<br />16 <br /> <br />MANNER OF MAKING THE STUDIES <br /> <br />The supplies from the direct-flow sources availoble under <br />the rights of the City under the South Platte and its tributaries <br />were taken as those which were historically availoble during the <br />study period, <br /> <br />It should be recognized that, while certain assumptions were <br />made in the studies as regards the arder of priority of utilization <br />of water from each source, it does not necessarily follow that the <br />system must operate precisely in this fashion. In the day-by-day <br />and month-by-month operation of the system, water from the <br />various sources will be utilized in the fashion which operating ex- <br />perience, limitations on capacity of conveyance and distribution <br />facilities, geographic location of expanding demand, and other <br />similar factors may indicate to be the most desirable, For some <br />time the raw water storage reservoirs in Denver's system in <br />general will permit such flexibility in operation, within the over- <br />all administration of Denver's water rights, that the basic con- <br />clusions derived from the paper studies will not be altered. <br /> <br />However as times goes on the balancing of the various parts <br />of the system may require a modification of the suggestions and <br />recommendations contained herein due, among other things, to <br />the location and extent of population growth, industrialization <br />and other factors, <br /> <br />In operating the Moffat Tunnel system a number of alterna- <br />tive studies were made, One series assumed the present capacity <br />of the Moffat Filter Plant, which is not sufficient to process all <br />of the Moffat Tunnel water available to the City, Another series <br />assumed the enlargement of the filter plant to a capacity suffi- <br />cient to process essentially all of the Moffat Tunnel water, <br /> <br />Another series of studies was also made, one assuming the <br />operation of the present Jones Pass (Williams Fork) diversion and <br />the other assuming its completion by the extension of the present <br />collection system in accordance with the ariginal plans when the <br />project was conceived, together with an extension conceived by <br />the staff of the Denver Board of Water Commissioners a few <br />years ago, <br />
