The United States Department of Interior <br /> <br />Geological Surveys has kept a record on the water quality in the Eagle <br /> <br />River just above Gypsum, Colorado. These records show that the mineral <br /> <br />content of the water remained relatively constant with 'the concentrations, <br /> <br />naturally increasing during periods of low flow and decreasing during per- <br /> <br />iods of high flow. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />'" <br /> <br />Water Requirements <br /> <br />In this chapter we have evaluated the trend of water use in the town <br /> <br />of Eagle and have arrived at a maximum daily demand of 1,000 gallons per <br /> <br />tap. Allowing for the filter backwash water, water to irrigate the parks, <br /> <br />and other water that is wasted in the normal process of treating and dis- <br /> <br />tributing domestic water, the town should acquire 0.18 cfs of water rights <br /> <br />per 100 domestic water taps. It would require a water right of 3.41 cfs to <br /> <br />satisfy the expanded filter plant capacity of the existing facilities. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- 30 - <br />
