has been an active participant in the development of the studies, engineering, and
construction that have been performed to date as a part of the Southern Water
Supply Project and is a part of the NCWCD.
In September 1993, Black & Veatch completed the City of Fon Lupton, Colorado
Preliminary Engineering Repon Water Supply and Treatment Project which evaluated
long-term water treatment and supply alternatives. This study concluded that the
NCWCD Southern Water Supply Project, along with a surface WfP and storage, was
the best available long-term solution to the City's water quality and supply problems.
This report, along with Black & Veatch's September 1993 Environmental Assessment
for Fon Lupton, Colorado Water Supply and Treatment Project, was submitted to
FmHA, along with an application for federal financial assistance. FmHA agreed with
the findings of the report and environmental assessment and has proposed a
$7.5 million grant and $11.5 million loan to the City for the project. The grant!Ioan
agreement is expected to be finalized next month, Much of the background
information developed in that study effort has been used and updated in this
feasibility study.
In 1995, the City will be undertaking a comprehensive update of its eight-year old
master plan. The City will be updating its Land Use Plan, Wastewater Master Plan,
Water Master Plan, and Stormwater Master Plan. New land use and population
projections will be developed as a part of these new plans,

C. Study Period
This feasibility study is primarily concerned with the two-year interim period
between now and the end of 1996; however, any capital improvements that may
result from this study effort should be used for a period longer than two years, so a
greater than two-year view has been used in evaluating possible alternatives. The
growth assumptions and policies used in this feasibility study are in accordance with
current City direction.
