The condition of two separate legal raw water sources is expected to

continue indefinitely although they may physically receive water from

the same source. At some point in the future, the entire District could

be either served by the Denver Water Department or by water rights

developed by the District. The Association will contract with the

District, however, for the supply of treated water.

WATER REQUIREMENTS

I

Water demand parameters have been estimated for both the "existing" and
"future" development in the District with a breakdown between the Upper
System, which is not being considered in this feasibility study except
for water rights aspects, and the Lower System. It should be noted that
"future" development is the incremental projected growth and must be
added to "existing" to arrive at the total estimated demand parameters.
Also included is a further breakdown between those parameters related
to developments of or related to the Winter Park Recreational Association
for which the Denver Water Board has agreed to furnish raw water
(identified as the "Association") and those related to private develop-
ment for which Denver Water Department water is not presently available
(identified as "Others").

The "existing" demand parameters include an allowance for projected
growth in skier attendance at Winter Park. The estimates for all demand
parameters include an allowance for leakage (approximately 220 gallons
per day in the initial system and 760 gallons per day in the fully-
developed system), and backwash water (6 percent of demand for the
months of April, May and June and 2 percent of demand for the remainder
of the year); and the estimates for monthly and annual diversions
include an allowance for fire protection purposes including testing of
hydrants (2 percent of demand). The estimates for monthly and annual
diversions are based on the assumption that the average occupancy of
the resort lodging facilities is 75 percent during the ski season,
50 percent during the summer season, and 25 percent during the late
spring and early fall.
