For this study, data was collected on <br />four days in August at various stations along the river, one of them being <br />the U. S. Highway 40 bridge over the river south of Granby in the immediate <br />vicinity of the Town's intake facilities. Results of the sampling and testing <br />program for that particular station are shown in Table 1. <br />Samples of the Fraser River water collected by the Granby Operator, <br />from April, 1977 to December, 1977, and analyzed for turbidity and color, <br />reflect the influence of the melt water on the river water quality. This <br />data is shown in Table 2. <br />Grab samples of water from the Fraser River near the Town's intake and <br />of the finished water from a tap in Town were collected by Western Technical <br />Services on February 13, 197B. These were analyzed by General Filter Company <br />of Ames, Iowa and the results are shown in Exhibit III. <br />During the summer and fall of 1977, the Colorado Department of Health <br />conducted a water quality study of the Upper Fraser River. One of their <br />sampling points, like the wasteload allocation study in 1973, was the U. So' <br />Highway 40 bridge over the river immediately south of Granby. The results of <br />this analysis are shown in Table 3. <br /> <br />IV-l <br />
