Thewell was cemented from 0 feet to 223 feet and gravel packed from 225 feet to 673 feet. The static water level was 86 feet and the well was pump tested for 48 hours at 260 gallons per minute with a final pumping water level of 383 feet. A pump installation has not been made to- date and the well is not connected to the system. The well is capped but a permanent well seal has not been installed to-date. Aquifers. A report titled "Evaluation of Hater Resources in Kiowa and Bijou Creek Basins, Colorado" was prepared for the Colorado Water Con- servation Board in May 1966 by the Civil Engineering Department, Engineering Research Center, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. The report sllIIlJ.llarizes the Fox Hills sandstone formation as being "capable of supplying moderate quantities of water to wells within the study area. Tnis fo~tion contains an estimated 2,000,000 acre-feet of recoverable water within the area, and could be an important future water source." The recharge rate to the Fox Hills sandstone was estimated to be less than 5,000 acre-feet per year. The Fox Hills formation was reported to be relatively undeveloped in this area as a water producer. Some wells in this aquifer were reported to produce several hundred gallons per minute; however, many of these wells penetrated the saturated alluvium and it was assumed in the report that these wells drew most of their water from the alluvium. Most of the town's existing wells draw their water from the Arapahoe formation. The report states that "although these formations contain a significant amount of water in areas west of the study area, no large capacity wells in the study area are known to draw water from these -19-
