A well was drilled 1000 <br />feet northwest of the current water treatment <br />plant in 1977. No water rights filing was <br />found, Originally, the well reportedly produced <br />nearly 120 gpm; however, Colorado Division of <br />Water Resources records indicate a maximum <br />sustained pumping rate of 50 gpm. Capacity has <br />since dropped to an unacceptable level, and the <br />well's 3 inch supply line was disconnected from <br />the water treatment facility. <br /> <br />2. Gardner Pipeline (Spring). <br /> <br />General. The spring was filed on in 1925 and was <br />improved by the addition in the early 1960's of 570 <br />lineal feet of 6 inch perforated concrete pipe <br />placed four feet below ground and embedded in <br />gravel. At the north end of the line is a <br />collection manhole. From the manhole, there are two <br />outlets: one 3 inch pipe designed to convey pumped <br />water into the 10 inch line that goes to the raw <br />water reservoir; and one 6 inch gravity line that <br />connects to the 6 inch reservoir bypass line. The <br />Town presently pumps hard spring water to the raw <br />water reservoir to dilute it. The pump had been <br />removed several years ago, but a new one was <br />recently installed. <br /> <br />Hydroloaic Information. The spring apparently <br />responds well to irrigation of hayfields in the <br />vicinity, and is also affected by water flow <br />quantity in Gurley Ditch. Based on information <br />gathered from current and previous Town personnel, <br />it would appear that potential capacity has been as <br />high as: <br /> <br />a) 45,000 to 50,000 gpd during irrigation season; <br />and <br /> <br />b) within 30 days of when irrigation is stopped, and <br />thereafter through winter, 20,000 to 25,000 gpd. <br /> <br />3. Norwood Infiltration Pipeline. <br /> <br />General. In 1963, a 10 inch perforated pipe was <br />placed in natural gravel at a depth of approximately <br />7 feet, or 24 inches below shallow infiltration <br />ponds. The ponds have a sand layer in the bottom. <br />This pipeline is located south and west of Gardner <br />Spring, and below the headgate. The line is able to <br />collect groundwater and also Gurley Ditch water <br />which has been diverted and sent by side pipes to <br />the ponds. The advantage of sending diverted water <br />to ponds and on to the treatment facility rather <br /> <br />IV-14 <br />
