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. <br /> <br />';-. ;Y--'-':~'" ' <br />"',:._ ',::"c ~_'/;':'-:".":...:::". <br />'.co .-~.;:.)~ -'>'.;:..}:':'.~.:..; <br /> <br />-:<:!i:;:~):r:)~i< <br /> <br />.";",...:,' <br /> <br />'-"':'<'~::;-'-r'.>:}:'-'-"' -.... <br /> <br />'.-, .-....", <br /> <br />,-,,-... <br /> <br />....
