<br />e%unicipal Supply

<br />project water. The remaining 800 acre,feet of project
<br />water would be reserved for future requirements. The
<br />municipal water ~ould be lifted approximately 140 feet
<br />into the existing Colorado Springs municipal supply
<br />system, beginning with reservoirs located on the south
<br />slope of Pikes Peak. The pumped water, regulated with
<br />the present supply, would generate energy in the two
<br />municipally owned hydroelectric power plants of the
<br />Colorado Springs system. .
<br />
<br />FUTURE PUEBLO NEEDS
<br />In addition to providing treatment for Pueblo's pres'
<br />ent supply of 21,OOQ acre,feet, which is diverted from the
<br />Arkansas river, the Bureau's program would make avail-
<br />able a supply of 5,000 acre-feet for anticipated require,
<br />ments.
<br />The additional water would consist of 2,000 acre-
<br />feet from the existing \Vurtz ditch transmountain diver-
<br />sion and 3,000 acre"feet from the Frying Pan,Arkansas
<br />diversion. The Wurtz ditch is owned by the City of
<br />Pueblo. Storage facilities of the reclamation project would
<br />permit conservation of that water for municipal use.
<br />Pueblo's total supply of 26,000 acre,feet of water
<br />would be pumped from Pueblo reservoir directly into the
<br />projected purification plant, where the water would be
<br />treated before being transferred by dual pipeline seven
<br />miles to the city's distribution system. A reservoir would
<br />be constructed near the plant to provide the additional
<br />storage capacity required to supply the city's peak de--,
<br />mands.
<br />MUNICIPAL SUPPLY FOR VALLEY TOWNS
<br />The municipal water requirements for eight valley
<br />towns which have voiced a desire to participate is esti-
<br />mated at 7,540 acre,feet by the year 2000. In order to
<br />provide. a reserve for those towns and possibly others,
<br />8,000 acre-feet of project water has been allocated for
<br />valley communities. .
<br />The eight which have expressed a desire for project
<br />municipal water, are Manzanola, Rocky Ford, La Junta,
<br />Las Animas, Lamar, Crowley, Wiley, and Eads. The
<br />water for these towns would be pumped from the Pueblo
<br />reservoir to the purification plant by the same pumping
<br />plant and penstock used to obtain Pueblo's water. After
<br />being treated in the purification plant, the water would
<br />be carried down the valley by amain trunk line. Branch
<br />lines would be constructed from the trunk to Crowley
<br />and Eads.
<br />REMEDY OFFERED FOR SEDIMENTATION
<br />A remedy for the acute sedimentation problem af,
<br />fecting irrigation in the main Arkansas valley is included
<br />among the multi'purpose water conservation features of
<br />the project.
