<br />. <br />. <br /> <br />1-2 <br /> <br />. <br />, <br /> <br />A major part of this report relates to costs and financing. Good <br />plans are worthless without implemetation. To avoid this report <br />becoming a dust collector, a financial strategy is required. The <br />town's financial status is analyzed in Chapter II. Expenses and <br />obligations of the water system are also analyzed. <br /> <br />This report is written to be reviewed by funding agencies such as <br />the Farmer's Home Administration, Energy Development Agency and <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board. We have presented information <br />that these agencies need if and when they review an application <br />from Hotchkiss to assist in the funding of a water system improve- <br />ment program. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />LOCATION <br /> <br />Hotchkiss is a town incorporated under the laws of the State of <br />Colorado, located in Delta County,(Sections 30 & 31, Township 14 <br />South, Range 92 West,and Sections 25 & 36 of Township 14 South, <br />Range 93 West of the 6th Principal Meridian). It is located on <br />State Highway 92,20 miles east of Delta, the county seat, and <br />12 miles north of Crawford. Paonia is located 8 miles northeast <br />of Hotchkiss on State Highway 133. <br /> <br />Most of the town lies on low lands about! mile north of the North <br />Fork Gunnison River, just upstream from the confluence of Leroux <br />Creek and the North Fork. <br /> <br />: <br /> <br />Immediately to the east, north and west, Hotchkiss is surrounded <br /> <br /> <br />by mesas (Rogers, Barrow, Hanson, and Powell) which support many <br /> <br /> <br />farms of varying sizes. These farms produce a wide variety of <br /> <br /> <br />agricultural products from fruits to hay. Cattle and sheep are also <br /> <br />important to the local economy. <br /> <br />. <br />
