Annual water demand is projected to <br />increase from a present annual demand of 94.61 million <br />gallons to a annual demand of 223.l2 million gallons in <br />the year 2000. <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br />CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> <br />CONCLUSIONS <br /> <br />2. The Town of Silt does not have adequate water rights. <br /> <br />3. The Town of Silt's primary existing water supply source, <br />infiltration galleries in an island in the Colorado River, <br />has deteriorated and is inadequate hydraulically. <br /> <br />4. The existing clearwell, chlorination and pumping station <br />have deteriorated, are structurally unsound and are not <br />hydraulically functional. <br /> <br />5. The Town does not meter services and this has lead to <br />excessive consumption of water. <br /> <br />6. Much of the existing distribution system is failing and <br />causing numerous leaks. This increases consumption and <br />necessitates expensive repairs. <br /> <br />7. The existmg distribution system is composed of pipe <br />sizes too small for adequate fire protection flows. <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />8. Two of the existing water storage tanks are structurally <br />unsound. All three existing storage tanks are at too low <br />an elevation to provide adequate pressure to meet health <br />and fire protection standards. <br />
