<br />EAGLE REPORT <br />CHAPTER FIVE <br />PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />General <br /> <br />The first chapters of this report were concerned primarily with <br /> <br />general information, history of water use in Eagle, financial status, <br /> <br />physical assets of the existing system, water requirements, and the <br /> <br />water supply. This chapter and the following chapters will relate to <br /> <br />the proposed improvements and the financing of such. <br /> <br />Throughout the years, the town of Eagle has grown, acquired some <br /> <br />water rights, built additional water storage facilities, and constructed <br /> <br />water lines and a water treatment facility. With a few exceptions, there <br /> <br />has not been a general plan to follow. These exceptions exist in the con- <br /> <br />struction of the water improvements which took place in 1970 to 1971. This <br /> <br />chapter will layout a general plan to follow which should be reviewed and <br /> <br />revised as recommended annually in order that the domestic water needs <br /> <br />of the residents of the town of Eagle can be fulfilled. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Water Rights <br />Earlier in this report it was stated that the lowest flow of water in <br /> <br />Brush Creek, which occurred on February 28, 1962 and again on March 14, 1962, <br /> <br /> <br />was measured at 11.0 c.f.s. This converts to 4,937 gallons per minute (GPM). <br /> <br /> <br />The fact that the water supply is there does not give the town of Eagle the <br /> <br /> <br />right to use this water without proper and adequate water rights. Colorado <br /> <br />State Statutes provide for water to be dispersed out of the state's streams <br /> <br />in accordance with the priority of the water right. There are very few <br /> <br />months in the irrigation season when the senior rights on Brush Creek are <br /> <br />- 31 - <br />
