Alternative 4-0
Maximum use of the District's existing facilities was considered under this
alternative. The Colorado River pump station would be used to make up the
shortfall in delivery from the raw water pipeline. The only construction
to occur would be armoring of Plateau Creek to protect the existing 24-inch
pipeline.

Alternative 4-1

The 24-inch pipeline would' be abandoned under this alternative. The

Colorado River pump station would be upgraded and expanded to deliver all

the raw water to the treatment plant.

Alternative 4-4

The existing 24-inch pipeline would be used in conjunction with a terminal

storage reservoir located adjacent t:o the treatment plant. The reservoir

would meet peak demands and supply water in the event of a pipeline break.

Alternative 4-5

Under t:his alternative, the existing 24-inch pipeline would be augmented by

a parallel pipeline. A larger pipeline would be constructed in phases as

the need arose and cross-connected with the existing pipeline.

Colorado River pump station and provided no safeguards during a pipeline
failure.
