<br />8 <br /> <br />electric energy surpluses which would occur in the Foot- <br />hills-Strontia Springs design would be lost. <br /> <br />3. Foothills-Chatfield. <br /> <br /> <br />From an energy viewpoint, this alternative would <br /> <br />be extremely wasteful. Obviously, it has no hydroelectric <br /> <br />generation potential. <br /> <br />But, not only would the entire hydroelectric <br /> <br />potential of Foothills-Strontia Springs be sacrificed, <br /> <br />but also an energy loss would occur because the water <br /> <br />quality deterioration would require additional treatment, <br /> <br />as a result of having to pump the raw water uphill to <br /> <br />Roxborough Park. <br /> <br />At the 125 million gallons per day first phase <br /> <br />level, 67.4 million kilowatt hours of electricity would <br /> <br />be consumed by the Chatfield Alternative -- enough to <br /> <br />supply the needs of a city of 34,000 persons. <br /> <br />00728 <br />
