Need for the Project

ARWP is undertaking this project to allow the residents of
Aristocrat Ranchette Subdivision, over one half of which have
refillable cisterns as their only source of water, to have a
stable, potable source of drinking water.

ARWP is requesting a loan from COlorado Water Conservation Board
only for the purchase of raw water shares from the Colorado-Big
Thompson Project and the Windy Gap Project necessary to purchase
treated water from Central Weld County Water District. The
actual construction project will be funded, by the u.s. Rural
Economic Community Development ("RECD") ,formerly Farmer's Horne
Administration. Application has been made for funding of the
construction project through RECD, and initial approval of that
funding has been received.

This project is needed because the only source of water for
Aristocrat Ranchette Subdivision is three wells drilled into the
Laramie/Fox Hills Aquifer, which Aquifer is depleting rapidly.
It is anticipated that the water in the Aquifer will decrease its
flow to the point that pumping will be impossible within the next
25 years.

Due to the increased growth of residents in Colorado, available
sources of water will not exist when the Aquifer depletes. A
project completed today is the only hope of providing a sustained
source of water for the subdivision.
