population projection and extending it to the year 2010 results in a popu-

lation of 12,400. A population of 12,400 persons on 1600 acres results in an

I

average density of 7.75 persons/acre which is still relatively low density.

To avoid possible duplication or replacement of lines at a later date, the

I

distribution system gridwork should be sized to serve the maximum expected

I

development (12,400) within the design area.

Storage. As shown in Table 5, the Town is very deficient on required

I

storage capacity at the present time. In staging improvements it is only

practical to add storage capacity in large increments. It is recommended

I

the storage volume be added in two stages: (a) 250,000 gallons of elevated

I

storage should be constructed as soon as possible, (b) an additional 100,000

gallons of elevated storage should be added about year 1995. The preferred

I

tank locations are shown on Plate II and Figure III.

Water Supply Wells. Water supply wells can be added one at a time or

I

in multiple unit stages. Usually due to the equipment involved, mobilization,

I

time and other factors, substantial cost savings can be realized by staging
I

water supply additions in units of two br more. It is recommended the water

I

supply be increased in two stages: (a) approximately 720 gallons per minute

additional supply should be constructed during the first major improvement

I

program; (b) an additional 520 gallons per minute should be constructed about

I

year 1995. The preferred wel1 site locations are shown on Plate II and

Figure III.

Treatment. The only treatment currently required for the water system is

chlorination. In accordance with the Colorado Department of Health require-

I

ments, chlorination of all public drinking water supplies must be provided.

I

Chlorination of each water supply source will be provided by chlorine gas

injection with 30 minute chlorine contact chambers. The chlorine contact

I

chambers proposed will be 36-inch diameter reinforced concrete pressure pipe
