<br />old facilities are required. One of the reconunendations for Phase II was the <br /> <br />replacement of the treated water transmission line from the water treatment <br /> <br />plant to the 0.4 MG Clear Water Reservoir. <br /> <br />After careful consideration of all of the reconunendations and financial <br /> <br />status of the Town of Hotchkiss, the Board of Trustees elected to prioritize <br /> <br />the reconunendations in Phase II and construct portions of the treated water <br /> <br />transmission line from the treatment plant to the 0.4 MG clear water reservoir. <br /> <br />In 1976 the "energy crunch" was upon uS but not near as critical in 1976 as it <br /> <br />is now in ]981. The Water Supply Master Plan Report did not address energy <br /> <br />generating potential of the Hotchkiss water system. This supplement to the <br /> <br />Water Supply Master Plan Report finds no fault with the 1976 Water Supply <br /> <br />Master Plan Report in not addressing the energy generating potential of <br /> <br />the Hotchkiss water system as little, if any, technology or equipment existed <br /> <br />in 1976 to capture the energy generating potential of the Hotchkiss raw water <br /> <br />flow line. <br /> <br />In the last five years great strides have been made in technology and <br /> <br />equipment to provide for small turbines and generators to work off a minimal <br /> <br />of 200 feet of head differential in a water flow line carrying only 450 GPM. <br /> <br />In addition to addres~ing the needs of the deteriorating treated water flow <br /> <br />line this supplement will address potential generating of approximately <br /> <br />28 Kw by use of the energy contained in the raw water flow line. <br /> <br />-/1/- Water Supply Master Plan Report as prepared in 1976 <br /> <br />ii <br />
