The system was constructed in <br />1976, and water is obtained through the Duke Ditch, which diverts water from Leroux Creek. Water <br />is supplied to about 95 residential lots and a Town park. The total irrigated area is about 60 acres, <br />and primarily use Is to irrigate lawns and gardens. The system consists of a headgate, <br />approximately 6000 lineal feel of main distribution piping (10", 8" and 6"), and approximately 3000 <br />feet of lateral piping. Water flows by gravity and Jots are served by~. Individual taps. The system <br />was Installed in the trench above the sanitary sewer and on the same grade. In places it is very <br />deep, up to 15-17 feet. The original piping was a lightweight plastJc pipe, and improper backfilling <br />resulted In crushed pipes in some areas, and significant plugging problems. As a result of the <br />blockages, and reduced flow due to mineral deposits, the overall flow capacity is less than 1/3 of <br />the original. The system Is completely obstructed in .two places, and typically only 12 to 14 users <br />can be served at a time. The project includes Installing all new dIstribution lines and lateral tap <br />lines, along with cleanouts and IsolatJon valves. The new pipes will be installed over the top of the <br />existing system but at a standard depth of 22 - 30". The piping will be heavier PVC, located above <br />the existing pipe, but offset several feet to eUminate sewer manhole conflicts. <br /> <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />
