defined after the completion of Phase I. The objective of Phase II is to
recommend the size, location, type and schedule of acquisition of
additional raw water sources and/or storage facility(ies).

1.1,3 Phase III - Feasibility Study

I
I

Based on the results of the Phase II study, an alternative to supplement
the City's water supply system will be recommended. The City may desire to
secure construction financing through the Colorado Vater Conservation Board
Construction Fund to finance the recommended alternative. To apply for
this funding, the first step required is to complete a feasibility study in
accordance with CVCB guidelines. The purpose of Phase III therefore, is to
prepare a feasibility report in the format as required by the CVCB. The
scope of work and engineering contract for Phase III would be negotiated
upon completion of the Phase II study.

During Phase I of the study, CDM has evaluated the effect of severe drought
events on the City's ability to satisfy the water demands of its service
population. This analysis has been conducted for three design years: 1985,
2000, and 2015. Future water demands were estimated from three growth
scenarios: two percent, three and one-half percent, and five percent,
compounded annually.

The study has incorporated the findings of a literature and data review of
existing engineering and hydrologic reports and historic yield of the
City's various water sources. The total projected supply available to the
City has been compared to the estimated demands for each combination of
design year and growth scenario, thus allowing estimation of any supply
