EAGLE REPORT

CHAPTER EIGHT

RECOMMENDATIONS

This report has strived to bring attention to all the aspects of the

town of Eagle's water system. Some general recommendations have been men-

Recommendations

serve the needs of the people of Eagle. It has been shown in
Table VI of the report that 0.16 cfs of water is required for

report that the expanded filter capacity of the present plant
of 1,380 GPM would require 3,08 cfs of water right. This amount
of water right should be the minimum water right the town should
consider purchasing at this time, The town should continue the

the town.

2, Consider the construction of Construction Alternate One Modified,

transmission line, rehabilitation of the settling ponds, and the
