 Abandon existing irrigation system, Connect to City of Thornton's water system <br /> <br />The City of Thornton has treated water service at a distance of approximately 1,5 <br />miles. Wadley Farms could petition for annexation to Thornton and connection to <br />their system. The present distribution system would be abandoned as it would not <br />meet specifications for treated water service. A new distribution system would be <br />constructed. <br /> <br />The costs to connect to Thornton's water system are estimated as shown below. <br />Water tap fee $720,000 <br />Frontage fee $200,000 <br />Distribution system installation $530,000 <br />Service line construction $150,000 <br />Total Cost $1,600,000 <br /> <br />Annual water costs for irrigation purposes would be approximately $35,000 to <br />$40,000. <br /> <br />Positive Factors <br />A reliable source of irrigation water could be assured. <br /> <br />A renewable source of drinking water would also be delivered. <br /> <br />No further maintenance would be required for the dams. Uncertain future <br />maintenance costs would be eliminated. <br />
