on all existing wells along with appropriate automatic control equipment to
integrate the well production into the water treatment plant demand.

4.4.4 Water Treatment Facilities. Water treatment facilities will be designed
in accordance with Colorado Department of Health standards and construction plans
will be approved by the Colorado Department of Health prior to construction. The
plant will consist of reverse osmosis units with each unit producing approxi-
mately 70% of the total demineralized water required. The first R.O.unit will
be installed under the Stage I (1977-78) improvement project. Provisions and space
will be provided for installing additional R.O units when the population and
water useage requires the units to be placed in service. Pumps, chemical feeders,
degasifier, chemical storage, chemical handling equipment, control equipment,
membrane cleaning equipment, and all internal piping and appurtenances will be
incorporated in the design to make the plant operational.

Modifications to the existing plant equipment for use on the deep well water supply
will include a new forced draft aerator, chlorine feeder, sludge pump and piping
in the cistern, new filter media in the pressure filter, and internal/external
piping and appurtenances.

4.5 STRUCTURAL AND DRAINAGE PLANS

The structural plans needed for construction will be prepared during the design
phase of the improvement project. Once the storage tank site is selected and pur-
chased and the type of tank is selected, a soils exploration and structural de-
sign of the tank and footings will be required. Site plans will be prepared to
provide construction layout and site drainage for the selected tank site.

Plans will be prepared for the well houses, well equipment, and water treatment
facilities during the design phase of the improvement project. Soils exploration,
structural plans and site drainage plans will be required for the well houses
and water treatment plant.

Detail plans will be prepared showing pipe location and alignment, trench bedding
requirements, and blocking details for valves, fittings and fire hydrants. All
fire hydrants must be free draining to prevent freezing and details of the
hydrant drains will be included in the plans.

4.5 RIGHTS-OF-WAY OR LAND ACQUISITION

Water distribution mains as shown on Plate II will be installed within the existing
public rights-of-way to the maximum extent possible. Where new easements are
required for water main installation, the easement location is noted on Plate II
by shading. Where easements are required they should be permanent easements at
least 15 feet wide to allow access by maintenance equipment for inspection and
repairs. Additional width temporary easements may be necessary for construction.
It is recommended that an additional 10-feet of temporary construction easement
be obtained at the same time the permanent easement is acquired.

Permits will be required for crossing or installations onrailroad-rights~of-way
and U.S. Highwpy 50.

Permanent site must be acquired for the storage tank. If adequate area is available
at the existing tank site, the treatment facilities will be constructed adjacent
to the existng well and treatment building. If the area available is not adequate
then an additional site must be acquired for the new treatment facilities.
