Therefore, some of the <br />alternates considered and discussed herein, which may be impractical <br />at this time, may be required in the future and are therefore <br />discussed and evaluated fuy'ther herein. <br /> <br />Outside Sources of Water: Due to the unavailability of good quality <br />water in the nearby area of Keenesburg, outside sources should be <br />considered. Two primary possibilities seem apparent for consideration. <br />These are the transmountain waters delivered through the facilities <br />of the Denver Water Board and the Colorado-Big Thompson project <br />water (CBT) delivered through the facilities of the Northern Colorado <br />Water Conserva~cy District (NCWCD); In reviewing the physical <br />location of distribution systems for these sources of water, it can <br />be seen that facilities distributing CBT water are much closer. <br />Therefore, consideration has been given to obtaining CST water, <br />rather than considering water from the Denver Water Board system. <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado-Big Thompson project water is transmountain water of <br />excellent quality for domestic water use. It is soft water of 2 to <br />3 grains hardness when delivered from project facilities at Carter <br />Lake or Horsetooth Reservoir. It meets the minimum standards of the <br />Colorado Health Department. The addition of a disinfectant and <br />minimal treatment is normally provided for domestic supplies. The <br />nearest major domestic water supply system supplying CBT water is <br />the Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD). The CWCWD serves <br />primarily the rural areas south and east of Greeley, but also serves <br />the communites of Kersey, Firestone, and Dacono. Exhibit V-l shows <br />the general location ~f the CWCWD service area. <br /> <br />The source of water considered from the CWCWD is attractive because <br />of the good quality water. This supply could be mixed with the high <br />fluorides water of the existing deep well supply to obtain water <br /> <br />v - 2 <br />
