Projected Costs for Alternate of Pumping All Water to Treatment Plant.

Because of the high maintenance costS on the existing raw water line and

the possibility of substantial capital ou1ays in the future the alternate

of constructing a new pump station near the site of the existing pump station

and pumping all raw water to the treatment plant will be analyzed. It is a

possibility that the capital outlay and power costs of a pumping facility

may be less costly than continuing to use the existing transmission line.

For purposes of an economic comparison it has been assumed that:

1. A new pump station would be constructed in the vicinity of the
existing pump station.

2. The diversion structure at the Hydraulic Ditch would be modified
for winter time operation.

3. A pipe line would be constrvcted from the diversion structure to the

pump station to eliminate the problew of ice that would occurr in the Hydraulic

Ditch.

The following is a summary of the capital outlay for the above described
facilities at 1973 costs.
