This report took into <br /> <br />account previous work done by others and was directed at allowing <br /> <br />the town the flexibility to meet all future demands, yet get full <br /> <br />value out of its recent investments in the water system, such as <br /> <br />the treatment and storage improvements of 1971, which are currently <br /> <br />not totally effective and require remedial measures. The intent <br /> <br />is to utilize existing facilities to their best efficiency, while <br /> <br />planning for a varying growth status. <br /> <br />Eagle is currently negotiating to obtain adequate water rights <br /> <br />on Brush Creek and is preparing a water augmentation plan through ~ <br /> <br />its legal and engineering consultants. <br /> <br />PROPOSED PROJECT <br /> <br />The project has been developed in such a manner that all <br /> <br />improvements needed for the low growth level will fit into the <br /> <br />high growth scenario facilities. The primary difficulty in <br /> <br />planning facilities for the two growth scenarios is in the size of <br /> <br />-3- <br /> <br />2427 <br />
