<br />EAGLE REPORT <br />CHAPTER THREE <br />HISTORY OF WATER USE <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />The residents of the town of Eagle have always obtained their domestic <br /> <br />water from Brush Creek. The water intake headgate on Brush Creek has been <br /> <br />relocated four or five times since 1910. Near the present location ,of this <br /> <br />headgate, the town had an infiltration gallery to take the water out of <br /> <br />Brush Creek. This infiltration gallery worked like most infiltration gal- <br /> <br />leries. That is, it worked until the silt from Brush Creek plugged it up. <br /> <br />No means were provided to backwash this infiltration gallery, and as a <br /> <br />result, the life expectancy of the gallery was shorter than anticipated by <br /> <br />the town. <br /> <br />The town of Eagle was fru$trated by its attempts to obtain potable <br /> <br />water from Brush Creek, so an engineer was retained to perform a water <br /> <br />study. This water study was completed in 1965. As a result of this study <br /> <br />and of the recommendations contained in it, the town of Eagle entered into <br /> <br />a contract to construct a water treatment plant. This plant has been in <br /> <br />operation for over four years nOW. <br /> <br />Prior to the completion of the water treatment plant, the town of <br /> <br />Eagle had no method of recording the water consumption of the users on <br /> <br />the system. In 1973 the town initiated a meter installation system. This <br /> <br />system was completed in 1975. The'readings from the master meter at the <br /> <br />water treatment plant and the total readings of all the individual water <br /> <br />users indicate that the water consumption has decreased greatly since the <br /> <br />installation of individual meters. <br /> <br />All the water produced by the water treatment plant does not reach <br /> <br />the ultimate water users. Some of the water is used to backwash the filter <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~' <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- 13 - <br />
